Letter extending tenure of NASS clerk, Omolori, others not from me – Speaker

As crisis of tenure elongation of the Clerk to the National Assembly and other staff intensifies, the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives has disclaimed a letter purportedly written by him extending the tenure of the Clerk, Sani Ataba Omolori.

In a statement by the Special Adviser to the Speaker on Media and Publicity, Mr. Lanre Lasisi on Wednesday, the Speaker described as fake, the purported letter, while urging Nigerians to disregard the scam.

“The attention of the Speaker of the House of Representatives Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila has been drawn to a letter purportedly emanating from his office allegedly stating his endorsement of the new Condition of Service for National Assembly staff passed by the 8th Assembly

“The Speaker wishes to inform the general public that there was no time he directed issuance of such purported letter from his office as there is a recognized and authorized channel for all correspondences and resolutions reached by the House or its leadership.

“The Speaker also wishes to call on the general public to disregard the letter and always rely on official communication channels of the House for news on the position of the House on any matter.”
