Later  on Tuesday, the Senate  advised the President not to take  its resolution asking the service chiefs to resign with levity.

The Spokesperson for the red chamber, Senator Ajibola Basiru, stated this while reacting to the position of the Presidency on the resolution.

He acknowledged the fact that the resolution was advisory which was not legally binding on the President.

He said, “The positions of both the legislature and the executive on the resolution of the Senate calling on the service chiefs to step down are correct.

“We are elected by the Nigerian people to make laws for the good governance of the country.

“Part of our responsibility is that we have the moral duty to be concerned about the security and welfare of Nigerians. As for the legal status of our resolution, it is an advisory on the executive.

“What I can say is that the advice by elected parliament ought not to be taken with levity even though it does not have legal binding. We are of the view that the tenure of the service chiefs should be reviewed.”
