Nigeria - Senate President Bukola Saraki has regretted that the All Progressive Congress didn't clinch the deputy senate position during the recent inauguration of Nigeria's 8th Assembly.
“It is unfortunate that we have a PDP man as deputy Senate President. It is painful. It is painful for every APC member because when we went through the struggle, that was not what we signed for.
"But it has happened; but it is unfortunate and it is not fair to put the blame on one side because it is a combination of errors and miscalculations that led us to have, that morning, some Senators were at another place instead of being there.
“So, to suggest that it was out of a desperate act to emerge, is what I reject completely and those who followed the events would know that I didn’t have that deal to emerge.”
When asked to speak on his rumoured ambition for 2019 presidency, Saraki noted that there were enough challenges confronting the country and not 2019, adding that those talking about the election at the moment could be described as irresponsible.
