President Muhammadu Buhari will be a major determinant in who becomes the next head of the Senate and chairman of the National Assembly, a member of the upper legislative chamber, Ovie Omo-Agege, said on Wednesday, March 6.

Omo-Agege who represents Delta Central senatorial district, said this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Warri, Delta state. The senator said the Buhari and the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) would avoid the 2015 mistake that led to the emergence of Sen. Bukola Saraki as the president of the Senate.
‘‘Anybody who is going to be Senate president, in the 9th Senate, must be somebody who is loyal to Mr President, the party and the constitution. ‘‘The Senate president will be determined by Mr President. Mr President will indicate to us through the party who he want to work with,’’ Omo-Agege said.

He claimed he was not aware if the APC had zoned the position of the Senate president to any region of the country. "But what I can tell you is that we are going to have a Senate that will work with Mr President. "The era of allowing renegades who rode on the back of Mr President, who rode on the back of the party to go in there and trade the party’s mandate, I think that era is gone.

"I am very hopeful that this time around, Mr President will step in and decide not only the zone that will produce the Senate president and the leadership but also who should be. "We don’t want to erect another opposition leader in the Senate, as we had in the 8th Assembly. "There are a lot of us in the Senate who are returning to the next senate who fits into that position.

We are so many but any decision the president makes, we will all fall in line and abide. ”We want President Buhari to succeed and it is all in our place, some of us who are close to him, to tell him certain calls he should not make because we know ourselves in the National Assembly and we do not want a repeat of the Saraki saga as we go back to the ninth Senate." he said.

Thé same way he decided for Saraki ?

..These people have refused to learn.

He will be from the region Buhari trust.

OK o

Nonsensical

Then we are expecting a Northerner no doubt about that!

The Senate is supposed to put the Executive in check but rather some people want to be ass lickers for what? Why should a President get to choose the next senate president? Where in the world does that happen?
This defeats the concept of Separation of power, President Buhari has been given way too much leverage, He wields too much power and does not respect the rule of law, A man that does not respect the Constitution of the country that he presides over and now you’re giving him power over the Senate too? God help us all

This is good news, we don't want any bastard thief to come and ruin next level for us abeg, the executive and legislative must be in sync, so that bills that would favour Nigeria will be passed at the speed of light. Sai Baba is a goaaaal jare. I know my comments put ipob and PDP mumus in sifia pains, I take a huge pride in that.

Naija done finally finish

So them legislators go just submit to executive full time. Turn buhari whores just like that. Men i no like saraki but this statement just make me regard the man; atleast he do good small before he was defeated

Next level madness. Chai nawa for this country o

What an ignorant statement. Law maker that doesn’t understand the law.


Zombism is really the beginning of stupidity.

So we'll be having a rubberstamp senate? Why are these APC idiots always eager on pushing Nigeria to the path of dictatorship.

Shameless macerunner.

We cant afford to have puppets as legislators pls. God why? does this slowpoke know about separation of power? I thought its only the northerners that produce politicians that don't know left & right. well maybe its one of the effect of rigging

Opposition leader in the Senate indeed

And Buhari is a senator of the federal republic? See the idiocy a supposed learned southerner is displaying? If not for the stupidity of the president, a "mace thief" man of Omo-Agege kind that commit a democratic sacrilege should have long been in prison.

This man don't deserve to be a senate president, so the executive should control everything.

this sounds very ignorant and stupid. the legislature is an independent arm of government.

I give up on this nation
Imagine what is coming out from the mouth of an educated senator

For a nation to grow with the speed of light

The legislative arm, the judiciary and the executive can not be friends

Any how this useless Omo agege should choose the thunder that will fire him or else Nigerians will choose for him
Stupid man

Omo-agege, the man with balls of steel. If they were to leave him and Saraki in one room to settle their differences, Saraki would have been in a coma by now.

But you and I know that Buhari does not even know anything.

He does not even remember the function of a Senate President.

How can he appoint one??

I see Tinubu appointing a Yoruba senate president.

This senate will be a stooge of the executive

There are certain things u hear about Nigeria and u regret being called a Nigerian.

This is one of them.

Chain! Rubber stamp chambers loading..... never liked Saraki dynasty but he ensured the senate was not a rubber stamp chamber. Naija get ready for tough level .

Too many slaves in Nigeria!
What da Bleep!!!!

From O to ge to O daku.

Toor. These people are just there. They are bunch of confused people. Imagine this nonsensical saying from this man who doesn't even know how he found his way into the senate. They just keep disgracing us everyday.

OMO AGEGE AND ALI NDUME ARE THE MOST FITABLES 4 D JOB

I corrected your mistake.

Not only Buhari, Saraki has taught Whoever becomes Nigeria president to be careful in choosing Whoever are going to be leaders in the both chambers.

So the head of the executive will choose /determine who leads the legislature

And took out the CJN in controversial circumstances


God , whatever this useless country did to offend you, please forgive us and restore sense back to the people.

what a country
