Deputy Senate President, Ike
Ekweremadu, has explained
that the Senate President,
Bukola Saraki, was the most
persecuted in his capacity as
the Senate President in the
history of the Country.
He stated this while
contributing to the debate
marking the end of
legislative session on
Thursday.
He recalled that the
horrendous experience of
the Senate President was as
a result of his emergence as
Senate President against the
choice of ‘powers’ that be,
which he said, Saraki was
been buffeted from all
directions.
“Mr Senate President,
distinguished colleagues, I
commend your resilience
despite the fact that you
were the most persecuted,
being buffeted from all
directions,” he said.
Ekweremadu described as
unfortunate some people’s
refusal to see the patriotism
and Statesmanship of Saraki
and continue to plot for his
downfall, explaining that his
leadership was divinely
arranged.
He, however, commended the
Senate for their
understanding that has kept
them together in the last one
year, particularly with
respect to his position as the
Deputy Senate President
coming from an opposition
party.
He solicited the cooperation
of all Senators in order to
move the nation forward.
