\n\u200eThe National Assembly Legislative Aides\u2019 Forum NASSLAF has formally denounced and dissociated itself from a group identifying as the APC National Assembly Legislative Aides Support Group ANALAG describing its formation and operations as misleading, unauthorized, and potentially destabilizing.
\n\u200e
\n\u200eA statement, issued in Abuja on Thursday, January 29, 2026 and jointly signed by High Chief Barr.Emeka Nwala, Chairman of NASSLAF, and Umar Grema Abdallah, Secretary of the Forum, clarified that while legislative aides are free to associate for legitimate purposes, no individual or group is permitted to adopt or operate under a name that suggests official representation of National Assembly legislative aides without the approval of the recognized body overseeing their affairs.
\n\u200e
\n\u200eAccording to NASSLAF, the deliberate use of the title \u201cNational Assembly Legislative Aides\u201d by a small group pursuing vested interests without consultation or clearance from the Forum\u2019s Executive Committee and general membership is misleading and unlawful.
\n\u200e
\n\u200eThe Forum emphasized that legislative aides within the National Assembly are drawn from diverse political backgrounds and traditionally operate beyond partisan affiliations, a structure it said has been instrumental to unity and the advancement of members\u2019 welfare.
\n\u200e
\n\u200eNASSLAF warned that the creation of politically aligned groups within the ranks of legislative aides could fragment the Forum, undermine cohesion, and threaten peace within the National Assembly environment. It added that the introduction of partisan political activities among aides sets a dangerous precedent capable of disrupting the solemnity and neutrality of the legislative chambers.
\n\u200e
\n\u200eOn this basis, the Forum announced its complete dissociation from the group and urged its members and the general public to disregard its activities, noting that the decision was taken in the overall interest of NASSLAF and the National Assembly to prevent over-politicization of the institution.
\n\u200e
\n\u200eDespite the development, NASSLAF reaffirmed its support for the leadership of the National Assembly and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, commending the administration for implementing the new minimum wage, paying arrears of salary adjustments, the 28-day wage award, and other approved allowances to legislative aides.<\/p>\n
