He expressed the hope for a better working relationship between the Executive and the ninth National Assembly for the benefit of all Nigerians.

While congratulating the members-elect on their successes at the polls, Buhari reminded them their successes came with “a great burden and a great responsibility” as their people were expecting much from them.

The President posited that the major responsibility of the National Assembly was to cooperate with the Executive so that working together the two arms would come up with polices to lift the poor masses out of their poverty.

His words: “Relations between the Executive and the Legislature were not the best in the 8th National Assembly.

“I sincerely hope each one of us will do his utmost to ensure there is a better working relationship between these two arms of government in the ninth Assembly so that we can serve the people better.
