A statement issued on Tuesday evening by Femi Adesina, President Muhmmadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity , said the
“president would rather that the process of electing the leaders” in the national assembly “as initiated and concluded by the All Progressives Congress (APC) had been followed.”
“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. Though he would have preferred the new leaders to have emerged through the process established by the party.”
“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,” Adesina said.
Buhari whilst accepting the that a constitutional process has somewhat occurred, however failed to congratulate the duo.
