Senator Saraki in his address said:
“For we politicians, it is always better to get close to
know somebody because in our meetings in the 7th Senate, myself and him
were far apart, but in this current Senate, I am the first person to tell a few
people that Senator Ekweremadu is a perfect gentleman. You are a perfect
gentleman and I repeat that many times and you are a good example for us
politicians.
“He is the type of Nigerians that we will want to continue
to serve because he only sees things for the good of Nigeria. I am grateful to
be working with you and I will continue to assure you that we will continue to
work closely for the interest of this great country.”
Ekweremadu during his thanksgiving service said:
“About two years ago, nobody would have believed that we
will be here talking about Ike Ekweremadu being a Senator again, let alone
being the Deputy President of the Senate. But, by the grace of God, I am today
not only the Senator representing Enugu West, but also the Deputy President of
the Senate.
“We went through very tumultuous primaries that almost
divided our state along the line, but we thank God that today Enugu is united
and peaceful.
“After the elections, PDP lost control of the National
Assembly and many people thought we were finished, but we went into political
engineering and I want to thank my colleagues for that long night. We decided
that when we got to the chamber in the morning, we were going to perform
wonders and when the time came for the inauguration of the Senate, I was
re-elected Deputy President of the Senate. It was the will of God.
