The National Assembly has said that the President must be held accountable for the actions of his appointees.
It also accused the Executive of “systematic harassment and humiliation” “of perceived political opponents,” urging it to stop.
These were part of the five-point resolutions made at the Joint Executive Session held on Tuesday.
A tweet posted on the verified Twitter handle of The Senate
President, @SPNigeria, and containing the resolutions also stated that
the lawmakers resolved that security agencies must be given “marching
orders” to curtail the sustained killings of Nigerians across the
country and protect lives and properties of Nigerians, saying “this is
the primary duty of any responsible government.”
Other decisions reached at the joint session were revealed as follows:
“The systematic harassment and humiliation by the Executive of
perceived political opponents, people with contrary opinion, including
legislators and judiciary, by the Police and other security agencies
must stop.
“There must be strict adherence to the Rule of Law and protection for all citizens by the President and his appointees.
“The President must be held accountable for the actions of his
appointees and must be ready to sanction those that carry out any act
which will ridicule or endanger our country and democracy.
“The government should show sincerity in the fight against corruption
by not being selective, also prosecute current appointees that have
cases pending against them.”
