As we reported earlier, the 7th colloquium in honour of the national leader of the All progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, held on Tuesday at the International Conference Centre in Abuja. Most of the top leaders of the APC were in attendance, including Pres. Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
However, senate president Bukola Saraki who does not see eye to eye with Tinubu, was absent at the event. It’s not like Saraki was being expected though. The senate president did not even extend the courtesy of a birthday message to Tinubu.
So what was Saraki up to at the time the colloquium which was dedicated to agriculture was going on? He was in his office hosting a parliamentary delegation from Colombia, which was led by Senator Edinson Delgado. According to a statement by his chief press secretary, Sanni Odogu, the senate president advocated for a closer collaboration between Nigeria and Colombia in order to improve diplomatic ties and enhance democratic governance in both countries.
He also said that the National Assembly is open to relationships with other advanced parliaments across the globe to broaden its legislative experience and knowledge of its lawmakers.
He noted that Nigeria and Colombia have a long standing relationship that need to be oiled and improved upon for mutual benefits just as he canvassed for strong investment in the Nigeria economy by Colombian investors.
He said; “We are happy that you are here. I believe your visit will further strengthen the relationship between Nigeria and Colombia.
“For many years, lots of opportunities have not been harnessed by both countries in spite of the fact that Nigeria and Colombia have a lot of things in common. Here in Nigeria, we have two chambers just like you have in Colombia.
“We are very identical, we must build this relationship and that is why I am encouraging this visit particularly at this period of diversification of our economy,” Saraki said.
The Senate President extended invitation to the parliament of Colombia for cooperation and exchange of programmes that would improve the quality of law making in both countries.
Earlier, the leader of the Colombian parliamentary delegation, Senator Edinson Delgado called for mutual cooperation between his country and Nigeria for mutual diplomatic and economic benefits.
Delgado said the team which comprised of Colombian businessmen and investors was in Nigeria on a three city tour of Lagos, Yola and Port Harcourt to foster partnerships and explore opportunities with a focus on commerce, industry and agriculture between both countries.
He promised to work hard to improve the economic and parliamentary relationship between Colombia and Nigeria.
“We are keen to strengthen our diplomatic relationship and establish basic opportunities between our two countries.” Delgado said.

Have you taken your drug today??

Ok

Oohk. Sariki again

what exactly is your point?


He should not atend to official duties?

I will be very correct if I say Saraki will come out unscathed.
No amount of blackmail, witch hunt, persecution and the like will stop him from finishing his tenure.

In fact at the moment it seems he is the only elected official on the platform of APC who is performing well.

E no concern me.

This is a show of shame By saraki.... So because you get personal issues with jagaban you no attend him birthday

At least he was busy with something more tangible than attending an unnecessary, frivolous party by over-grown men

Gud bye to kebe KWara in advance(Apology to Kolington). I pity dis tif

Do you speak for all the youths in this country? Are you the youth leader or minister of youths?
Because I'm wondering how you know the youths are behind him. Because I'm sure I'm not behind him.

Better not wine and dine with the devil. Drug baron for that matter.
