President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari has made it clear that the era where executive would interfere in the affairs of the National Assembly is over.
“Nigeria has indeed entered a new dispensation. My administration does not intend to repeat the same mistakes made by previous governments.”
The President-elect, in a statement from the head of his media team, Malam Garba Shehu, reiterated his willingness to work with any leader of the National Assembly that the process throws up, irrespective of what part of the country he or she originates from.
Buhari said that the clarification has become necessary in view of the continued name-dropping in some circles linking his name to some candidates.
“I am prepared to work with any leaders that the House or Senate selects,” General Buhari said in the earlier statement two weeks ago. “It doesn’t matter who the person is or where he or she is from.”
“There is due process for the selection of leaders of the National Assembly and I will not interfere in that process.”
General Buhari urged the media and the public to begin to get used to no more “business as usual.”
