Buhari writes NASS, vows to deal with corrupt officials

President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday transmitted a letter to the National Assembly informing them of his resumption of duties as president.

Garba Shehu, the president’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, confirmed this in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.

According to Mr Shehu, the transmission of the letter to the two arms of the legislature — the Senate and the House of Representatives — followed the completion of his 10-day working leave.

Meanwhile, Mr Buhari has assured Nigerians that he would not spare anyone found guilty of any corrupt practice or sabotaging the nation’s economy.

He gave the assurance when he spoke to the NTA on arrival from London on Saturday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Mr Buhari, who was reacting to happenings during his absence, including the cases of defections by politicians, said the incidents were part of the beauty of democracy.

He, however, advised all eligible Nigerians to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to enable them to elect public officers of their choice.
