Subsequently after the elections that saw Senator Bukola Saraki and co member, Dogara emerging leaders of their different chambers of Government, Preseident Muhammadu Buhari has released an official statement on his stance on the controversial election.
The president would rather have preferred the process of electing the leaders remained as initiated and concluded by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Nonetheless the President took the view that a constitutional process has somewhat occurred.
“President Buhari had said in an earlier statement that he did not have any preferred candidate for the Senate and the House of Representatives, and that he was willing to work with whoever the lawmakers elected,” Adesina said. “That sentiment still stands. Though he would have preferred the new leaders to have emerged through the process established by the party”.
Adesina stressed that the stability of our constitutional order and overall interest of the common man were uppermost on the President’s mind, as far as the National Assembly elections were concerned.
The President called on all the elected representatives of the people to focus on the enormous task of bringing enduring positive change to the lives of Nigerians.”
