Senate President Bukola Saraki has appealed to President Buhari to give
those who didn't vote for APC a chance in his government so that the
dream of bringing the desired change in Nigeria might be realized.
Saraki gave the charge while speaking at the 1 year anniversary of the
Senate yesterday..
“We must find a way to bring the best brains in our country on board
wherever they may be found. Even those who did not vote for us but
believe in the change that we all believe is necessary to move our
country forward should be given a seat at the table.
If we are able to mobilize the best human resources
that God has bountifully blessed our country with, I have no doubt that
with God on our side, we shall overcome. We note the Federal
Government’s plan to invest N500 billion in social protection programmes
in the current budget. We want to urge the government to ensure that
appropriate mechanism is devised to ensure that the benefits of these
programmes get to those who are genuinely in need. It is important that,
as we move forward in this fight, considerable attention is paid to
strengthening the anti-corruption agencies to enable them discharge
their functions with greater efficiency and fairness"he said.
