In
a bid to solicit the support of the Senate in delivering the campaign
promises of the Buhari administration, the newly-appointed Secretary to
the Government of the Federation visited Saraki on Monday.
The newly-appointed Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
Boss Mustapha, on Monday paid a courtesy visit to the Senate President,
Bukola Saraki, and leadership of the National Assembly, Premium Times
reports.
Mr. Mustapha said the visit was to solicit the support of the
Senate in delivering the campaign promises of President Muhammadu
Buhari.
“As SGF, my responsibility is to coordinate the implementation
of government policies and to ensure that these policies are synergised
in such a manner that we will be able to deliver to the good people of
Nigeria the good things of life which they rightly deserve,” he said.
“I won’t be able to succeed in that task if I do not get the
cooperation of the National Assembly. That is why I’m here today. To
extend a hand of friendship. To extend the hand of soliciting (for) the
cooperation of the National Assembly.”
He continued: “Whatever that has been lost in the past, we can
quickly regain and recover and make progress so that by the time the
four-year first mandate comes to an end, we can show on our profile.
“Mr. president is passionate about the three approaches he has
promised. One, to fight for the security and defeat insurgency in every
part of the country, two is to diversify the economy and thirdly to
fight corruption. None of these three can be achieved if we do not get
the support of the National Assembly, particularly now the Senate.”
Mr. Mustapha thanked the Senate President for his role in the 2015
presidential campaign and for personally attending his inauguration as
SGF.
“We are here on a courtesy call to truly thank you personally
for taking out time for attending my swearing-in ceremony as SGF and to
also convey the gratitude of the President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, and the entire government on the
leadership you have given the National Assembly as a whole.
“Let me put it on record that your leadership has helped
tremendously in stabilising the polity and also given a purposeful
direction that we require by the Presidency to ensure that we deliver on
the promises that we made to Nigerians when we sought for their mandate
in 2015.
“You ran for the Senate in your constituency in Kwara State and
I remember vividly serving as the Director of Campaign you were all
over the place campaigning to ensure that President Muhammadu Buhari won
the election and we did. Thank you so much for what you have done for
APC victory.”
