My re-emergence as deputy Senate president, act of God – Ekweremadu

Senate President Bukola Saraki has described his Deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, as a man who has the interest of Nigeria at heart.

This is even as Ekweremadu described his re-emergence as senator and Senate deputy president as an act of God.

Saraki stated this on Sunday, at a civic reception in Mpu, Ekweremadu’s hometown, shortly after a special thanksgiving service, where he rededicated himself to the service of Nigeria and mankind.

Speaking on behalf of the Senate, Saraki described Ekweremadu as a man who every Nigerian politician should look forward to working with.

He said: “For politicians, it is always better for us to get close to know somebody because in our meets in the Seventh Senate, we were far apart, but, in this 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 politicians.

“He is the type of Nigerian that we will want to continue to serve because he only sees things for the good of Nigeria. I am grateful enough 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.”
