Sagay’s comments about Senate uncalled for – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned government appointees to stop making statements that can worsen the rift between the executive and the legislature.

APC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi said this in a statement on Wednesday.

He said unguarded utterances could derail the party’s effort to make peace between both arms of government.

He urged the chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption (PACAC), Itse Sagay to watch his comments.

“We believe the comments attributed to Prof. Sagay are uncalled for, regrettable and could further complicate the relationship between these vital arms of government.

“The party wishes to reiterate its earlier position admonishing all elected or appointed government officials to desist from utterances that may ruin efforts to build a harmonious relationship between the two arms of government.

“Prof. Sagay should not operate outside this admonition.

“Our expectation would be that as a Law Professor of repute, Prof. Sagay would appreciate the need not to denigrate the institutions of democracy, be it the executive, legislature or judiciary,’’ he said.

Abdullahi said the party objected to the Professor’s call on the Senate to withdraw invitation extended to him.

He also commended the effort of President Muhammadu Buhari for setting up a committee to solve the clash.
