President Bola Tinubu has sought more restraint in the exercise of the oversight functions of the legislature on the executive arm of government.
The President, who made the call at the breaking of Ramadan fast with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, and the leadership of the House on Wednesday in Abuja, said that this would result in efficiency and effective service delivery, as well as promote good governance and accountability.
Tinubu also lauded the cordial working relationship between the executive and the legislature since his assumption of office, adding that he has confidence in the ability of the National Assembly to uphold good governance.
He said that the harmonious working relationship had resulted in the passage of several bills aimed at improving the welfare of Nigerians and urged the legislators not to forget their constituencies and to take advantage of the holy month of Ramadan to show compassion and support the less privileged in society.
He stated: “We are making sacrifices for the country, and we are assuring citizens that there is a very bright light at the end of the tunnel.
“We must have faith, and please do not forget your constituencies and remember what they are going through.
“I cannot thank you enough for what you are doing, but it is for our country. There is nothing personal about this. It is for Nigeria, and we have no other country but Nigeria,’’
