From NLC President To Senate President : ” Senate Rules” And Adams Oshiomhole’s Call For SP
The magnificence of the approaching organization is that it addresses a new beginning towards another arrangement of administration. It is a new dawn of new faces across the majority of states, from the presidential villa to the national assembly.
This indicates new hope and a breath of fresh air; No two people are the same, so the incoming administration would operate very independently of the status quo, regardless of whether you accept that it is a DEFAULT SYSTEM doctrine.
Nigerians have high expectations for the person who will lead the 10th NASS, despite the fact that the battle and intense lobbying for principal positions in the National Assembly have begun in earnest across political parties.
Outside of the geopolitical region, everyone is talking about who is eligible to run for the senate presidency. This debate is especially hot right now because the contest is unique.
Several people have argued that only a ranking senator can take on the role of Senate President in accordance with the rules of the Senate, but others have said that this is not true.
Before we begin on our conversation of the present likely possibility for the tenth Senate president, I need to suggest an expository conversation starter:
What would you have said if someone had told you 12 years ago that the NASS would have a senate president from one political party and a deputy senate president from another political party, as was the case with Ekweremadu of the PDP and Saraki of the APC?
However, the “infamous” Senate rule that states it excludes first-time applicants may have been drafted for a specific purpose and for a specific group of people in a specific time frame.
A list of all Senate Presidents from 1960 to the present clearly demonstrates that, if such a rule ever existed, it was certain to serve a narrow, self-centered purpose.
The complete list of all Senate Presidents, from independence to the present, can be found here.
1 Nnamdi Azikiwe was the SP under the NCNC in 1960. 2 Dennis Osadebay was the SP under the NCNC from 1960 to 1963.
3 Nwafor Orizu was a member of the NCNC from 1963 to 1966; 4 Joseph Wayas was a member of the NPN from 1979 to 1983; 5 Iyorchia Ayu was a member of the SDP from 1992 to 1993; 6 Ameh Ebute was a member of the SDP from 1993 to 1999; 7 Evan Enwerem was a member of the PDP from 1999 to 2000; 8 Chuba Okadigbo was a member of the
10 Adolphus Wabara led the PDP from 2003 to 2005; 11 Ken Nnamani led the PDP from 2005 to 2007; 12 David Mark led the PDP from 2007 to 2015; 7 Bukola Saraki led the APC from 2015 to 2019; 14 Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan leads the APC as Senate President from 2019 to the present.
Presently, from the above list: They were all novices, from the first Senate President, Nnamdi Azikiwe, to the ninth, Anyim Pius Anyim. Accordingly, considering that 9 of the 14 Senate Presidents in the past were novices, what is the reasoning behind the alleged Senate rule?
If, by chance, the 109 senatorial districts in the current senate elected new senators, what would happen?
Maybe they could never have had a Senate President, or could they have passed another regulation? Thus, as may be obvious, in the event that a standing standard of such a nature were to be executed, it would be for a specific neighborhood objective, in particular, the disappointment of certain competitors at a particular time.
Why is Adams Oshiomhole being considered for the position of 10th Senate President?
What else do Nigerians want besides prosperity? Other than the rule of law and fair play, what else do they expect? The center of’s Nigerians will probably reside in a nation where legitimacy works for everybody and solid organizations safeguard the powerless.
Since he was 17 years old, Oshiomhole has been fighting on behalf of the masses as a certified freedom fighter. He rose to conspicuousness battling for the freedoms of laborers and the average person who has nobody to pay special attention to him.
The ruling party, the APC, will elect the next Senate President, and the party and its president-elect require a NASS that is fully committed to its vision and ideas for moving the country forward is a fact that will never be disputed.
Thankfully, Oshiomhole matches the card; The APC Presidential Campaign Council’s Deputy Director General exemplifies performance and competence; The people need Oshiomhole’s pro-labor views just the way they need them.
As leader of the Senate, he wouldn’t just accelerate the administration’s conveyance of the unavoidably ensured profit of a majority rules government, however he would likewise be an advantage to the general population, who admire supportive of individuals strategies that guarantee their security.
To an impressive degree, the Senate likewise oversees the confidential area by guaranteeing that their corporate presence is gainful to individuals and host networks.
The majority of public and private agencies, under Adams Oshiomhole’s leadership, would realize that their primary responsibilities are to meet the reasonable expectations of the public, and Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, the former president of the NLC, is best positioned to safeguard those interests.
He will undoubtedly ensure that the APC is well protected and continues its legislative work as a former National Chairman.
At the end of the day, his political decision as SP would help both the political world class, as addressed by the APC, and the overall population, who might have the option to relax realizing that their advantages are being safeguarded by the public authority’s authoritative branch. Nigerians would benefit from this scenario.
Nigerians do not require trial and error at this point; The opportunity to transform the nation should only be given to trustworthy, dedicated individuals.
The truth is that the Senate Presidency has been open to all since 1960 and will not change today. When the rain does fall, it will touch everyone.
What I see is an excursion of a committed energetic Nigerian from NLC President to Senate President, and I accept history will be caring to Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole.
