Ovie Omo-Agege, Senator Representing Delta Central, has vowed that no one remotely connected with the senate president, Bukola Saraki will be allowed into the leadership of the 9th Senate.

Senator Omo-Agege, who was once suspended by Saraki’s leadership, lamented that for almost three of the four years of Buhari’s first four years, those he termed as Saraki’s relegates regime made sure all agenda of the government were shot down.
According to him, this was necessary to avert a repeat of events of the out-going Assembly, where the agenda of the All Progressive Congress (APC) was truncated due to the Saraki factor.

Omo-Agege maintained that the APC leaders were determined to ensure that there was no repeat, and that the only way to do that was to ensure that President Buhari, as leader of APC, would consult with the party’s caucus on who should emerge Senate President.

While saying there was no time he said that Buhari would handpick the next Senate President and other principal officers for the Ninth National Assembly, he also said he had not told anyone that he would run for the Senate Presidency.

“For that reason, we are saying, it is the party’s caucus that will meet in consultation with Mr President and decide and recommend for the leadership position. And Mr President is the head of that caucus. We’ll no longer allow relegates to govern the National Assembly. When they did the last time, you saw what happened,” he stressed.

The lawmaker said though he was as qualified as any other ranking senator to be Senate President, “I have not told anybody that I am interested in running for the Senate Presidency. But, having said that, I am just as qualified as any other ranking senator of the Ninth Senate.

“So, when the time comes, depending on the decision made by the caucus of the party – Mr President and other relevant stakeholders – and depending on where it is zoned to. After the zoning, we consult ourselves and complied with the rules.”
