ABUJA, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua will write to the Senate soon in response to its resolution and court rulings on his failure to hand over to his deputy during a two-month absence, an aide said on Thursday.

"The resolutions of the Senate and the various court rulings have been transmitted to the president. He is a man who respects the rule of law," presidential adviser on national assembly matters, Abba Aji, told reporters in Abuja.

"He will transmit a letter to the Senate after weighing both the Senate resolutions and the court rulings wisely. He will then do what is in his view the best for the nation."
