Kashim Shettima, vice-president-elect, on Friday, met with some of the house of representatives members-elect for the 10th assembly.
The sit-down was organised by the Joint Task, an alliance of eight political parties, including the All Progressives Congress . But other APC reps in the race have expressed reservations over the party’s choices, saying that the APC did not consult them before taking the decision.Shettima said he has been meeting with the aspirants in the race to persuade them to support the party’s choice.“I will take it upon myself to reach out to the other contenders. Muktar Betara is my brother. We are from the same sub-region, we are from the same state and I have the best relationship with him,” he said.
“President Muhammadu Buhari could do little in his first term fundamentally because of rancorous or the strained relationship between the executive and the legislature. What was accomplished in the last four years was because of the harmonious relationship between the executive and legislature.
