June 9, 2015 – President Muhammadu Buhari has called on members of the national assembly to work for the interest of the common man.
Buhari made the observation in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Femi Adesina.
Adesina said the President would have preferred the new leaders to have emerged through the process established by the party but that the “stability of constitutional order and overall interest of the common man were uppermost on the President’s mind, as far as the National Assembly elections were concerned.”
The President called on all the elected representatives of the people to focus on the enormous task of bringing enduring positive change to the lives of Nigerians.
He reiterated his previous sentiment that he has no preferred candidate.
“President Buhari had said in an earlier statement that he did not have any preferred candidate for the Senate and the House of Representatives, and that he was willing to work with whoever the lawmakers elected.
“That sentiment still stands”, Adesina said.
