SAN FRANCISCO, July 28, (THEWILL) – The Senate on Tuesday passed a vote of confidence on Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s Senate presidency, putting to bed insinuations in some quarters that it is divided.
The motion, which was moved by Senator Samuel Anyanwu (PDP, Imo east), had a wide range of support base and acceptance of majority of the Senate, as 81 Senators out of 108 supported the motion.
The passage of the vote of confidence on Saraki’s leadership effectively laid to rest insinuations of rancour among the Senators, who are said to be displeased with the Senate President.
Saraki, who was elected to the Senate on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in a welcome speech charged Senators to jettison any act of politicking that is capable of distracting them from the core business of governance and delivering change to their constituents.
“Nigerians did not give us our mandate to come and pursue leadership, their mandate was for us to pursue governance and bring solutions to their burning issues,” Saraki said.
