Abdullahi Adamu, national chairman of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), says the executive and legislative arms of government must
collaborate in the interest of citizens.
Speaking on Saturday when he received a delegation of
senators led by Senate President Godswill Akpabio at his residence in Keffi,
Nasarawa state, Adamu said Nigerians expect a lot from the new leadership of
the national assembly.
The APC chairman said it was a great relief when Akpabio and
Barau Jibrin, senator representing Kano north, were elected as senate president
and deputy.
“I congratulate you and your deputy on your emergence as the
president of the senate and deputy president of the senate respectively,” Adamu
said.
“Your emergence was a
great relief to the party. Contests for offices are over; it is now time for
governance. There must be effective collaboration between the legislature and
the executive in the overall interest of our people.
“Nigerians expect a lot through you and that can only be
achieved through a united legislature and the executive working in sync in a
bipartisan manner.
“As the president of the senate and chairman of the national
assembly, you have the knowledge, experience and what it takes for the two arms
of government to work in harmony for the peace and development of our country.”
On his part, Akpabio said the senate under his leadership
would support the administration of President Bola Tinubu to succeed.
“As I have been saying, the 10th national assembly will
support the President Bola Tinubu-led administration to succeed. We will put
laws in place to support the Renewed Hope agenda of this administration in the
overall interest of national peace, unity and development,” he said.
“We are here to pay Sallah homage to a man (Adamu) of
honour. To give respect to whom it is due. We thank the leadership of the party
and the national working committee (NWC) through you for the role you played
which led to the success of the national assembly leadership elections.
“We also thank the Almighty Allah for keeping you alive and
we pray that He keeps you alive in good health for more contributions to the
development of the youth of this country.”
