The Senior Special Assistant to the president on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Ita Enang, has refuted reports that he apologized to the senate on behalf of the presidency.
Media reports stated that Enang apologized to the senate over remarks made by Okoi Obono-Obla, a special assistant to the president on prosecution to a senate committee on Thursday.
According to him, reports that he apologized were a misrepresentation of his comments.
“I apologise for his comments. From what I heard, he was not complimentary to the senate,” Mr. Enang said. “We didn’t need to cause more trouble between the presidency and the Senate.”
Mr. Enang, therefore, urged Nigerians to dismiss reports that his apology was on behalf of the president, saying doing so, in this case, “would be terrible”.
“The president has not apologised. It is me that is apologising for the inappropriate action of the person representing the Attorney-General,” he said.
