Sen. Bamidele now Senate Majority Leader; Ndume, Umahi, others get principal officer roles

Akpabio after welcoming colleagues said the APC caucus of the senate after due consultation has emerged with their leadership.

Continuing with his welcome address Akpabio said, “The normal challenges facing our dear country are very open before all of us and so as we resume today it is to work with the aim of stabilising the entire country and the current administration of President Bola Tinubu to ensure rapid economic growth which he has shown so far in less than 20 days in office.

“It is against this backdrop that I call on all senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by extension the entirety of the National Assembly to work together closely and collaboratively with our citizens before any other premordial sentiments or agenda.

“At an aupiscious time like this the country has entrusted us with the responsibility of law making, oversight functions and representations at all levels to shape the policies and making laws and legislations that will impact positively on the lives of our people and think about renewed hope and the birth of a new Nigeria.
