Speaker of the house of representatives, Yakubu Dogara has given reasons why President Muhammadu Buhari and other elected officials like governors should not be addressed as leaders of their political parties in the state or national level.

While receiving a delegation from the International Republican Institute led by its leader, Daniel Twinning, Dogara said;

“There is one problem that we must address in this country and that is that elected officials, especially those in the Executive, are always regarded as leaders of the political party.

That is where we have a very serious problem in this country and if an elected Executive is the leader of the political party, the situation you find on ground is that every political actor within the entire party architecture must pander to the whims and caprices of that elected official.”
