Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki has warned against politicizing the request by President Muhammadu Buhari to borrow $29.9 billion to fund social infrastructure in the country between 2016 and 2018.

It will be recalled that the Senate on Tuesday failed to give its nod to the request for lack of a detailed borrowing plan.
To this end, the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed while briefing State House Correspondents at the end of the meeting of the Federal Executive Council, FEC on Wednesday said that the federal government would re-present the letter.
According to him, the senate needed a detailed information on the loan, saying it would be made available.
Confronted with the issue on whether the matter had marred the relationship that existed between the Executive and Legislative arms of government, the senate president, Saraki who was in the presidential Villa, Abuja for Friday worship stated that the relationship between the legislature and the executive was still a work in progress.
“I came here to pray. I have finished praying and I just had a general felicitation with the President. It didn’t go beyond that.

“We should not look at that as a reflection of the relationship. Don’t let us politicize very important issues. As we said our relationship is work in progress,” he said, emphatically meaning that the issue of the loan was a different matter for which the position of the Senate is well known

tahhh..$29.9 billion is not enough to bring nigeria were we suppose to be today,,,

lets admit it:...we failed..

lets concentrate on agricultural industries.....forget catching up with the rest of the world...its too late.....

That money small oh . . .

Saraki don dey take style change tone after meeting with the president. Next, the loan request will be re-presented and the senate will overwhelmingly approve it. Baba is finally learning how to engage the legislators meaningfully. In our kind of democracy, the president just can't do without the support of the national assembly.

Saraki sabi play double agent aswear..... He's being a thorn in the flesh of this government since inception but then Buhari got what he deserved. Let the battle for supremacy continue while Nigerians continue to suffer, all I know is 2019 is not far away....
