The Senate yesterday turned down the request of the Chairman of its Committee on Appropriation, Senator Jibril Barau, for an additional week to present the committee’s report on the 2021 Supplementary Bill sent to the upper chamber by the executive arm.
President Muhammadu Buhari had in a letter dated June 15, 2021, and sent a Supplementary Appropriation Bill of N895.842 billion to the Senate for necessary legislative action and passage.
Last Wednesday, the Senate referred the president’s request to its Committee on Appropriation for proper scrutiny leading to the preparation of a report for deliberation by the Senate at the plenary.

Senator Barau Jibril represents Kano North Senatorial District, while Shaaban Sharada, is a member House of Representatives
Reports say both Senator Jibrin and Sha’aban Ibrahim Sharada of Kano municipal constituency and Abdulkadir Jobe, representing Dawakin Tofa/Tofa, refused to participate at the Kano Local government elections to spite Ganduje, who is alleged to be against their reelection bid.
The Kano State Independent Electoral Commission, KANSIEC had on Saturday, 16th Jan organized the Local Government election across the 44 local councils in the state.
However, Senator Barau and other National Assembly members were conspicuously absent, all through the election day in what appeared to be a protest against the selections of those contesting their local government areas.
