According to Lawan, a good working relationship between the two arms of government would also forestall the anxiety and instability that a rancorous relationship could bring about.
“The past uneasy relationship between the Legislature and the Executive was not helpful to anyone.

“And of course, at the construction site, all of us are supposed to work together to construct that structure,” Mr Lawan said.
He said that to avoid the pitfall of the past, there was a conscious decision to have a National Assembly, particularly the Senate that was bi-partisan and work for the collective interest of the people.
Mr Lawan said that the 9th National Assembly would support President Muhammadu Buhari because “we believe that fight between the legislature and the executive does not help anyone.”
