For assuring that 9th Senate won’t disappoint Buhari, Lawan has proven he’s a patriot —BMO

A Pro-Buhari group, the Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) Monday showered praises on the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, for committing to ensure that the Ninth National Assembly works harmoniously with the executive arm of government to bring succour to Nigerians.

The BMO, in a statement signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju, and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke, praised Senator Lawan for his sense of patriotism, dedication and commitment to finding lasting solutions to some of the numerous challenges confronting the country.

The group was reacting to a recent statement made by the Senate President at a town hall meeting in Yobe State during which he promised Nigerians that the ninth National Assembly would have a good working relationship with the administration of President Buhari.

According to BMO, the Senate President, since assumption of office, has left no one in doubt of his readiness, and the commitment of the ninth National Assembly to work with Buhari administration to deliver on his Next Level agenda for the benefit of the people.

The statement reads in part: “It is gratifying to note that we now have a Senate President who is ready to mobilise his colleagues in both chambers of the National Assembly to work harmoniously with the executive arm of government and other agencies of government for the benefit of Nigeria. For us, this is a welcome development which every well-meaning Nigerian should applaud.

“The purpose of the legislative arm of government is to work in partnership with the executive arm of government to ensure the dividends of democracy reach all and sundry. It is with great hope that the second coming of President Buhari and the new leadership of the Senate and House of Representatives provide the landscape for all Nigerians to thrive and move to the Next Level.

“This singular act of patriotism which the Senate President has repeatedly demonstrated over time has not only shown that Senator Lawan acknowledges and appreciates the enormity of the problems confronting the country, he also believes that through collective efforts of various government agencies, departments and Nigerians, we stand a better chance of resolving our problems.”
