The Senate President’s remarks were contained in a video posted on the official Twitter account of the office of the senate president on Monday.

Saraki said, “In order to meet the aspirations of the Nigerian people, both chambers of @NASSNigeria must work closely together.

“It is important that there is cooperation irrespective of party position and affiliation. You have been elected by different parties but once you get to the National Assembly, your constituency is Nigeria,” he said.
