The President of the
8th Senate, Mr. Bukola Saraki, said yesterday that his leadership
would not employ vendetta in the screening of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s
wise men.
The Senate President
dropped this hint on Tuesday in his welcome address to his colleagues at a
plenary after their six-week recess, expressed confidence that Nigeria’s
economy would experience a turn-around with the appointment of ministers.
In his words...
“As we await the list
of ministerial nominees this week, I believe the presence of ministers will
create the space for greater policy engagement with the executive arm of
government”.
He continued… “It will also
enable us to begin to respond in a more systematic manner to the various
economic and social challenges before us, especially through our various
committees that will also be constituted soon. On this note, I want to urge you
all my colleagues to ensure that what is uppermost in our minds as we begin the
constitutional task of screening of ministerial nominees is the overall
interest of our country, informed by the enormity and the urgency of the
challenges before us. Once the list is submitted, let us ensure that we treat
it with dispatch and thoroughness. We must not be held down by unnecessary
politicking”
