Presidency, Senate Face Off Threat To National CohesionACF

The apex northern socio-cultural group, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) have expressed its worries with the open fights among appointees of President Muhammadu Buhari on the one hand and the altercation between the Executive and the National Assembly, in particular, the Senate on the other hand, describing it as a threat to national cohesion and development.ACF in a press statement issued by its national publicity secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim Biu and made available to newsmen in Kaduna, said, It is a known fact that in the last three weeks or so, Nigerians have witnessed open disagreement between officials of government that are supposed to work in concert, thereby threatening national cohesion and the development of our young democracy. The relationship between the executive and the senate on the other hand to say the least is unhealthy, with each flexing its muscle to intimidate the other over issues that could easily be resolved.According to the forum, this development is certainly not the best for Nigeria considering the myriad of challenges facing the nation. We are faced with insecurity, economic recession and socio-political problems that require synergy between the executive and the senate for good governance and not show of power.
