Saraki Commends Buhari’s Commitment To Democracy by scholes23(op):
The Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s reaction to Tuesday’s election of
National Assembly leaders as a “great mark of leadership” and a demonstration of the President’s commitment to democracy.

In a statement issued by his media office on Wednesday, the Senate President commended President Buhari for remaining steadfast in
his commitment to the principle of non-interference in National Assembly politics even in the face of great pressure on him to act
otherwise. “This shows that Mr. President is a man of great conviction who, in his own words,
belong to everyone and to no one,” the statement reads.

In a similar vein, the new Senate President also denies that he had a plan to decamp to the People’s Democratic Party, describing the
insinuation as ” absurd and laughable.” According to him, “it is just cheap blackmail by political adversaries who want to call a dog
a bad name in order to hang it. And those making such desperate allegations should remember that I willingly left the PDP on matters of principles when the party was in
power. Is it now that the party is out of government and in opposition that I will now return having worked so hard for my party
in the last general elections,” he queried.

He stated his commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying he remains a loyal party member and a leader of the party, committed to contributing his
quota to building the party and helping it to deliver its promise of change to Nigerian people.

He urged all members of the National Assembly to put politicking behind them and settle down for the proper business of legislating. “Our country is going through a very trying times. We have the challenge
of insecurity in the North East. The massive problem of youth unemployment and general
economic challenges occasioned by the falling oil prices in the international market and the
consequential fall in revenue. All these are coming against the huge public expectation that propelled our party into office. We have
pursued our legitimate aspirations appropriately. Now that the issues have been settled, we need to move on in the larger interest of our people, without whose mandate we would not have been in a position
to aspire to these positions in the first place.”

The Senate President stated his readiness to embrace every member of the Senate regardless of his or her political leanings in the
leadership elections just concluded.
