Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Saturday visited Asaba, Delta State to consult with the State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa on his aspirations for the 2019 general elections.
Saraki, who came in company of other senators including Dino Melaye and Peter Nwaoboshi spent about 45 minutes in a closed door with Okowa at the Government House.
The Senate President, who later addressed newsmen after the meeting, said he was in the state to consult with the governor, particularly now that he had rejoined the Peoples Democratic Party.
He described Okowa as a capable and competent colleague who worked closely with him in the senate for four years.
Saraki said: “I spent four years with a very capable and competent colleague (Okowa) in the Senate.
“We worked very closely together and I have come to spend some time with him and to hear his views now that I have rejoined the PDP.
“Governor Okowa is a very important party member, he is someone I truly respect and I have come to listen to him, hear his views and to consult with him.’’
He commended the level of development going on in the state in the past three years, adding that the governor had impacted the people of the state through physical and manpower development programmes.
He said: “There is a lot of development in the state and this is what we want to see in most of our states.’’
The Senate President, however, said that he was not losing sleep about the rumour of his impeachment when the senate reconvenes.
Saraki said: “I am not losing any sleep about impeachment; we have a country that a lot of Nigerians believe there must be rule of law, those who are talking about impeachment are engaging in cheap blackmail and I am not concerned about that.”
On why he left the All Progressives Congress, Saraki said that he already had a four page statement on the issue.
He said: “I have made a four page statement on why I left the APC and I made it very clear that the ideas and visions of what we expected, was not realised in the areas of democracy, justice, and so on.
“Those that followed the political terrain of the last three years can see that the people are not happy, it is not about me but about Nigerians and about the kind of country we want to build.
“It is the  kind of democracy we want to practice and the kind of leadership we need, but, we have not been able to achieve any of this under the APC as much as we have tried.’’
