Bamidele: PDP Alone Cannot Determine Minority Leaders


New Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, has clarified that no single political party had the sole right to determine the minority leadership positions in the 10th Senate because apart from the ruling APC, six other parties 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.
