The document was delivered to Dogara about noon by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives), Suleiman Abdurhaman-Kawu.
Speaking shortly after the letter was handed over to him Dogara promised to read the letter to his colleagues in plenary on Tuesday, March 14, since the communication was meant for them.
He said: “Tomorrow (Tuesday) I will read this to my colleagues on the floor of the House and thereafter make comments from there.”
“However, permit me to thank you for working hard to ensure that there is harmonious working relationship between the Executive and the National Assembly.”
“In your own case, I can say it was an appointment that we can truly say amounted to putting a round peg in a round hole or a square peg in a square hole.”
“So, no wonder we have seen to some extent some form of understanding between the National Assembly and the Presidency.”
“We promise that we will cooperate more than we fight. Like I said before, we will always fight and that has been the practice in all climes and ours cannot be an exception but we will cooperate more in the interest of our people rather than fight.”
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday, March 13, resumed in his office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, after 53 days of medical leave in the United kingdom
