DR M T MBU (CFR) - Chairman )〕 After taking his seat in the Senate, Mbu Junior was appointed to committees on Security & Intelligence (chairman), Foreign Affairs, Defense, Women Affairs and Privatization.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Congressional Committees )〕 An October 2002 survey of the performance of senators noted that in the first three years of the current Assembly, he had presented five bills. After Mbu had left the Senate, in November 2003 his house in Abuja was slated for demolition. However, the demolition team was stopped from pulling down his and neighboring houses when it was found that one of them was owned by a powerful businessman. In a February 2010 interview with the ''Vanguard'', Mbu called on the National Assembly and state governors to force the Federal Executive Council to declare the ailing President Umaru Yar'Adua incapacitated so Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan could assume his duties. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matthew Mbu Junior」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
