Posted by: Folamidavid in Politics, News Oct 11, 2019

President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to go to any length to make sure the relationship between the Executive and the Legislative arms of government remain cordial.

He revealed this today at the unveiling of the Legislative Agenda of the 9th House of Representatives in Abuja.

Represented by the Minister of Environment, Dr Mohammed Abubakar, PMB said he was prepared to do all he can to maintain the relationship for the benefit of every Nigerian.

He also urged the lawmakers to make laws that would safeguard the right of Nigerians, promote international relationships and develop the economy.

Buhari assured the house that all heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) will appear before the several committees for budget defence.

According to him, not doing this will undermine the National Assembly and by extension, the Nigerian people.

Do you agree with him?

Muhammadu Buhari GCFR (born 17 December 1942) is a Nigerian politician currently serving as the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015. He is a retired major general in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation’s head of state from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état. The term Buharism is ascribed to the Buhari military government.

He unsuccessfully ran for the office of president of Nigeria in the 2003, 2007, and 2011 general elections. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the March 2015 general elections. Buhari won the election, defeating the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. This marked the first time in the history of Nigeria that an incumbent president lost to an opposition candidate in a general election. He was sworn in on 29 May 2015. In February 2019, Buhari was re-elected President, defeating his closest rival Atiku Abubakar by over 3 million votes.

Buhari has stated that he takes responsibility for anything over which he presided during his military rule, and that he cannot change the past. He has described himself as a “converted democrat”.

Muhammadu Buhari was born to a Fulani family on 17 December 1942, in Daura, Katsina State, to his father Hardo Adamu, a Fulani chief, and mother Zulaihat. He is the twenty-third child of his father. Buhari was raised by his mother, after his father died when he was about four years old.
