In a statement issued yesterday by the Senior Special Assistant to
the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, the Presidency urged
the law makers to continue with their work of nation building for the
development of the country and well-being of the people saying, “the
Senate in the last four years has conducted its legislative functions
and responded to issues that are of great national importance with
commendable political sagacity.
The presidency further said, “In this same period, the senate has
functioned as a stabilizing force within the polity employing much
political maturity that is required to guide and protect our nascent
democracy. However, confrontation and strong disagreements are not
uncommon phenomenon in Executive-Legislative relationship world-wide.
“The recent purported attempt by some Senators to prepare
impeachable offences against the President, as reported in some section
of the Media, is seen by us in this light.
“We strongly trust and believe in the leadership of the present
Senate and the unwavering patriotism and commitment that have been shown
by the distinguished members and we trust that ultimately it is this
tendency towards true Nationalism that will prevail in the senate.”
