Abuja - The Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar-led National Peace
Committee has rejected the outcome of the election in the Senate, which
produced Senator Bukola Saraki as the Senate President, reports The Nation.
The group described the election, which also produced Ike Ekweremadu as the Deputy Senate President, as unacceptable.
The
committee in a statement signed by its convener, Bishop Hassan Mathew
Kukah., condemned the apparent desperation for power exhibited by some
political actors.
The group noted that what transpired during the
inauguration of the 8th Senate neither dignified the upper chamber of
the parliament nor represents the yearning and aspiration of Nigerians.
The committee played a pivotal role in ensuring a peaceful 2015 general elections.
The
group facilitated a peace pact between former President Goodluck
Jonathan and his then challenger President Muhammadu Buhari to douse the
tension ahead of the general elections.
