Saraki also explain give say need dey for executive arm of goment to constantly do tok tok wit di legislators on top di issue of budget, adding dat di National Assembly no be rubber stamp and di executive gatz understand say additions to the budget na part of National Assembly responsibilities.

He also note say even if di Assembly no confam some appointment by di president no mean say na quarrel and dat need dey for di two arms of goment to work togeda to build beta goment for Nigerians.

Failure not to confirm some appointment no be to cause quarrel. E say e go define di 8th Senate as lawmakers wey fight for democracy and hold goment accountable.

Saraki bin dey tank Naija pipo for di big opportunity wey dem give am to serve as Senate president wen di 8th National Assembly do dia final sitting on Thursday.

As e be so, Presido Muhammadu Buhari go inaugurate di 9th assembly next week, wey go make Nigeria national laws for di next four years.

Na on 9 June 2015, both houses of di National Assembly begin siddon.

According to di Nigeria 1999 Constitution, both di senate and house or reps go continue to siddon make laws, until di last day wey go complete dia four-year period.

Dat na why dem no dey follow govnors and president do swearing-in for May 29 wey be hand over day for Nigeria.

Di National Assembly no fit begin work until di president inaugurate dem and dis fit only happun afta May 29 wen di president don enta office.

Many Nigerians no go forget di plenti drama, political magomago, security harassment and kasala wey happun for di life of dis assembly.

Na di very first day wey dem inaugurate dis 8th assembly dia yawa start.

Like di Game of Thrones, Bukola Saraki, Yakubu Dogara, Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila bin dey hustle who go be leaders of di two chambers of di National Assembly.

While di ruling APC dey support Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila to lead di senate and house of reps, di Saraki and Dogara group kick against am.

So wen di party and Presido Muhammadu Buhari bin call all di lawmakers to gada for International Conference Centre for meeting to solve di wahala, na so oga Saraki and Dogara dribble dia party and do dem one chance elect dia leaders. Dis one make am difficult for di two principal officers to get beta rapport wit di president.
