Sen. Ekweremadu is a man every Nigerian politician should look forward to working with- Sen. Saraki

Senate president, Senator Bukola Saraki has
described his Deputy, Senator Ike
Ekweremadu, as a perfect example for
Nigerian politicians, saying that he
tremendously enjoys working with him.
The two spoke at a civic reception at Senator
Ekweremadu's village, in Mpu, Enugu State,
shortly after a special thanksgiving service,
where Ekweremadu rededicated himself to
service to Nigeria and mankind.
Senator Saraki in his address said:
“For we politicians, it is always better to
get close to know somebody because in
our meetings in the 7th Senate, myself
and him were far apart, but in this
current 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 we politicians.
“He is the type of Nigerians that we will
want to continue to serve because he
only sees things for the good of Nigeria. I
am grateful 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.”
Ekweremadu during his thanksgiving service
said:
“About two years ago, nobody would
have believed that we will be here talking
about Ike Ekweremadu being a Senator
again, let alone being the Deputy
President of the Senate. But, by the
grace of God, I am today not only the
Senator representing Enugu West, but
also the Deputy President of the Senate.
“We went through very tumultuous
primaries that almost divided our state
along the line, but we thank God that
today Enugu is united and peaceful.
“After the elections, PDP lost control of
the National Assembly and many people
thought we were finished, but we went
into political engineering and I want to
thank my colleagues for that long night.
We decided that when we got to the
chamber in the morning, we were going
to perform wonders and when the time
came for the inauguration of the Senate, I
was re-elected Deputy President of the
Senate. It was the will of God.”
