Senate President Bukola Saraki got a
standing ovation on Wednesday, November 25 for introducing over 100
senators by their names and their constituencies in Aso Rock, Abuja.
While at the dinner with all senators of the Republic of
Nigeria and President Muhammadu Buhari, Saraki stood up to introduce
over 100 senators in attendance by their names and their constituencies.
The senators also demonstrated their respect for the Senate president when, apart from the two nominated by Saraki, others refused to make further comments despite the fact that the compere said the president had granted them permission for more speakers to address the session.
None of the lawmakers accepted to speak after the two senators nominated by the Senate president.
However, Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was spotted chatting with Saraki right after.
Ike Ekweremadu, the deputy Senate president who presided over plenary had asked the senators to converge at Saraki’s office at 7pm for depature to the Villa.
Although the agenda of the meeting was not disclosed, it was suggested that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss and mend the relationship between the presidency and the Senate.

This so impressed President Buhari that he stood up to give the Senate president a warm handshake after his introduction.
