The Senate President,
Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has appealed to Nigerians to continue to have
confidence in the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.
Saraki also urged the
people to imbibe the culture of peaceful co-existence with one another,
expressing the hope that the country would overcome its myriad of challenges
with time.
The Senate president
stated this at the weekend in Ilorin, Kwara State, while speaking with
journalists shortly after he was turbaned as the ‘Baba Adini of Ansarul Islam
Society of Nigeria.’
According to him, “My
message is for us to live in peace and unity. I know that we will continue to
make sacrifices; and we should be hopeful that the country will get better. We
should be hopeful that we will attain our promises with time. We just have to
stay focused and determined and should not get distracted. I’m sure at the end
of the day we will get there.
“But the most
important thing is that there must be unity and peace and we must be able to
come together and support government to be able to do our best. People should
not give up; they should be rest assured that all is going to be well,” he
said.
Saraki also defended
the need for budgetary provisions for lawmakers to execute constituency
projects across the country, saying such provisions would allow lawmakers to
impact on the lives of their constituents.
