    How We Lobbied To Get South West Devt Commission Bill Passed – Sen. Bamidele

    Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, the Senate Leader, has revealed how he aligned with his fellow senators from the South West and they reached out to others from other parts of the country to ensure the passage of the South West Development Commission (SWDC)Bill.

    Bamidele also disclosed that lawmakers from the South-west APC “have been a formidable force, contributing significantly to the progress and stability of the National Assembly.”

    He spoke at the 2024 South-west Assembly of the All Progressives Congress, APC held at Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos on Saturday.

    The lawmaker explained how the South-West Caucus worked with federal lawmakers from other geo-political zones to secure majority support for the passage of the South West Development Commission Bill, 2024 at the upper chamber

    He said: “We are now awaiting concurrence from the House of Representatives before transmitting it to the President for assent. We recognise that our success is not limited to members of the APC alone. Our colleagues from other political parties have been just as committed to the success of our region.

    “This bill, and many others, reminds us that when it comes to the development of our people, there is no room for division. We must continue to work together to achieve more.

    “We have stood firmly with the leadership of the National Assembly, especially when plots were being hatched to bring the leadership to disrepute.

    “The South West Caucus remains a stabilising force in the Senate. Our zone has also received fair recognition in the leadership of the Senate.”

     I am honoured to serve as the Senate Leader, while in the House of Representatives, we occupy the Chief Whip’s seat and other high-ranking positions.

    “This extends to key committee leadership roles, which further amplifies our influence in national decision-making.

    “We gave expeditious attention to the screening of the President’s nominees for various political positions, demonstrating our collective desire for the quick implementation of his transformative policies. We will continue to support his reforms as he steers the country towards prosperity and stability.”
