During a special plenary to mark the first anniversary of the 8th Senate on Thursday, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, received glowing reviews from his colleagues.
Saraki received pass marks for his leadership style and his ability to marshal the conduct of affairs in the upper legislative chambers.
Condemnation was also heaped on the Senate President's ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT); with the Senators describing it as an act of injustice.
Speaking, Saraki's deputy at the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu of the PDP, congratulated the Senate President.
Ekweremadu told Saraki: "I congratulate you because of what you stood for. You have shown that you are the true apostle of the independence of the parliament.
"Over the past 365 days, you have been buffeted from all directions. Your past has been x-rayed, your present has been monitored and your future has been gazed at because you stand on the path of the independence of the parliament to elect leaders.
"I want to thank you because you have been resilient in spite of all these.
"You have shown that you are a patriot. You have extended hands of fellowship and cooperation to everybody in spite of all the challenges."
Saraki's close comrade in the Senate, Dino Melaye, also commended him for remaining "focused, un-rattled, principled, not perturbed, not worried and intellectually mobile" in leading the Senate.
