Senate President says: NASS Nott A Rubber Stamp.

President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, for the umpteenth time on Friday, dismissed the insinuation that the ninth National Assembly is a rubber stamp Legislature.

A statement by the special adviser to the Senate President on media Ola Awoniyi says Senator Lawan who returned to Nigeria Thursday morning after about three weeks private visit abroad said no amount of blackmail will discourage the present Assembly from working with the executive arms of government for the betterment of the people.

The Senate President was responding to a surprised belated birthday presentation by his North East Support Group at the Dutse Airport in Jigawa state on his way to his Yobe North Senatorial District in Yobe State.

Lawan said the ninth National Assembly  is focused, united, and determined  to make a positive difference in the lives of Nigerians.

He was emphatic that no amount of distractions or blackmail will stop the 8th National Assembly from being united for the benefit of Nigerians who elected them.

Senator Lawan says as a legislature the National Assembly knows it's limits  in terms of cooperation and in working with the executive arm of government.

He reiterated  that the National  Assembly  will continue  to give the President and his team every possible legislative support that they require to make this country better and greater.
