 10th senate - New leaders emerge as Bamidele becomes new senate leader and Mwadkwon, minority leader.



Ndume, Umahi, others got principal officers position.

APC NWC has no hand in choices, Adamu explains.

President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, yesterday, named Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, an All Progressives Congress (APC) member representing Ekiti Central, as Senate Leader for the 10th National Assembly. Akpabio announced the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator for Plateau North Senatorial District, Senator Simon Davou Mwadkwon, as Minority Leader.

Other principal officers of the senate proclaimed by Akpabio included Senator Dave Umahi (APC, Ebonyi South), Deputy Majority Leader; Senator Ali Ndume (APC, Borno South), Chief Whip; and Senator Lola Ashiru (APC, Kwara South), Deputy Whip.

The senate dissolved into a closed session after Akpabio read out the names of the principal officers for the majority caucus.

At the resumption of plenary, Akpabio said, “The majority of members of the Senate Minority Caucus of the Senate made up of seven political parties have come up with their leadership.

“They are Senator Simon Davou Mwadkwon as the Minority Leader; Senator Lere Oyewumi (PDP, Osun West) Deputy Minority Leader; Senator Darlington Nwokocha (LP, Abia Central) as the Minority Whip; Senator Rufai Hanga (NNPP, Kano Central), as the Deputy Minority Whip.”

‘PDP Alone Cannot Determine Minority Leaders’

New Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele said no single political party could solely determine the minority leadership positions in the 10th Senate because six of them had elected members.

Bamidele said the emergence of the principal officers was not rancorous. He maintained that stakeholders came together to fill the minority leadership positions.

The senate leader said, “The minority caucus leadership positions was not entirely a decision that one single political party could determine because more than one political party is involved in the 10th Senate.

“Thirty-eight out of the 50 minority caucus members approved the appointment of the minority principal officers after due consultations with relevant stakeholders.

“The minority caucus also had a matured discussion at an executive plenary session, where they jointly agreed on the principal officers positions and approved the announcement by the senate president.”

Bamidele dismissed insinuations that both the majority and minority leadership positions were sent from the presidency.

  ECOWAS: Tinubu Not Responsible For The Exit Of Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger - Bwala - Politics - Nairaland The withdrawal of the three West African nations from @ecowas_cedeao ECOWAS has nothing to do with @officialABAT President Tinubu’s leadership or lack thereof as it is peddled by naysayers . It has everything to do with the dynamics of proxy trade conflicts between @GovernmentRF Russia/China and the NATO. @NATO Nigeria is not at war with both blocs, so we are good and President Tinubu would find a path for lasting peace in ECOWAS. Let’s focus on our nation and together as a people we would find solutions to our age long problems. Make dem dey there dey and make we dey our dey.
