I won't allow Buhari's govt fail - Senate President

The President of the 8th Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki, has vowed to do all within his powers to ensure President Muhammadu Buhari led administration does not fail.

In his words: “For some of us, this government cannot be allowed to fail. We left one party with our supporters and embarked on this journey."

Continuing the Senate President said: "We must be able to go back to them and tell them that that journey was worth it. If God forbid this government fails, what will I go back and tell them? It is in my personal political interest to see that this government succeeds.”

In a report by Daily Trust, Saraki reiterated his loyalty to the President Buhari while stressing that if he wasn't loyal, he won't have allayed fears about the President's health after paying him a visit in London.

“Who was it who stood up resolutely and said Mr. President will be back and there is no cause for alarm? I don’t think a man who is not loyal to you will do that. We know some people who went to London and saw President Buhari, but they just left. They did not say anything," he said.

On claims that he is frustrating the administration, he said: “There is a lot of misinformation out there. From Day One I took a position, and some very powerful people don’t like the position. When you want to know who is loyal to you, it is during your trying moments. Go back two months ago.

“My message to all our party’s supporters is that I am committed, that whatever we promised Nigerians, we will deliver."

Saraki has consistently reiterated his support for President Buhari's administration as well as the APC as his party.
