Nigeria’s former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has said that the eighth National Assembly did not confirm some of President Muhammadu Buhari’s nominees because of national interest.
He disclosed this through his official twitter handle @Bukolasaraki.
Saraki, the 13th President of the Senate from 2015-2019, tweeted: “When we didn’t confirm certain appointees, it was because we did our due diligence.
“When we invited the IGP & the security chiefs, it was because we wanted to find solutions to the issues of insecurity at the time.
“It was never about a personal agenda. It was always about Nigeria!”
Saraki said that the decisions the house took under his leadership were in the best interest of the nation. “The positions we adopted, and the interventions that we embarked on were in the interest of the nation.” he said.
