The Presidency has denied involvement in the invitation of Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu by the police for alleged forgery of the Senate rules.
Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina, who said this yesterday on Kakaaki, a breakfast programme on Africa Independent Television (AIT), affirmed that Buhari would not subvert the rules of the National Assembly.
He said: “You do not know this president. This president will not orchestrate anything. Nothing that will be unconstitutional and nothing that will amount to underhand deal.
“Straightforward, plain and decent. Maybe that was what he expected everybody to do. He didn’t think anybody was going to subvert the process. That is why the National Assembly is where it is. But no orchestration.
“This is not a president that will subvert the rules in any form and he thought everybody was going to play that way. But unfortunately, it did not happen that way and we have what we have now.”
Adesina explained that Buhari would take his time to build strong institutions that would endure. – The Nation.
