The presidential aide said that Buhari will maintain a neutral position in the election of the next Senate boss by senators.

He said: “President Muhammadu Buhari is a man of high principles. His stand on this matter is that each arm of government should function according to what the constitution says, and that every person in government should do the right thing, and that he will not go beyond what the constitution allows him and that every other arm of government should stick to their constitutional responsibilities."

Concerning claims that there are special and favoured senators in the Senate, Enang said: “There is no elected lawmaker that is a greenhorn. They are equal before the law. They were elected to represent their constituencies on the basis of equality of all Nigerians.

“Therefore, they are entitled to all privileges and wisdom. Some of them are coming with extra wisdom and knowledge from their different backgrounds. So, we expect a robust legislature. We give them all the respect, we value them, we welcome them and treasure them.

"The executive respects them across party lines. For the executive, every senator or member of the House of Representatives, irrespective of their political party, is a legislator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and they are treated equally whether you are doing your first, second or fifth term because you have one seat and one vote.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the senators of the All Progressives Congress (APC) might have chosen Senator Ahmad Lawan (Yobe state) as the next Senate president.

Legit.ng gathered that the presidency was not likely to be averse to his choice, considering how he was the party’s preferred choice as Senate president in June 2015.
