A leading contender for the Senate Presidency, Bukola Saraki, on Monday unveiled his agenda for the 8th Senate. Saraki said if his colleagues gave him the opportunity to serve them as President, he would ensure openness, transparency and accountability in running the affairs of the Senate.

He further said the public will be better enlightened about the functions of the legislative arm. Saraki adding, said that, under his leadership he will take responsibility for ensuring good governance.

Punch reports that Saraki said he, would make the task lighter because he and his colleagues would be on the same page in the area of probity and accountability.

"One of the things I have observed in our engagement with many Nigerians out there, they wonder, 'what do they do there? What happens in the National Assembly?...There's no connection between the National Assembly and the Nigerian people. I hope that the Eighth Chamber, under our leadership, would begin to bring a closer relationship, a better connection between the Senate and the Nigerian people.

"Some of the laws that we would pass are laws that would have direct impact on the lives of our people. Secondly, in the areas of representation, we must improve in being able to connect, and interact with the people we represent.

"I also think there are some bills that are priority bills. In doing that, I think, one, in the area of delivery of Justice; I think it's a key area. All the things we talk about, whether its security, rule of law, anti-corruption and even on the commercial side, we need to look at that.

"We need to look at electoral reform because that would strengthen our democracy. These are bills I believe are key. We need to priorities these bills.

"Some of our responsibilities in the area of oversight, we really need to improve on that. No matter and whatever we say, some of the issues that we have seen, on things that have happened over the last few years, we cannot but take responsibility, that there's poor oversight, and that's an area we must improve upon," he said.

He finally appealed to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress to allow lawmakers elect their own leaders, a move he said would ensure stability in the Legislature.
