Okorocha Wants Senate To Make Laws For Buhari

Senator Rochas Okorocha, representing Imo west senatorial district, has called on the ninth senate to make laws that align with President Muhammadu Buhari’s plan for Nigerians.

Okorocha made the call during Thursday’s plenary session of the Nigerian Senate.

The former Imo state governor was contributing to the report of the ad-hoc committee on the 9th Senate legislative agenda which was considered on the floor of the red chamber on Thursday.

Senator Adamu Aliero, representing Kebbi central senatorial district of Kebbi State, had submitted the report to the upper legislative chamber.

Okorocha said, “The Senate’s agenda should be about the people and nothing but the people. There must be team work between the arms of government; our laws must change; our styles must change. We have to adopt a new method in approaching issues in this country.

“We must ask Mr. President what he wants for Nigeria so we can make laws in that direction. We have to as a nation understand that all is not well with our country, the country will have faith in this Senate if we imbibe the spirit of sacrifice.

“Our agenda must include the devolution of power especially to address the issue of insecurity,” said the senator.

THE WHISTLER had earlier reported that agriculture and insecurity topped the recommendations made by senators that contributed on areas that should receive priority in the 9th senate’s legislative agenda.
