the
Chairman, Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology, Senator Bukola
Saraki, on Monday urged the leadership of the All Progressives Congress
to follow due process, and consider competence of aspirants in
determining the candidate of the party for the Senate Presidency.
Saraki, who is one of the two aspirants
contesting the office of the Senate President next month during the
inauguration of the 8th Senate, in an interview with journalists in
Abuja, specifically asked the APC leadership “to pick a senator that has
vision and who is ready to work, not because of what he stands to
gain.”
He said, “Part of leadership is having
principle and commitment to be able to stand for the things that are
right despite discomfort. If you look at my comments, my views have been
that the issue that has crippled us is the inability to manage our
revenue effectively.”
He
said Nigeria would be able to solve its social and economic crises with
the right persons at the helm of affairs of both the executive and the
legislature.
He said, “If you are talking about
leadership, whether in the Executive or the National Assembly, you must
have people that have the grasp or understanding of what is required.
“You must think of the value the person
brings to the people and I believe that in the area of oversight, we can
improve on our relationship with the executive.”
On the issue of party endorsement,
Saraki said what Nigerians voted for was change built on trying to do
things in a different way, and allowing people to express their desire.
