Senate President Bukola Saraki said on Thursday, that his greatest challenge is keeping the 8th Senate together as a unit.
Speaking during a live broadcast on the occasion of the 8th Senate’s one year anniversary, Saraki also said he has given a directive for the breakdown of the national assembly budget to be published.
“This week we have directed that the breakdown of the national assembly budget be posted on our website.It will not be business as usual.”
Saraki said the Senate has moved on from the controversies and bickering which was prevalent among the Senators in the past year.
“I think the greatest challenge has been keeping the senate together. This is a senate that has a close divide.”
“We have moved on from what happened a year ago, and are focused on moving forward.”
The Senate President further spoke on the Niger Delta militancy while calling on the federal government to embrace dialogue.
“On the Niger Delta, government must dialogue; we do not believe force is the answer. We are confident that government would find a solution to the problem.”
“Under my leadership Nigerians come first. I will not be a senate president where issues that are burning we will not find solutions to it.”
