President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed his conversation with Senate President Ahmad Lawan and House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila concerning happenings in the National Assembly.
Buhari disclosed that he refrained from discussing happenings in the legislature with the duo because of his confidence in them.
He stated this on Friday in his birthday message to Gbajabiamila, who clocks 60 on June 25, adding that he watched how the Speaker passionately defending the party and issues he believed in.
“I have observed the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila for a long time, in the sense that when I was watching debates in the House of Representatives he used to be on his feet most of the time, passionately defending the party and issues he believed in.”
“I am so impressed and pleased with the performance of the Speaker and the Senate President, Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan.
“At a certain stage, I called them and told them that I did not speak to them about what was happening in the National Assembly because I have so much confidence in them.
“Our party, APC, has a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. I know both of them and endorse their leadership so I should leave them alone to do their job.”
President Buhari prays that God will grant the Speaker, the second longest-serving Rep, long life, good health and wisdom.
