The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Thursday met behind closed doors with President Muhammadu Buhari  at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting was focused on the recent misunderstanding between the National Assembly and the Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, over the proposed 774,000 jobs.

Recall that Keyamo had engaged members of the Senate and House of Representatives committee on a shouting match on the matter.

While the National Assembly ordered Keyamo to suspend the recruitment, the minister had on Tuesday said Buhari had directed him to continue with the process.

The statement enraged the federal lawmakers who mandated their leaders to meet Buhari on the matter.

Lawan, while speaking at the end of the meeting with the President warned that henceforth,  the National Assembly would no longer tolerate attitudes of government officials that are inimical to cordial relationship with the executive.

Lawan who spoke in the presence of Gbajabiamila, noted that the current National Assembly has so far had a cordial relationship with the Executive arm, attributing it to the President.

He also noted that the cordial relationship between the Executive and Legislative arms had been particularly forged so as to better deliver quality leadership to Nigerians.

He said, “If you are an appointee of the President, you are supposed to be reflective of the attitude of the President towards the National Assembly.”
