The
senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege
says President Muhammadu Buhari will be actively involved in the process of
selecting the next leader of the Senate.
Speaking
to the News Agency of Nigeria in Warri, Omo-Agege said the
President and the ruling All Progressives Congress would avoid the 2015 mistake
that led to the emergence of Senator 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 wants to work with,’’ Omo-Agege said.
The
ruling APC is set to produce the next Senate president after winning the
majority seats at the upper legislative chamber in the February 23 election.
Asked
if the APC has zoned the Senate presidency to any geopolitical zone, the
lawmaker said ‘‘I do not know.’’
‘‘But
what I can tell you is that we are going to have a Senate that will work with
Mr President.
