The Senate Majority and Minority Leaders are two Nigerian Senators who are elected by the party caucuses that hold the majority and the minority respectively. These leaders serve as the chief Senate spokespeople for their parties and manage and schedule the legislative and executive business of the Senate. By rule, the Presiding Officer gives the Majority Leader priority in obtaining recognition to speak on the floor of the Senate. The Majority Leader customarily serves as the chief representative of his or her party in Senate, and sometimes even in all of Congress if the House of Representatives and thus the office of Speaker of the House is controlled by the opposition party.

The Senate Majority and Minority Whips are the second-ranking members of the party leadership of the Nigerian Senate. The main function of the Majority and Minority Whips is to gather votes on major issues. Because he or she is the second ranking member of the Senate, if there is no floor leader present, the whip may become acting floor leader.

Why are u wasting ur breath, most of these children have neva bothered to read the Constitution not to mention house rules.

Even people i once tot were intelligent have been describing Sen. Mark as Senate Leader and argue to high heavens when u try to correct them that there is no such post that he is the Senate Leader of PDP & APGA (Minority Leader) while the Majority Leader will be chosen by APC Caucus.
