Nigerian Senate president, Bukola Saraki, on Friday, October 14, said that he has been vindicated by the recent outburst of Mrs Aisha Buhari over the leadership of her husband.

Saraki said the fact that Buhari's wife could come out to openly express reservations about her husband's appointees showed that his earlier argument that the government had been hijacked, was in good faith.On June 27, 2016, the Senate president alleged that there is a government within President Muhammadu Buhari's government using their executive powers to persecute the leadership of the Senate.

Saraki's comments were disclosed by a tweet posted by his media aide, Bamikole Omisore, on Friday morning.
