President-elect Muhammadu Buhari has insisted that he will not interfere in the process of selecting leadership of the National Assembly.
Buhari said he was prepared to work with whoever emerged irrespective of where he comes from.
In a statement from his media team, the President-elect said it has become necessary for him to clear the air in view of the continued name-dropping in some circles linking his name to some candidates.
He said: “I am prepared to work with any leaders that the House or Senate selects. It doesn’t matter who the person is or where he or she is from. There is due process for the selection of leaders of the National Assembly. I will not interfere in that process.”
Buhari added that the media and the public should begin to get used to no more “business as usual. Nigeria has indeed entered a new dispensation. My administration does not intend to repeat the same mistakes made by previous governments.”
