Buhari To Decide Next Senate President For Us – Omo-agege

member of the upper legislative
chamber, Ovie Omo-Agege, said on
Wednesday, March 6.
Omo-Agege who represents Delta
Central senatorial district, said this
while speaking with the News Agency
of Nigeria (NAN) in Warri, Delta
state. The senator said the Buhari
and the ruling All Progressive
Congress (APC) would avoid the
2015 mistake that led to the
emergence of Sen. Bukola Saraki as
the president of the Senate.
‘‘Anybody who is going to be Senate
president, in the 9th Senate, must be
somebody who is loyal to Mr
President, the party and the
constitution. ‘‘The Senate president
will be determined by Mr President.
Mr President will indicate to us
through the party who he want to
work with,’’ Omo-Agege said.
He claimed he was not aware if the
APC had zoned the position of the
Senate president to any region of the
country. “But what I can tell you is
that we are going to have a Senate
that will work with Mr President. “The
era of allowing renegades who rode
on the back of Mr President, who
rode on the back of the party to go
in there and trade the party’s
mandate, I think that era is gone.
“I am very hopeful that this time
around, Mr President will step in and
decide not only the zone that will
produce the Senate president and the
leadership but also who should be.
“We don’t want to erect another
opposition leader in the Senate, as
we had in the 8th Assembly. “There
are a lot of us in the Senate who are
returning to the next senate who fits
into that position.
We are so many but any decision the
president makes, we will all fall in
line and abide. ”We want President
Buhari to succeed and it is all in our
place, some of us who are close to
him, to tell him certain calls he
should not make because we know
ourselves in the National Assembly
and we do not want a repeat of the
Saraki saga as we go back to the
ninth Senate.” he said.
