Mr Bamidele also said with the leadership of the Senate in place, it will soon screen the service chiefs appointed by President Bola Tinubu on 19 June.
Mr Bamidele said this on Tuesday while briefing journalists after he emerged as the senate leader.
“For us, the next task is to ensure we hit the ground running so that from tomorrow, we are able to take steps that will show that we have a clear understanding of what is to be done. “We are ready to attend to correspondence from the executive. Through the committee of the whole of the house, we will commence with the confirmation hearing of the service chiefs and some other appointees who had been named by the President.”
“But of course, the emergence of the remaining principal officers of the 10th Senate was not an issue that was meant to be decided on the floor.“Rather, it was an issue which, on the one hand, as related to the All Progressives Party , needed to be decided among the critical stakeholders of the party. This was what led to the emergence of the officers.
