However, the Action Congress (AC) has described as "infantile and diversionary" the bickering between the two chambers of the National Assembly over which of them should host the joint sitting for the President's budget presentation.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said the "mundane supremacy fight between the Senate and the House does not show that the legislators appreciate their role, which is to make laws for the betterment of the country."
It said the fact that the bickering had already led the President to postpone his budget presentation showed that, "it is a great disservice to the suffering masses of our people who have continued to wait in vain for this do-nothing National Assembly to make laws that can improve their lives.
"Nigerian federal lawmakers are perhaps the best paid in the world, yet they are turning out to be the least productive. The only time people hear their voices are when they are involved in one scandal or another or when they are haggling over their disproportionate perks."
