President Muhammadu Buhari says a lot of progress has been
made working with the current national assembly.
Speaking at the national executive committee (NEC) meeting
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja on Friday, Buhari said the
national assembly led by the current senate president has shown “so much
commitment” to issues.
“I was constrained to tell you yesterday (at caucus meeting)
that there was a time I called the senate president and the leader of the house
and told them that to sit on a budget for seven months is not politics and it
is not hurting the president, whoever it is, it is not hurting the person but
the country,” he said.
“For that reason I was pleased to mention yesterday that the
ninth national assembly, you can see and read it in the papers, they have so
much commitment on important issues and we make a lot of progress.
“This relationship, we will try and maintain, we cannot
allow some of the things go public but I assure you that we have made a lot of
progress.”
The president’s comment comes a day after Senate President
Ahmad Lawan said any request Buhari sends to the national assembly would make
the country a better place.
At a meeting with Itse Sagay, chairman of the Presidential
Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), at his office, Lawan expressed
willingness to approve of any request of the president.
