Deputy President of the Senate Ovie Omo-Agege has said the Senate would do all in its powers to ensure that President Muhammadu Buhari delivered on his next level agenda to Nigerians in the next four years.
Omo-Agege stated this Friday while receiving a delegation of the Abraka Progressive Union at the National Assembly, Abuja.
According to him, the upper legislative chamber would focus on providing legislation that would create an enabling environment for President Buhari’s government to record all-round success at the end of his tenure in office.
He also said the commitment by the Senate “in this direction stems from its bi-partisan approach which led to the emergence of the leadership of the National Assembly.”
He said, “We’ve started on a bi-partisan note. We had only 62 APC senators on the floor during the elections, and we had 68 votes, meaning we got support from the opposition party in the Senate.
“So, working with everybody, we will work with the President to create and enabling environment for his administration to succeed.”
“I know there are lots of expectations from out Nigerians, but we will do our best to provide leadership to deliver the dividends of democracy to our people.
Earlier, leader of the delegation, Dr. Ben Eruotor, said the reason for the visit was to felicitate with him on his emergence as Deputy President of the Senate.
He said it was an honour for the Urhobo, who are the 5th largest ethnic group in Nigeria, to produce the first Deputy President of the Senate from the South-south region of the country.
