Nigeria’s Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has called on citizens to continue to live in peace and have confidence in government in turning the fortunes of the country around.

The Senate leader, who spoke to Channels Television in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital, assured Nigerians of the government’s determination to surmount the challenges currently faced in the country.

“I am very hopeful that the country will get better, I am very hopeful that we will get over all our problems with time, we just have to stay focused and determined and not be distracted. But most important thing is that there must be unity and peace and we must be able to come together and support the government,” Saraki said.
