The Chairman, Senate Committee on
Environment, Bukola Saraki, has advised
members of the National Assembly to pay less
attention to politics or politicking and focus on
nation building.
While speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise
Daily, Senator Saraki highlighted building
capacity to help President Muhammadu Buhari,
achieve all he has promised Nigerians as an
important role to take seriously.
The National Assembly had just passed 26 bills
into law and Saraki believes that there should
be priority bills that should be passed amongst
the 26 bills that were just passed.
He added that as a lawmaker, the bills that
would be passed should add developmental
value in the interest of both the PDP and the
APC to help move the country forward.
On reports making the rounds that there are
certain criteria for the election of Senate
President and House of Reps Speaker, Sen.
Saraki said that there is need for such criteria,
because merit is important to be able to build
and govern the members of the House to work
in the right direction.
Senator Saraki also expressed optimism that
President Buhari would give the right direction
to revamp the country and the new
administration will fill the gap of leadership
and strong will that was lacking before.
