Abuja-based rights activist, Deji Adeyanju has hailed former Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

 

He described Saraki as a principled politician who opposed tyranny under ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.

 

Adeyanju said Saraki’s record as the 8th Senate President remains unmatched in the history of Nigeria despite the reign of tyranny at the time.

 

The rights activist made the remark while celebrating Saraki on his 61st birthday.

 

In a statement he signed, Adeyanju noted that Saraki made deliberate efforts to prevent Buhari’s administration from plunging Nigeria into unnecessary debts.

 

According to Adeyanju: “May I use this opportunity to wish a great leader, Senator Bukola Saraki, a happy birthday. On the occasion of your birth anniversary, I pray for God’s continuous protection over your life and that of your loved ones.

 

“You have exhibited exemplary character throughout your political career. Your record as the Senate President of the 8th Nigerian Senate remains unmatched in the history of our country despite the reign of tyranny at the time.

 

“Also noteworthy were the deliberate efforts to prevent the government of the day from plunging the nation into unnecessary debts as the senate under your leadership rejected about eleven frivolous loan requests.

 

“Furthermore, I am particular grateful to you for the goodwill and support you showed to the family of my late friend, Comrade Ariyo, after his unfortunate demise. May God bless you sir.

 

“May your light continue to shine bright as you continue to navigate the onerous task of nation building.”
