Senate President Bukola Saraki said he did not sacrifice former Majority Leader Mohammadu Ali Ndume for peace to reign in the Senate

Saraki said this in an interview with State House correspondents yesterday after meeting behind closed-doors with President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Do I look like someone that does things like that?” the Senate president quizzed while responding to a question from journalists.

Saraki stated that there was no crisis in the Senate over Ndume’s removal from the position of Senate leader, saying the institution is bigger than every senator.

“There is no crisis in the National Assembly, things like this do happen and as you said the institution is bigger than everybody, and I’m sure that he (Ndume) and everybody else will always work for the interest of the institution and for the interest of the country. Everything is calm, solid and fine,” Saraki said.

The Senate president hinted that he met with President Buhari over the 2017 budget currently before the National Assembly.
