We Won’t Tolerate Disrespect From Buhari’s Appointees Again - Senate President, Ahmad Lawan
Senate President Ahmad Lawan has issued a warning to
President Buhari's appointees following the continous face-off that has been
recorded between the executive cabinet members and the legislature in the last
few weeks.
Addressing State House reporters on Monday August 31 after
Buhari inaugurated the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo-led
Executive/Legislative/Party Consultative Committee, Lawan disclosed that the
President has addressed the issues.
He said;
"I believe that should be the end of it (appointees
knocking heads with legislature). We believe that we should work together.
“Mr President made it very clear that he is not going to
tolerate any of his appointees doing things that are not respectable, things
that have no dignity to the National Assembly.
“For us in the National Assembly, I think what has happened
has happened. We pray nobody goes to the National Assembly to do the kind of
things that disrespect the President and of course abuse the National Assembly.
“We are not going to tolerate that because anyone who wants
to see Nigeria progress will continue to ensure that this consultative forum
produces the kind of result and outcomes that will make Nigeria better in terms
of governance.”
The Senate President who noted that the legislature would
always perform its oversight function and check possible excesses of the
executive, added that it is incumbent upon APC leaders at all levels and as a
party to ensure they met expectations and aspirations of Nigerians by
fulfilling the promise made to them during the electioneering campaigns.
Lawan said;
“But we also believe that separation of powers also means
there should be cooperation, consultation, coordination and partnership for the
benefits of the people of this country. This is not in any way to compromise
the different functions we’re tasked and scheduled to discharge."
