Senate president, Senator Bukola Saraki has
described his Deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu,
as a perfect example for Nigerian politicians,
saying that he tremendously enjoys working with
him.
The two spoke at a civic reception at Senator
Ekweremadu's village, in Mpu, Enugu State,
shortly after a special thanksgiving service, where
Ekweremadu rededicated himself to service to
Nigeria and mankind.
Senator Saraki in his address said:
“For we politicians, it is always better to
get close to know somebody because in our
meetings in the 7th Senate, myself and
him were far apart, but in this current
Senate, I am the first person to tell a few
people that Senator Ekweremadu is a
perfect gentleman. You are a perfect
gentleman and I repeat that many times
and you are a good example for we
politicians.
“He is the type of Nigerians that we will
want to continue to serve because he only
sees things for the good of Nigeria. I am
grateful to be working with you and I will
continue to assure you that we will
continue to work closely for the interest of
this great country.”
Ekweremadu during his thanksgiving service said:
“About two years ago, nobody would have
believed that we will be here talking about
Ike Ekweremadu being a Senator again, let
alone being the Deputy President of the
Senate. But, by the grace of God, I am
today not only the Senator representing
Enugu West, but also the Deputy President
of the Senate.
“We went through very tumultuous
primaries that almost divided our state
along the line, but we thank God that today
Enugu is united and peaceful.
“After the elections, PDP lost control of the
National Assembly and many people
thought we were finished, but we went into
political engineering and I want to thank my
colleagues for that long night. We decided
that when we got to the chamber in the
morning, we were going to perform wonders
and when the time came for the
inauguration of the Senate, I was re-elected
Deputy President of the Senate. It was the
will of God.”
