The former vice president explained how he was troubled by the crisis and its effect on the change agenda of the APC administration. According to him, the warring factions have demonstrated maturity, wisdom and sense of patriotism by finally reaching a compromise. He added that both the executive and legislative arms of government should be united by the common goal of offering efficient service delivery to Nigerians and therefore, no rivalry should exist between them. “ As a stakeholder, I am committed to promoting harmonious working relationship between the two branches of government. I was once in government, and I knew why harmony and cooperation are essential in the success of presidential system of government,” Atiku said. The former vice president urged the warring lawmakers in the House of Representatives to put the bitterness of the crisis behind them and direct their energies towards the success of the governing APC administration.
