Sunday PUNCH reports that Tinubu’s notice of invitation to the lawmakers-elect was signed by the Permanent Secretary of the State House, Tijani Umar, on behalf of the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila. “In this regard, you are kindly requested to inform all concerned members to attend and forward their list early enough for security clearance. Please, accept the assurances of the President’s highest consideration.”
The NNPP spokesman, Agbo Major, while reacting to the President’s invitation warned that the opposition lawmakers-elect should operate without the interference of the executive, maintaining that the lawmakers must always ensure that the principle of separation of power should be embraced by the three arms of government in every situation in the interest of the country.
Also, spokesman for the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, said the party would prioritise national interest over partisanship, adding that a request of such a meeting with its member-elect had yet to reach the party.
