Reps Fault Jonathan On Appointment of Special Advisers - Say It Breached Section 151

The House of Representatives, Thursday expressed dismay over the failure of President Goodluck Jonathan to inform it of his request for the appointment of Special Advisers as required by Section 151 of the constitution.

Section 151 of the Constitution stipulates that: "The President may appoint any person as a Special Adviser to assist him in the performance of his functions. The number of such Advisers and their remuneration and allowances shall be as prescribed by law or by resolution of the National Assembly."
