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 mankind and his country, Nigeria.

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.”
