It was a shocker today for members of Senate Unity Forum in particular and some Nigerians in general who have been following the crisis in the 8th Senate following the emergence of Dr Bukola Saraki as President.
 
81 senators have just passed a vote of confidence on the Senate President, Dr Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu and this was uninanimously adopted, without a single dissenting voice.
 
Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki who also announced it on twitter moment ago said, "81 Senators just raised a motion to pass a Vote of Confidence on My leadership as Senate President and was unanimously adopted" ~ @bukolasaraki
 
The motion was moved by Senator Sam Anyanwu (Imo East) at the resumption of the Senate from four weeks' recess and supported by Senator Dino Melaye (Kogi West).
 
UPDATED
 
The Senate on Tuesday passed a Vote of Confidence on Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s presidency, putting to bed insinuations in some quarters that it is divided.
 
The motion, which was moved by Senator Samuel Anyanwu (Imo east), had a wide range of support base and acceptance of majority of the Senate, as 81 Senators supported the motion.
 
The passage of the Vote of Confidence on Saraki’s leadership as President of the Senate has effectively laid to rest insinuations of rancour among the Senators, who are said to be displeased with the Senate President.
 
It would be recalled that Saraki emerged President of the 8th Senate entirely on the goodwill of majority of the Senators who voted for him as their preferred choice against the wish of some party leader.
 
However, with the latest development, those rumours and insinuations of a divided Senate can be said to be over, as an overwhelming majority voted to pass the motion of a Vote of Confidence on his leadership.
 
Senate President, Dr Saraki in a welcome speech charged Senators to jettison any act of politicking that is capable of distracting them from the core business of governance and delivering change to their constituents.
 
Saraki was quoted as saying “Our mandate is not to come and play party politics, but to be solution providers for numerous challenges that has bedeviled our country from every side ”
