We’re Not A Rubber Stamp Assembly - Lawan

Ahmad Lawan

Senate President, Ahmad Lawan has said that the assembly has done what is best for the country and not a rubber stamp as it is being accused of.

Speaking at a banquet held in honour of President Buhari on the first day of his two-day official visit to Yobe state, Lawan said the ninth assembly passed many difficult and complicated legislations because President Muhammadu Buhari gave them all the support they needed to do their work.

He said;

“Your Excellency, today by the Grace of God, it is almost three and half years that I have been working with you as Senate President.

“In all my years in the National Assembly, I have never worked with any President who never asked that he wanted things done a certain way but I want to admit here that Mr President, you have never asked me to do anything. You believe we should do what is best for our country.''
