“We have never given up on the issue of Saraki remaining in position as Senate president. We will continue to regard him as a usurper.

“There is nowhere in the world, in a presidential system of government, where the minority sits as the leader of the National Assembly, be it in the Senate or House of Representatives. It is for the party in the majority to decide who the leader is.

“Though we see him as a usurper, we are a serious government. We have a responsibility towards governance. This is somebody whose main interest is to ensure that we don’t have the opportunity to do those things that we have promised to do for the people of this country.

“We won’t allow such a person to constitute a hindrance to governance. So, we have to be practical and pragmatic as possible in a way that we will be able to deliver on our promises."
