The leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has charged members of the National Assembly to collaborate with the executive arm of government
The party gave the charge through its national chairman, Senator Abdulahi Adamu, when the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, led members of the Senate on Sallah homage to his Keffi residence in Nasarawa State on Saturday.
According to the national chairman, “I congratulate you and your deputy on your emergence as the President of the Senate and Deputy President of the Senate respectively. 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 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,” he said.
Earlier in his speech, President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, who was accompanied to the Keffi home of the APC national chairman by the deputy President of the Senate, Jibrin Barau, Senators Dave Umahi, Ali Ndume, and Opeyemi Bamidele, expressed happiness for the opportunity to pay homage to the APC national chairman, adding that “Sallah is a period to exchange love which is what Islam enjoins us to do.
He described the party’s chairman as a man of integrity that piloted the recent zoning arrangements for presiding offices of the 10th National Assembly that produced desired results.
