2027: Atiku presidency won’t determine Senate President or House Speaker — Melaye

Dino Melaye, deputy director-general of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council, said a government led by Atiku Abubakar would let lawmakers choose the Senate President and House of Representatives Speaker independently. He argued that this independence would strengthen the National Assembly’s oversight of the executive. Asked on Arise Television about monitoring public spending, Melaye cited the Committees on Establishment, Finance, and Budget and Planning as channels for questioning officials and tracking expenditure.
