The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu has charged members of the National Assembly to collaborate with the executive arm of government in the overall interest of Nigerians.

The APC Chairman said this when the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, on Saturday, led members of the Senate on Sallah homage to the Keffi residence of the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, in Nasarawa State.

Senator Adamu charged Akpabio and members of the National Assembly to be bipartisan in order to achieve a united legislature and the executive working in sync.

According to the Chairman, “I congratulate you and your deputy on your emergence as the President of the Senate and Deputy President of the Senate respectively. Your emergence was a great relief to the party. Contests for offices are over, it is now time for governance. There must be effective collaboration between the Legislature and the Executive in the overall interest of our people.

“As the President of the Senate and Chairman of the National Assembly, you have the knowledge, experience and what it takes for the two arms of government to work in harmony for the peace and development of our country,” he said.

Speaking, Senator Akpabio praised the National Chairman for piloting the zoning arrangements in the National Assembly that produced him and other principal officers in the national assembly.

“As I have been saying, the 10th National Assembly will support the President Bola Tinubu-led administration to succeed. We will put laws in place to support the Renewed Hope agenda of this administration in the overall interest of national peace, unity and development,” Akpabio declared.
