As the race for the president of the 10th Senate gathers steam, Senator Osita Izunaso has promised to rebrand the red chamber and lead the National Assembly in fulfilling the yearnings of Nigerians for renewed hope.
The Imo-West senator-elect who disclosed this in a chat in Lagos said he has acquired quality education and legislative experiences in both the lower and upper chambers to lead the National Assembly.
While noting that he is the youngest among the aspirants from the South, Izunaso, who is a former national organising secretary of the APC, said he is the most ranked as he was first elected into the House of Representatives in 2003 and later into the Senate in 2007.
“I have the experience, education, character, and integrity to lead the Senate to fulfill the Renewed Hope mantra of the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. That is why I have adopted the mantra ‘Hope Assured’. Nigerians need to start having trust in the National Assembly and I am that man who stands out with a proven record of integrity, patriotism, and loyalty,” he said.

The lawmaker also faulted claims that the South East didn’t support the APC in the 2023 election.
“It is a faulty argument. The data on the ground shows that APC is the ruling party in the South East. APC has 2 governors while LP, PDP, and APGA have one each. APC is also well-represented in the National Assembly. Out of the 15 senators from the zone, APC has 6; LP 6 while PDP, APGA, and YPP have one each.
“APC is making gains while PDP has been diminished in the South East; so, with the right support, the APC will take over the zone,” he said.
