Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has
declared that Senate President Bukola Saraki has never supported President
Muhammmau Buhari in the Senate.
The lawmaker stated that Saraki
usually worked against all matters that had to do with the President.
He, however, insisted that the
defection of the former Kwara governor would not affect the APC.
Omo-Agege spoke at an event in
Emevor, Ughelli South local government area of Delta State.
In attendance were APC National
Chairman Adams Oshiomhole, Delta State APC Chairman, Jones Ode Erue and a party
chieftain Great Ogboru.
“Defections are bound to happen,
mostly at this season. Those who left went to their natural habitat. These are
people who had never supported President Mohammadu Buhari, especially in the
Senate”, Nation quoted Omo-Agege as saying.
“We are glad that they have gone,
so you can see that those who are left now are those who will champion the
cause of Buhari. We are not and have never regretted that they have gone, it
gives us an insight to know the true APC members in the house.”
On which party holds the majority
in the Senate he said “All I can tell you is that APC has 52 senators, PDP has
49, ADC 2, APGA 2 and there are two vacancies.
“Those two vacancies will be
filled on the 11th of this month and those elections are going to be held in
our party (APC) stronghold; Katsina and Bauchi states. Even without those two
seats, APC commands majority in the senate.
“With respect to the senate
president, he knows or he ought to know that the right thing for him to do is
to step down. There is no way he can continue to lead the senate when he now
belongs to the minority party and he knows that.
“I will tell you that as they are
leaving APC, we also have people from PDP who are also coming, especially what
is happening in Kwara State. While those in APC are going to PDP, those in PDP
left to APC”.
