Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The forum of ex-House of Representatives members who are now Senators-elect has not endorsed any candidate for the position of Senate President.<\/p>\n

The Convener, Ahmed Wadada (SDP-Nasarawa West), spoke to reporters after a meeting with members of the body in Abuja on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Wadada, to represent Nasarawa-West Senatorial District in the 10th Senate, said the forum was yet to decide the incoming leadership.<\/p>\n

The politician explained that the parley was convened to reunite for the good of the country, despite their political affiliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are about 26 members of the forum. This gives us a good bloc for us to come together with that sportsmanship we had while in the house of representatives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Wada listed Senate President Ahmad Lawan, Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal, Senator Abdul Ningi, among members of the forum.<\/p>\n

In attendance were Senate Chief Whip Orji Kalu, Senator Seriake Dickson (PDP-Bayelsa), Ned Nwoko (PDP \u2013 Delta North), and Mohammed Onawo (PDP \u2013 Nasarawa South).<\/p>\n

The rest were Tony Nwoye (LP \u2013 Anambra North), Emmanuel Udende (APC \u2013 Benue), Karimi Sunday (APC \u2013 Kogi), Osita Izunaso (APC \u2013 Imo), Nasir Sani (APC \u2013 Katsina), Ibrahim Khalid (PDP \u2013 Kaduna).<\/p>\n
