In his reaction, Senator Jibrin Barau who commended Oshiomhole for standing and embracing the decison of the party as a true partyman, said, “I thank our former Chairman and Senator-Elect, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. He was the one who worked for the emergence of the incumbent Senate President, Ahmed Lawan and now that he has joined the Stability Group, we are home and dry.
