“He said that the report revealed that the 81 senators who appended their signatures to Saraki’s endorsement are enemies of Buhari.
“I want to state clearly that the report and those insinuating that 22 northern senators who signed that report are working against President Buhari are the ones that are actually working against him.

He said that the assembly would continue to focus on issues that would bring progress and development of the country, adding that,” Senate will not compromise honesty, truth and integrity.”
