The maturity of the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has translated into the many achievements of the ninth assembly within a short period, President Muhammadu Buhari has said.
The achievements, Buhari said, included the harmonious relationship between the legislature and the executive, which he stressed, recently, and historically, saw a return to the right budget cycle.
The president made the remarks on Sunday on the occasion of the 61st birthday of Lawan.
He stated that he joined the National Assembly and all members of All Progressives Congress in celebrating the milestone, “which has been lined with many years of contributions to Nigeria’s development, with fruitful years of lawmaking, starting from House of Representatives in 1999.”
At 61, the president said he believed the Senate President’s maturity, rich experience as an administrator, educator and lawmaker would go a long way in shaping policies that would directly impact on the livelihood of Nigerians.
He commended his responsive and inclusive leadership style, too.
President Buhari prayed that the Almighty God would continue to guide Lawan to provide strong leadership, and grant him longer life and good health.
