(He was then) able to achieve a lot in his second term,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Muhammadu Buhari could do little in his first term fundamentally because of rancorous or the strained relationship between the executive and the legislature. What was accomplished in the last four years was because of the harmonious relationship between the executive and legislature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen President Goodluck Jonathan lost grip of the national assembly when Aminu Waziri Tambuwal emerged as the speaker, that rancorous relationship eventually culminated in his defeat in the 2015 general election.\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kashim Shettima, vice-president-elect, on Friday, pleaded with those vying for speaker of the House of Representatives to shelve their ambition and support the candidates annointed by the ruling APC.
