Saraki, Dogara to Nigerians: Be patient with Buhari
Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker Yakubu Dogara have urged Nigerians to be patient with President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.
Saraki said 2016 would witness a lot of transformational economic policies that would be beneficial to all.
Saraki spoke in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital during a special prayer organised to mark his 53rd birthday.
"As I said, the general challenging situation globally, in the country, and in the states did not allow for celebration. We have great challenges ahead as a country. So, we have to dedicate ourselves to improving the situation for the common good", he said.
The senate president, who called for support of all Nigerians in the task ahead, said the legislature was more committed to serve people towards realisation of collective aspirations and goals.
He commended people of Kwara state for their unflinching supports since his emergence as the senate president, saying that he would do everything within his means to ensure that he did not disappoint them and indeed Nigerians.
Kwara state Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, Speaker, Kwara House, Dr. Ali Ahmad, Senator Dino Melaye, and some members of National and Kwara state House of Assembly attended the event.
The special prayer, which was led by the chief imam of Ilorin, Shaykh Mohammed Bashir, also had in attendance the popular Islamic cleric, Shaykh Al-Misklin Onikijipa.
Dogara, who spoke while disbursing N25 million on behalf of Hon. Ahmed Ahmed Yerima at Misau,inBauchi state yesterday, said: "We are therefore urging Nigerians irrespective of their backgrounds to exercise patience with the government towards the country's re-birth and Pres. Buhari's renewed commitment to clean the mess of PDP government. Be patient with Buhari because,IT is not a one day job to clean the mess of 16 years of PDP regime. He needs adequate time to put everything in place."
He said Buhari has compensated Bauchi State with key appointments, adding that Buhari was determined to get rid of corrupt public office holders in his fight against endemic corruption.
