"The National Assembly would accept 'rubber stamp' label if it would guarantee good governance for Nigerians", says the President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmed Lawan on Monday at the two-day Joint Executive-legislative Retreat with the theme: “Promoting Effective, Legislative Partnership and Finding a Middle Ground,” held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Lawan stressed that the National Assembly decided to work with the executive quite early for the benefits of Nigerians, though the relationship is misunderstood by many. He said Some out of mischief describe the National Assembly as rubber stamp, some out of misunderstanding. But for them in the ninth assembly, what is utmost is how to work with the executive to make Nigeria better.
“If the price to pay is the names that we get, then let it be the price, because we believe that Nigerians deserve better service, better Infrastructure development in the country and it is difficult if not impossible in this country or indeed in any democracy without understanding and harmony in the way and and manner the two arms of government work", said Lawan.
