National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu has urged lawmakers not to allow excuses hinder their performance.
Tinubu made the call when Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate president, led senate and house of representatives committees on the review of 1999 constitution on a visit at his residence in Lagos on Saturday.
He urged them to come up with legislation that would help in promoting the country’s diversity for prosperity.
“I urged you to continue to work for the unity of the nation for our diversity to be meaningful. I promise to be available to render any assistance by providing suggestions and ideas that can foster a greater Nigeria.
“Do not allow excuses turn you to the house-of-do-nothing. The country is not in a panic mode because of the way you have given effect to the executive constitutional requests,” he said.
He added that some items in the exclusive federal list were too loaded.
Speaking earlier, Ekweremadu said the visit was to honour Tinubu as a prominent leader and a former senator.
The deputy president of the senate described him as a man of great expertise in the art of governance and law-making.
He said the lawmakers would always be ready to learn from his wealth of knowledge.
