Nigeria’s Deputy Senate
President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege (APC Delta Central), has declared that he has
no ill-feelings against any senator on what transpired in the 8th Senate.
Omo-Agege who stated this in his
Asokoro residence Abuja at a media briefing on Monday, said the 8th Senate had
passed away, hence, the focus now is for all serving Senators in the recently
inaugurated 9th National Assembly to improve the wellbeing and welfare of
ordinary Nigerians through required legislative interventions.
“Like all phases of life, 8th
Senate has come and gone, making all that happened then, history now”.
“I begrudge nobody over any issue
in the 8th Senate. Even the election that brought me in as Deputy President of
the 9th Senate last week has closed the chapter of the 8th Senate as far as
partisan issues were concerned.
“At the inauguration on the day
of the election, there were 62 APC Senators, 44 PDP and 1 YPP, meaning that the
68 votes I got, cut across party lines.
“With such bipartisan or
multi-partisan confidence reposed in one, the era of partisanship is gone. I will
assist the President of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Ahmad Lawan in making
the Senate and by extension, the National Assembly for the benefit of all
Nigerians “, he said.
He added that the Senate will
flow with the next level agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari .
He said: ” We shall give the
required collaboration to the executive arm of government and help in putting
in place the needed enabling environment for execution of the next level
agenda.”
He commended the executive arm of
government for their focus in offering services to Nigerians.
