Spokesperson of the NEF, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed during an interview on Channels TV on Tuesday said, the position of the NEF was that President Bola Tinubu should steer clear of the leadership tussle in the National Assembly because imposing leaders on the legislators was “not in his best interest.” “We believe that legislators are people who are responsible, voted for, a legislature is an extremely important organ of government the executive has no business dictating to them who they choose to be their leaders; we believe they should be independent”
“All we are asking for is to allow them to choose don’t be calling them like small boys and be telling them the party giving them formula, the president telling them this is the way I want things done they will not tell you what to do; that’s not constitutional.
