Saraki: I Have Never Seen This Kind Of Suffering Since I Joined Politics
Senate President Bukola Saraki believes that the present administration is racing against time as it battles to address the myriads of challenges facing the country.
In an interview he granted to NewTelegraph, Saraki lamented that he has never seen this type of suffering in Nigeria since he join politics.
“What we all need to understand is that this recession is not an All Progressives Congress (APC) or Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) problem. This recession does not identify with any party, hence we need to tap into the expertise of our best economic minds wherever they are around the world to comeup with plans that both the executive and the legislature can evaluate and implement.
“The Senate intends to invite everybody involved in the management of the economy to address the Nigerian people through the parliament on the steps that are being taken to get us out of this mess.
“We fully intend to hold all those involved in the economic management of the country accountable. However, we will do soin a manner that is transparent and beneficial to the country. In every crisis, there is always an opportunity for positive reforms, in this regard, in order to solve this crisis, all hands must be on deck.
“This matter has gone beyond what they call ‘man know man.’ This matter affects everyone and nobody is too large or big to be sacrificed in this process. People are truly suffering and,
#I think for the period that I have been in politics; I have not seen this type of suffering#….
As such, it requires that we find a solution. It is not that there are no solutions. Yes, sacrifices would be made and we must tackle it collectively and that is why I keep on emphasising the need for inclusiveness. This is the time we should lay less emphasis on the different political parties but work with whoever has the solution.
