The immediate past President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has lauded the media for remaining professional and objective even when pressured.
The former Kwara state governor, who spoke briefly when he hosted media personalities and various other groups to an Iftar dinner at his GRA residence in Ilorin, said it’s not an easy thing to speak truth to power, especially when such is not in favour of the government of the day.
Saraki has been in Kwara for about a week, having decided to spend the last ten days of the Ramadan fasting in Ilorin.
In the spirit of Ramadan, he has since been playing host to several groups, including religious and community leaders, political groups as well as professional associations in Kwara.
