Nigeria - Two chiefs of the All Progressive Congress, Atiku Abubakar and Aminu Tambuwal have congratulated the emergence of Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara as senate president and House of Reps speaker of the 8th National Assembly, VANGUARD reports.
Reacting to the development, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State commended the lawmakers for exhibiting maturity and for the defence of legislative ethos in the choice of their leaders.
He said the outcome of the elections indicated that democracy had come of age in Nigeria, adding that the doctrine of the independence of the legislature was gradually taking firm root.
Similarly, a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, congratulated the newly-elected leaders, admonishing them to see their elections beyond the interests of their respective political parties.
Atiku, in a statement, noted that with the elections of its presiding officers, the eight assembly should swing to work and put the overall national interest beyond the personal political interests of its members.
