Assembly on Thursday.This was contained in a three paragraph statement signed by the party’s National Secretary, Alhaji Mai Mala Buni, in Abuja.
The statement partly read, “The party stands by the list of the party to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“The National Caucus, the Board of Trustees and the National Executive Council of the party will meet within the next few days to discuss the evolving developments in the National Assembly.”
The party had in an earlier letter to the Senate, named Senator Ahmed Lawan from the North-East, as Senate Majority Leader and Senator George Akume from the North-Central as Deputy Majority Leader.
It also named Senator Sola Adeyeye from the South-West as the Chief Whip while Senator Abu Ibrahim was named as the party’s choice for the position of the Deputy Chief Whip.
However, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, ignored the party’s position and mandated zonal caucuses in the Senate to choose those they wished to represent them for the positions zoned to them.
At the end of the exercise, Senator Ali Ndume (North- East) emerged as Majority Leader of the Senate, and Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah (North-West) emerged as Deputy Senate Leader.
The South-South caucus adopted Senator France Alimikhena as the deputy whip. The Senate President was silent on the office of the Chief Whip.webgist.blogspot.com
