“Once again, we congratulate the Senate President and wish him the best in his new assignment. We are confident that his performance in this new capacity will surpass the expectations of the IHRC. We hope and pray for more notable successes for our distinguished leader.
“The party also commends the IHRC for finding Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki worthy of the appointment,” the statement read.
