A lawyer, Ikechukwu Ikeji on Monday said the various arms of government in Nigeria should show respect for one another insisting that the executive arm should “do unto others what you expect them to do to you.”

Mr Ikeji, who was a guest on Channels Television’s programme, Sunrise Daily, was responding to questions surrounding the controversial comments reportedly attributed to the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku.

Mr Maku was reported to have said that the position of the senate asking President Goodluck Jonathan to reverse the issuance of N5000 note was advisory and can either be implemented or ignored.

Mr Ikeji however said though the executive arm of government is not duty bound to implement the resolutions of the National Assembly, it must accord respect for such resolutions.
