 The new Senate leader, Senator Ukemi Bami Dele, has stated that a single political party cannot determine the principal office holders of the Senate. Bami Dele said the emergence of the principal officers was not Ron Curris, as he maintained that stakeholders came together to fill the minority leadership positions. This is an unusual situation and it shows again the growth of our democracy and the dynamics of our policy. Roads of Nigerians are beginning to count more than ever before and we are beginning to see a situation where no party, no party again can say or boast that even if we bring a growth, we grow to win, as we used to hear in the past. Today we have a situation where seven political parties are the vehicles through which people came to the Senate. Of course, once you step into the right chamber, you are Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as we always say, it will not matter which party brought you. But for the purpose of constituting the leadership, our rules still recognize the fact that our political parties will have a role to play. So if you have six minority parties acting as vehicles that brought people to the Senate and you're not looking for a letter, which of the parties will not write a letter? It doesn't matter how many people are in PDP. It remains a minority party, just like YPP or ABDA, in 21 senators who came in on that vehicle, on that platform. Basically, what was most important was not democracy, was for all 50 of them to meet as minorities and take their decisions. The heads of meetings, they were deadlocked and it wasn't for us to look into what they were doing. Members of the Opposition People's Democratic Party PDP had accused Senate President Gotswold Abiyo of not honoring the list for minority leadership it sent.
