The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has said that the Senate under his leadership was committed to better socio-economic development of the country.
Speaking with journalists at his family residence in Ilorin yesterday after a thanksgiving prayer session to commemorate his 53rd birthday in Ilorin, Senator Saraki said the day did not call for celebration because of the global situation affecting the country.
The special prayer, which was led by the chief imam of Ilorin, Shaykh Mohammed Bashir, also had in attendance the popular Islamic cleric, Shaykh Al-Misklin Onikijipa, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, Speaker, Kwara House of Assembly, Dr. Ali Ahmad, Senator Dino Melaye, and several members of National and state House of Assembly.
When asked to speak on what the nation should expect from him as the leader of the National Assembly as he added a year, the Senate President said, “As I said, the general challenging situation globally, in the country, and in the state did not allow for celebration. We have great challenges ahead as a country. So, we have to dedicate ourselves to improving the situation for the common good”.
Saraki, who called for support of all Nigerians in the task ahead, said the legislature was more committed to serve people towards realisation of collective aspirations and goals.
He also assured that the present leadership under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari was committed to making lives more bearable and comfortable with economic policies that would be beneficial to all.
He also hinted that Nigerians should be expectant in the coming year, saying it would witness realisation of lots of transformational economic policies that would be beneficial to all.
He commended the people of Kwara state for their unflinching supports since his emergence as the senate president, saying that he would do everything within his means to ensure that he did not disappoint them and Nigerians in general.
