The lawmakers threatened to impeach President Buhari if he fails to address the security challenges in the country within the specified time.
However, Adesina while reacting to the threat of the lawmakers said their plan would not exceed their action in the Senate.
He described the lawmakers’ as a minority of minorities.
“I think it was just bravado, and sadly, security is not something you subject to bravado.
“You don’t begin to issue flippant ultimatums in something that is a matter of life and death.
“Those who spoke today are the minority of minorities, they will have their say as is needful in a democracy but it will not go beyond that.
“They know in their heart of hearts that they cannot achieve what they are saying, they are just wasting the country’s time, wasting the time of the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly, they know that they cannot achieve it.
“The truth is that in this kind of scenario, the minority will always have its say while the majority will have its way,” Adesina said while speaking on Channels TV.
