Chairman of the Committee, Sen. David
Umaru.

In his remarks, the President of
the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, said “let me on behalf of the
entire Senate congratulate the new Grand Khadi of Sharia Court of
Appeal, Hon. Ibrahim Rufai Imam and wish him a successful

play his role in the judiciary.

240 confirmations here in the Senate, of which, 227 have been
affirmative and only 13 have been negative.

these numbers today show the level of cooperation that we will
continue to give the executive,” Saraki added.
