Saraki spoke in Abuja when 29 State Chairmen of the APC across the country visited him in Abuja. Only the state party chairmen from the South West did nit turn up at his office.
The Senate President stated that the Senate would not disappoint Nigerians neither would the APC senators abandon the party on whose platform they made promises of development, security and improved standard of living to the people.
“Finally I want to use this opportunity to assure you of our cooperation with the Executive arm led by our President, President Muhammadu Buhari, with the party and and it’s members across the country.
“I want to reassure you that all of us, APC Senators, we are committed to ensuring that the APC is successful so that we can continue to win elections for many years after because of the foundation we are laying.
“It is now our responsibility to pay back so that you can sit back and say that our efforts were not in vain and that those we elected made this party proud and made this country great.
“I can assure you that we are committed to do that because you have all suffered to get us to this point and we must show the difference, the positive difference between APC government led by President Muhammadu Buhari and others before it. We have no choice. There is no alternative. President Muhammadu Buhari must succeed and Insha Allah, he will succeed,” Saraki said.
Earlier, the Chairman of the State Chairmen of APC in Nigeria, Umar Haruna Doguwa from Kano State said the group was in the Senate to congratulate the Senate President and all APC Senators in the Upper Chamber for their victory during the 2015 general elections and the leadership for their selection by their colleagues to the number one legislative institution in the country.
