Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, (middle), Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu(1st left) and the Central Bank Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele after a courtesy visit to the National Assembly Senate President, Bukola Saraki has declared that he is not moved by those attacking him over his emergence as the leader of the 8th National Assembly.

Saraki has been under serious verbal attacks following his refusal to accept the outcome of the APC mock election, where the party settled for Ahmed Lawan as the Senate President.

However, the former Kwara State governor said he was aware that many persons had labeled him a traitor, as had gone as far as digging up several stories about him and blaming him for the crack in the National Assembly.

Saraki said he remained unfazed by the “negative lives” and promised to continue being focused regardless.

Reacting to stories about him via Twitter, Saraki stated, “I’m aware of activities of certain online platforms being sponsored by mischief makers to post all sorts of negative lies against me.

“The lies will not change my focus to deliver on my mandate, which is to ensure legislation that will directly impact the lives of Nigerians.

“No matter the pressure, no special interest group can blackmail #8thSenate to do their bidding. I AM ACCOUNTABLE ONLY TO NIGERIANS,” he tweeted.
