Nigeria - The Muhammadu Buhari Legacy Foundation, a group, on Saturday urged Senators-elect to elect Sen. Bukola Saraki as the President of the Senate for the 8th National Assembly which will be inaugurated on June 4.
In a statement signed by the Coordinator of the North Central Zone of the association, Mr Bode Towoju, the group said Saraki had the necessary skills and intellectual capacity to pilot the affairs of both the Senate and the National Assembly.
According to the statement, Saraki will help to stabilise the parliament for efficient and effective performance. It said that Saraki’s leadership was needed at this critical time when the country was yearning for true independence of the legislature.
``We are soliciting the cooperation of all Senators-elect and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure the emergence of the former Kwara State Governor as the President of the Senate.
``Saraki will not be a rubber stamp President of the Senate where no robust debate will be allowed.
``Saraki has got all the nationalistic qualities and cognate experience to be trusted with the position,’’ it said.
It said that the country also needed a President of the Senate that would stabilise the country without undue confrontation with the President.
