Buhari 'll enjoy working with Saraki – Kwara APC ... as Deputy Speaker, Ex-Commissioner, others urges confidence in him The Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reassured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari will find the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki as a reliable and dependable companion in their collective quest to foster good governance and enthrone a regime of positive change in the country.

A statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Sulyman Buhari, said: “As a former Special Adviser to former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Budget; a former two-term Governor; a Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum and a legislator with cognate experience, Sen. Saraki is coming onboard to the senate leadership with a rich executive and legislative experience in the art of governance. “At several fora, Sen. Saraki has solemnly declared that he owes Nigerians his best efforts at effective representation as well as accountability, honesty, fairness, and courtesy. We recall with satisfaction, that as a member of the out-gone 7th Senate, Sen. Saraki did his utmost best to serve his constituents and the nation with wisdom, courage and honesty. ''It is judging from this antecedent that we believe that as the Senate President, Sen. Saraki will be true to these obligations, and will work to preserve the greatness of Nigeria and Nigerians. “As a party under which platform he emerged, we assure that Sen. Saraki will promote the equality of all without fear or favour. He will not act, nor condone others in acting, in ways which exploit, slander, or discriminate against others. He will not act, nor condone others in acting, in ways which are dishonest or which exploit positions of privilege for personal gain.” “Sen. Saraki does not hide his respect and support for President Muhammadu Buhari both in private and in public. It was out of this respect that he graciously stepped down as a presidential aspirant of the APC in the build-up to the historic presidential primaries of the APC which held in Lagos, thereby paving the way for the deserved victory of President Buhari. ''That rare gesture, taken in spite of pressure and inducement, which the President himself acknowledged and commended, was an open show of respect and admiration for President Muhammadu Buhari. We are deeply convinced that every inch of this respect and admiration for the President waxes stronger in the vein of the Senate President and he will not betray that for anything!” Meanwhile, Nigerians have been enjoined to build confidence in Senator Bukola Saraki as he steers the ship of the 8th senate. According the Deputy Speaker, Kwara House of Assembly, Hon. Matthew Okedare, former Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Usman Abubakar and an NNPC Consultant and friend of Senator Saraki, Alhaji Ayinde Amsa, described Saraki's emergence as divine which as united all Kwarans, adding that he has new innovation to polish the senate .
