The Senate has resolved to write the Chief Justice of the
Federation, Justice Walter Onnoghen, to express their reservations
about the judgment by a Federal High Court stopping the National
Assembly from overriding President Muhammadu Buhari’s veto on the

abuse of the principle of separation of powers.”
He prayed that the Senate writes the CJN on the matter, which
was unanimously granted.
