President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva announced this Thursday, the 17th, Senator Otto Alencar (PSD-BA) as the next leader of the federal government in the Senate, taking the place of Jaques Wagner (PT-BA).
“I have already chosen Comrade Otto to succeed Jacques Wagner in leading the government in the Senate,” Lula said, alongside senators, at an event in Bahia. “Because Otto was an outstanding companion in our government.”
The PT member joked during the announcement of the departure of the current leader of the government in the Federal Senate. The announcement was made at an education announcement ceremony in Bahia this Thursday.
“Wagner will have to leave to have an operation on his foot because he wants to play the ball again after Bahia gets better,” Lula said. “He wants to see if he can play again.”
