APC Government To Write A New History For Nigeria – Saraki

Bukola Saraki, the chairman Senate committee on environment and ecology, has assured Nigerians that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government will open a new page for the country.

According to him, under the rule of opposition party all governments’ affairs will follow due process.

Saraki responded to the entire victory scored by APC in the presidential and National Assembly polls in Kwara state. He expressed optimism that going by the news getting him from across the country, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, party’s presidential candidate would emerge victorious in the presidential poll.


The APC chieftains said that the triumph victory scored in the state by the party has justified his often repeated phrase that “the peoples might is more than federal might”.

            The former governor of Kwara state expressed delight that the presidential poll results so far announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) signed victory not only for the APC, but Nigerians as well.

Saraki said the said landslide victory polled by the APC in the state during last Saturday’s presidential/NASS election was not an accident but an image of the assurance of the party’s leadership to good governance and connection with the people.

“The wind of change has come; we will open a new page for Nigerians where things will be done properly. I think for Nigerians, the victory is to be able to vote out a seating government. Nigerians have spoken rightly that they have the power to vote you in and power to vote you out and I think current people in government including people like me will seat up”.

“I hope it will be a great lesson for politicians who believe in Abuja and federal might, they have learnt their first lesson of politics that the peoples might is more than federal might and until they come to terms with this, they will continue to learn more lessons,” he stated.

Saraki advised those who are yet to join the mainstream politics of the state to do so, stressing that the era of impunity in Nigeria had gone.

He particularly asked the people of Ekiti local government area of the state where the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate hailed from not to vote based on sentiments in the coming governorship elections because according to him, their son cannot be governor by winning only one local government.

On the controversy trailing the issue of poll in Rivers state where Governor Rotimi Amaechi refused polls, the APC leader asked INEC to review the situation, saying a situation where elections was being conducted without a result sheet available was not right.

It should be noted that Nigeria’s main opposition party the APC is likely to have the majority in the incoming Senate, with no fewer than 60 senators.
