The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the 9th Assembly under the leadership of Senate President Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan has enhanced national planning.
Secretary of the APC Caretaker Committee, Sen. John J. Akpan Udoedeghe in a 62nd birthday message to Lawan on Monday said the Senate President has contributed immensely to national development and the growth of the governing party.
“Commendably, H.E. Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan’s collaborative leadership of the 9th National Assembly has achieved and sustained the long-eluded December-January budget cycle in an equally multi-partisan National Assembly. This has ensured better national planning.
“In partnering with the executive, the 9th National Assembly under the watch of H.E. Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan has chosen to work for public good and national interest.
“At party level, H.E. Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan is a valuable partner-in-progress who is supporting the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) mandate to reposition our great party and ensure peace, unity and true reconciliation across party ranks.
“H.E. Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan inputs as member of the tripartite executive/legislative/APC consultative committee has ensured good governance and accelerated implementation of the Next Level Agenda.
“The APC family celebrates an experienced, cerebral, dexterous and patriotic federal lawmaker who as Chairman of the 9th National Assembly is enshrining a best practice, particularly in legislative-executive relations in Nigeria,” the party said.
