Senate President Ahmed Lawan says the National Assembly would no longer tolerate any act of disrespect towards the legislature from appointees of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He stated this Monday while addressing State House correspondents shortly after Buhari inaugurated the Tripartite Consultative Committee of the Executive, Legislature and Leadership of the ruling APC at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Lawan said he was satisfied that the president had warned his appointees against disrespecting the National Assembly.
“I believe that should be the end of it (appointees knocking heads with legislature). We believe that we should work together.
“Mr President made it very clear that he is not going to tolerate any of his appointees doing things that are not respectable, things that have no dignity to the National Assembly.

“For us in the National Assembly, I think what has happened has happened. We pray nobody goes to the National Assembly to do the kind of things that disrespect the President and of course abuse the National Assembly.
“We are not going to tolerate that because anyone who wants to see Nigeria progress will continue to ensure that this consultative forum produces the kind of result and outcomes that will make Nigeria better in terms of governance,” Lawan stated.
