Aminu Tambuwal, former speaker of the house of representatives and Governor-elect of Sokoto state has blamed President Goodluck Jonathan for the failure of the House of representatives to perform properly.
THIS DAY reports that Tambuwal made the observation in a valedictory speech, titled: ‘The Power of Unity of Purpose,’ .
He said the attitude of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the ruling party, in trying to manipulate and stampede the legislature into submission, forced it into a cul-de-sac and occasioned the rancour between the two arms of government.
''I must say that the frosty relationship between the executive and the seventh House was an unnecessary distraction and a source of embarrassment to the nation. It was unwarranted that a ruling party with clear majority boxed itself into that situation. If the executive fails to recognise the independence of the legislature and expects that it is its rubber stamp, then a frosty relation is bound to follow.
''I would strongly urge the incoming executive arm and indeed the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to avert this unwholesome situation''.
