President Muhammadu Buhari warned all his appointees that he would not accept any act of disrespect to the National Assembly.
According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President handed down the warning while receiving the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Recall that the National Assembly and the Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, were at loggerheads recently over the proposed seven hundred and seventy four thousand jobs.
Keyamo had engaged members of the Senate and House of Representatives committee in a shouting match on the matter.
But according to the statement, the President asked ministers and all heads of departments and agencies to, at all times, conduct themselves in ways that will not undermine the National Assembly as an institution, its leadership and members.
