Nigeria’s President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has described the 10th national assembly as the “best of partners” of his administration.
In a statement on Tuesday by Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, Tinubu commended the leadership of the national assembly for supporting him.
Tinubu said working with the national assembly gives him “great pride”.
“It is a great pride for me to have the best of partners in the National Assembly. We have to drill down and be all-inclusive in our bid to satisfy our people. It is daunting, but we cannot run away from the fact that this country must survive the hardship,” the president said.
Tinubu also acknowledged the struggles of Nigerians and assured the nation of his unwavering determination to turn things around.
Many observers have described the 10th assembly as a rubber stamp despite the legislature leaders’ efforts to dismiss the label.
Many Nigerians, particularly on social media, have criticised the assembly for being too pliable to the executive’s demands.
The latest episode of the accusation followed the swift passage of the bill to reintroduce the old national anthem.
In June, 35 members of the house of representatives also proposed a six-year single term for the president’s office.
