Senator Kabir Marafa has said he was yet to receive official communication to that effect, said the APC was the minority in the Senate and so would not be effective in frustrating anything. He said, “As of today(Sunday), I have not received any official communication from our party directing me not to participate in the debate on the budget or screening of the military chiefs and the ministers. “Today, the Committee on Air Force, of which I am a member, commenced the screening the new Chief of Air Force, and nobody has told me not to participate in the exercise so. “In any case, I do not think that our great party which parades eminent, respectable and highly experienced politicians could issue such a directive knowing full well that an institution like the National Assembly has its unique ways of doing things. As senators, our responsibility,first and foremost, is to the nation and the people and if my party leaders should call me to tell me to carry out a directive, I will tell them my own position on it first.”
