PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon Debo Ologunagba, Friday said Senator Aduda’s emergence underscores the confidence of the party and his colleagues in the Senate in his long-standing legislative experience.
The opposition party expressed hope and charged Senator Aduda to use the attributes that earned him the position to strengthen his commitment as a strong voice for the independence of the legislature.
It urged the newly-appointed Senate Minority leader to continue to uphold the democratic tenets of the Rule of Law and protect the interest and wellbeing of the people.
The statement partly read, “Senator Aduda’s selection as the Minority Leader of the Senate could not have come at a better time than this when Nigerians are looking up to the PDP to salvage our nation from the misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“The PDP urges Senator Aduda to put in all his effort to ensure that our Party’s Caucus in the National Assembly remains united and focused for the task ahead.
“Our party wishes Senator Aduda success as he leads our Caucus in the Senate”.
