Senate President Saraki Welcomes President Buhari, Says: “The Good Work Continues”

President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar
Bukola Saraki, has welcomed President
Muhammadu Buhari back to Nigeria.


In a statement signed by his Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph
Olaniyonu, Saraki thanked God for the safe
return and recovery of the President, and
reaffirmed the commitment of the
National Assembly to continue working
alongside the President in achieving
objectives aimed at improving the
standard of living of Nigerians and overall
development of the country.


“I thank Almighty Allah for bringing
President Muhammadu Buhari back
whole, hale and hearty,” the Senate
President said, “When we met just two
days ago, it was clear that Mr. President
would soon be coming back home.


In this
regard, on behalf of all the Senators, I
welcome him back to the country.



“We must also commend Professor Yemi
Osinbajo, our Vice President, who, as
Acting President, held the forte in Mr.
President’s absence.



“Now that President Buhari has returned
home, both branches of government, the
executive and the legislature, must
continue to sync our policy and legislative
objectives to strengthen our economy
through the diversification of our revenue
streams; creating opportunities for more
private sector participation in the
economy; and creating access to capital
for MSMEs and would-be entrepreneurs.



We must also tackle the unemployment
problem head-on. We can only do this,
working together.



“Moving forward, over the next few
weeks, I am sure I speak on behalf of all
the Senators when I say that we look
forward to considering the Virement
request by the Presidency which is before
the National Assembly, and working
towards the early presentation,
consideration and passage of the 2018
budget.



“May the Almighty Allah continue to bless
our nation, and give our President,
Muhammadu Buhari, the strength and
wisdom to lead us successfully ” the
Senate President said.



Signed:



Yusuph Olaniyonu
Special Adviser (Media & Publicity) to the
Senate President
