I rate Saraki, Dogara very very low – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari says he rates senate president Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house, “very very low”.

Speaking in an interview with state TV, Buhari said the national assembly, as led by Saraki and Dogara held Nigeria to ransom for seven months without passing the budget.

“I told Saraki and Dogara that by holding the budget for 7 months, you’re not hurting me, you’re hurting Nigerians? In terms of patriotism, I rate them very very low,” Buhari said on Monday night.

The president said the national assembly wanted to show they were the government and not the executive, and he made his displeasure known about their conduct.

Buhari and the leadership of the national assembly have had a long run of disagreement from one issue to the other.
