The president of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, has not made a secret what transpired between him and the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu during their meeting.
Mr Lawan who on Sunday, July 7, paid a courtesy visit to Bola Ahmed Tinubu at his Bourdilon home in Ikoyi, Lagos State said the crux of his tete a tete with the APC steward bordered on his resolve to charge the Senate to take its oversight duties with utmost diligence and seriousness and not to play politics of prejudice.
The Senate president through his official Twitter handle pledged his unalloyed support for the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to have a greater and better Nigeria.
He wrote;
“During my visit yesterday to the National Leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I reiterated the fact that the Senate will take its oversight role seriously and perform its assignments without fear or favour.
We will perform our job not to create hostility or engender rancour in the relationship between the National Assembly and the executive but to create synergy. Synergy will help us deliver our respective services to the people.
That notwithstanding, I want to assure Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari and the government would be supported from the National Assembly.
Addressing senators during the resumption of plenary on Tuesday, July 2, in Abuja. The Senate president said there was serious poverty in the land and that only concerted efforts by the two arms of government could address the issue.”
