Senate President Saraki
Senate president Bukola Saraki has assured Nigeria will get a better deal a government of the People;s Democratic Party from 2019.
He spoke during a ‘ thank you visit’ to PDP canvassers in Ilorin West and Asa local government areas of Kwara state.
Saraki lamented that the APC led federal government had shortchanged the people of Kwara state who voted massively for its candidates across board in 2015.
He, however, told Kwarans not to grief about the treatment meted to them by the APC government, assuring them of a better deal under Atiku Abubakar PDP- led federal government come next year.
“Today I’m not here for campaign, I’m here to thank you my people for your support. I urge you to remain steadfast in your support for us and our party, the PDP, which will by God’s grace form the federal government after the 2019 elections.
“We regret the undeserved treatment meted to you by the APC government which you voted massively for in 2015. However, let me assure you of better deal in the next political dispensation when our party shall by the special grace of God and your support form government at the centre.
“I also want to assure you that unlike the unfaithful APC, the PDP will fulfill its promises to Nigerians. The PDP will chase APC out of power in 2019 because our people have been subjected to untold hardship in the last three and half years. APC deliberately edged us out in the scheme of things so as to deny our people dividends of democracy,” the Senate President stated.
