By focusing on the provision of legislations that will create an enabling environment, the Senate will help President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to achieve an all-round success at the end of his tenure.

The Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, made this known on Friday as he assured that the Senate would do all within its power to make Buhari deliver on his next level agenda to Nigerians.

According to his Chief Press Secretary, Ezrel Tabiowo, in a statement, Omo-Agege gave the assurance to help Buhari achieve success when he received a delegation of the Abraka Progressive Union at the National Assembly, Abuja.

The senator stated that the commitment by the Senate in that direction stemmed from its bi-partisan approach which led to the emergence of the leadership of the National Assembly.

His words:  “We’ve started on a bi-partisan note. We had only 62 APC senators on the floor during the elections, and we had 68 votes, meaning we got support from the opposition party in the Senate.

“So working with everybody, we will work with the President to create and enabling environment for his administration to succeed.

“I know there are lots of expectations from Nigerians, but we will do our best to provide leadership to deliver the dividends of democracy to our people.”

Earlier, leader of the delegation, Dr. Ben Eruotor, said the reason for the visit to Omo-Agege was to felicitate with him on his emergence as Deputy President of the Senate.

He noted that it was an honour for the Urhobos, who he described as the 5th largest ethnic group in Nigeria, to produce the first Deputy President of the Senate from the South-South region of the country.
