President Muhammadu Buhari has raised the alarm over the frustrating attitude of the National Assembly, saying that it is regrettable that the lawmakers have remained a clog in the progress of the administration.
He, however, stated that the Federal Government is doing everything possible to improve the relationship between the executive and the legislative arms of government.
Buhari disclosed this on Tuesday in Abuja during the third National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the party’s National Headquarters.
The president also asked all the members of APC to support the party’s reconciliation committee led by the party leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
In his opening address at the event, Buhari paid tribute to all the organs of the party for expanding the vision of the party to all frontiers.
He recounted how the party has been winning elections in most of the states and the impressive result that it recorded in Anambra State, calling on all members of the party to sustain the tempo.
The president further said: “We must acknowledge that the face of government has not met the expectations of many within our party. But few of us know or appreciated the depth of the wrath when we took office and that we spent the last two years bringing the country out of the mess we met it”.
He was quick to point out that the National Assembly has slowed down governance but assured that the bottleneck will be resolved.
He said: “Furthermore, the stand off between the executive and the National Assembly slowed down the process of government. We are working hard to resolve the differences so that the country can move forward.”
He called on all organs of the party to cooperate with the reconciliation committee led by Tinubu to put at rest all issues and misunderstandings that are not in tandem with the spirit of the party.
“Accordingly, I implore all members of the party to give the Asiwaju committee full cooperation to resolve existing differences among our members in the states affected. It is perhaps inevitable that there will be differences of opinion within the party.
“If we resolve them, then we can build a genuinely Democratic Party. But we must not lose sight of our common purpose as a party to break the mule of Nigerian politics and takes the country to new heights. Therefore, we have asked Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to lead this process of restoring order, manage differences and strengthen the party,” Buhari stated.
