The presidency has dismissed reports of a planned move to impeach the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
President Bola Tinubu’s Adviser on National Assembly Matters
(Senate), Senator Basheer Lado, said such reports should be disregarded because
there is a harmonious relationship between the Executive and Legislature.
In a statement he issued, Lado assured that Tinubu is
committed to working with the legislative arm of government.
He noted that the senate would continue to function freely and without interference, adding that security presence at the National Assembly complex is for the routine safety and protection of legislators and staff.
According to Lado: “The attention of this office has been
drawn to online reports that security agents have been deployed to prevent
senators from carrying out their legislative duties, specifically in relation
to an alleged impeachment of the Senate President.
“I wish to categorically state that these reports are
baseless and should be disregarded as there is no discord within the rank and
file of the senators.
“The legislative body remains united in its commitment to the
advancement of Nigeria’s democracy.
“The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His
Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, in line with his dedication to a harmonious
working relationship among the senators, recognises the critical role of the
senate in driving legislative progress.
“His Excellency remains committed to ensuring that this
collaboration is based on mutual respect, dialogue, and shared goals for peace,
progress and prosperity of all Nigerians.
“I therefore urge the public to disregard such unfounded
publications which could undermine the integrity of the legislature.”
