The National Assembly has said that it will no longer tolerate public display of rascality by appointees of President Muhammadu Buhari and some civil servants.
Senate President, Mr Ahmed Lawan, gave the warning on Thursday while fielding questions from State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting with President Buhari.
He said the National Assembly is concerned about the recent conduct of some government officials at the National Assembly.
Signaturetv.org recalls that recently, two top government officials and their entourage on invitation of the National Assembly walked out on the committees.
The Senate President, who briefed journalists in the company of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, noted that the current National Assembly has had a cordial relationship with the executive arm in the interest of the citizens.
He warned that the cordial relationship between the executive and legislative arms of government should not be taken for weakness, insisting that it had been particularly forged to deliver quality leadership to Nigerians.
Lawan said though the National Assembly would not continue to tolerate the attitudinal display from appointees of President Buhari, the legislature would not define its relationship with the President by the misdemeanor of one appointee.
“The National Assembly will take exception to any attitude or disposition that is not in support of the harmony in the relationship between the two arms of government.
“I think the relationship between this National Assembly and the executive arm of government, particularly Mr. President, is beyond one employee of the President.
“Whatever we’ll do to ensure that the administration works for Nigerians, we will do that and this is to enhance the relationship between the Executive and the Legislature to commit ourselves to ensure that we work together.
“The essence of this particular visit is to ensure that the legislature, the National Assembly and the Executive arm of government, led by Mr President, continue to work together to ensure that the relationship that we have, which has been working for this administration to deliver services to Nigerians is sustained,” he said.
