The management, officials and players of Abubakar Bukola Saraki Football Club (ABS FC) are celebrating the emergence of the chairman and proprietor of the club as the Senate President of the eighth National Assembly.
Bukola Saraki, ex-Governor of Kwara State and senator representing Kwara Central, was elected as the new president of the Senate last Tuesday.
Senator Ahmed Lawan (Borno), who emerged the consensus candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was not nominated, hence Saraki was elected unopposed by 57 of 108 senators, with 51 senators missing, Lawan among them.
The General Manager of the club, Aloy Chukwuemeka, who led the celebration party, congratulated Saraki for achieving the feat.
He expressed confidence in the ability of Senator Saraki, who he described as a competent, loyal, hard-working and result-oriented leader, to take absolute charge of the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
According to Chukwuemeka, “On behalf of the management, officials and players of ABS FC, I congratulate our chairman and proprietor, Distinguished Senator Bukola Saraki, the new Senate President and Chairman of the National Assembly.”
He added that the emergence of Saraki underlines the collective preference for a credible legislature and the confidence in his (Saraki’s) capacity and competence to lead it.
ABS FC was introduced to the footballing market by Senator Saraki as a platform to empower and encourage Nigerian youths to utilise their God-given football talents.
