Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, today, averted what could have been an embarrassing situation for President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had hijacked a deliberation over the high rate of unemployment, by asking President Buhari to start implementing his promised N5,000 to unemployed people in the country.
The Senate President, Dr. Saraki, after a heated debate that was based purely on party line, put the question for the Senators to make a voice vote.
Despite the raised voices of the PDP senators, the Senate President ruled that those who opposed the move to force the President to begin to pay N5,000 to each of the unemployed people in the country carried the day. [myad]
