President-elect Muhammadu Buhari has said
that he is willing to work with any leader of the
senate, irrespective of what part of the country
he or she hails from.
In a statement released in Abuja on Wednesday,
Buhari described as false, insinuations in the
media that he was in support of any particular
senator’s emergence as leader or that he
belonged to any camp pushing for the
emergence of a leader from a particular part of
the country.
“I am prepared to work with any leaders that
the house or senate selects,” he said. “It
doesn’t matter who the person is or where he or
she is from.”
He added that these insinuations were probably
born out of people’s expectations based on the
way things had happened in the past, but
reminded Nigerians that change had truly come.
“There is due process for the selection of
leaders of the national assembly,” Buhari said,
“and I will not interfere in that process.”
He added that the media and the public should
begin to get used “to no more business as
usual”.
“Nigeria has indeed entered a new
dispensation,” he said. “My administration does
not intend to repeat the same mistakes made
by previous governments.”
Buhari’s latest statement validates TheCable’s
previous exclusive that the president’elect
would not intervene in the emergence of the
senate president and speaker of the federal
house of representatives.
“My sense is that Buhari does not want to be
called a dictator because that was the tag his
opponents have put on him since he started
bidding for presidency in 2003,” one of his
associates had told TheCable.
“Over the years, the unfortunate
characterisation of Buhari has mellowed him
down and you can now see him doing things he
normally would not do.”
The battle for the senate presidency looks a
two-way battle between Ex-governor Bukola
Saraki (Kwara) from the north-central and
Ahmed Lawan (Yobe) from the north-east,
while Femi Gbajabiamila (Lagos), the current
the minority leader and Abdulmumin Jibril
(Kano) are known to be interested in the
speakership of the federal house of
representatives.

Best statement so far from our President Elect. Keep up the good work and make sure its sustained.

Some TANoids will not like this news.

A man of integrity from executive arms of govt. wil never be afraid of any leaders from another arms of government, whether legislative or judiciary

Bukola Saraki for Senate President. If yes, click Like, if No click Yes

This man just keeps on reminding me that nigeria has got a president



Unlike in the past wey we no knw who dey rule between husband and wife

Funny almajiris, the man is only telling you people, you are on your own. Don't act like you are happy about this

Most party members will become very indiscipline and may work against the overall interest of the party if a figure like the president elect refuses to intervene when the party is making critical decisions such as that of the leadership of the national assembly. Though his intervention may be minimal, he still has to ensure that all party members abide by the party's decision.

so you feel you just made sense?

Senseless TANoid!

The feel I get from this man and his pronouncements are that Nigeria will be better of from his tenure.
He honestly at this moment in our history is what we need...he is an idea whose time has come.

Those who remember how OBj influenced and actively played roles in the choices of leadership in both houses. he bribed and threatened those who failed to fall in line will be relieved the president has made this statement..if an executive has nothing to fear and will work consistently with the laws of the land, he will have no interest in who emerges as leaders of other independent bodies..
that been said, i HOPE SARAKI does not win- that man is corruption personified.

Good idea Mr. President-Elect. Imposition of candidates is what is killing PDP.

Truth?
your own version of truth, I guess

If this story is true, this man called Buhari will earn another respect from me.

Let NASS decide their own fate and let the best man / the most acceptable among the lawmakers lead.
