"The executive should not be brought into their [National Assembly] crisis. If the National Assembly members want to go into the chambers and break one other’s heads, let them do it on their own. Let that be a National Assembly matter," Ojudu said.
Babafemi Ojudu, Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Political Matters, says the Executive must not interefere with the Legislature, to the the extent that even if National Assembly members want to go nto the chamber to break one another's heads, they should be allowed to.
He also expressed confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari’s sense of justice, insisting that Buhari would “probably” also have sacked the former Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Lawal Daura, had he been in the country.
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo had, on Tuesday, ordered the immediate sack of Daura, following an invasion of the National Assembly by DSS officials who prevented the entry of lawmakers, staff and journalists into the premises.
Speaking Channels TV's 'Sunrise Daily' on Wednesday, Ojudu said: “We cannot tolerate brigandry in our national life.
"The executive should not be brought into their [National Assembly] crisis. If the National Assembly members want to go into the chambers and break one other’s heads, let them do it on their own. Let that be a National Assembly matter.”
On the speculations that Buhari may reverse Daura’s sack when he returns to the country next week, Ojudu said: “Many of you don’t seem to know President Buhari at all. He is not that kind of person.
"He is a very just and frank person. If he had been around, he probably wouldn’t have also allowed this kind of thing to happen without some kind of sanction. This has been the limit of it.”
