The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, has reversed the appointment of Festus Adedayo as his special adviser for media and publicity.
This was made known in a statement by his special assistant on media and publicity, Mohammed Isa.
Although no reason was given for the new decision, the Senate President however, wished Mr Adedayo well in his future endeavours.
“The office of the President of the Senate has reviewed the appointment of Mr Festus Adedayo as Special Assistant to the President of the Senate and decided to rescind its decision on the appointment, and wishes Mr Adedayo the best in his future endeavours,” part of the statement read.
The Senate President appointed Mr Adedayo on Tuesday, but the decision was opposed by government loyalists who said Mr Adedayo was a harsh critic of the administration.
