The Senate had on Tuesday stood down the confirmation of Adam to
allow for further legislative works by the Committee.
Gaya, in his report, said: “After a thorough investigation into
the petition against the nominee (Adam), the Committee found out
that the petition against him was paltry and that the reason for
the termination (not dismissal as alleged by the petitioner) was
not based on gross misconduct but on rationalisation policy of the
Federal Government.
“The court judgement was based on whether or not his appointment
should have been terminated and this has nothing to do with his
integrity or moral uprightness.”
