Poor attendance as Ekweremadu presides over Wednesday’s plenary
Senators
largely of the All Progressives Congress stayed away from Wednesday’s
sitting as Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu presides over
plenary.
Ekweremadu is presiding over today’s sitting as the
Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki has traveled to Ikenne in Ogun State
to attend the burial ceremony of Mama H.I. D Awolowo which was scheduled
to take place today.
It was observed that today’s sitting is,
however, quite stable compared to the first time Ekweremadu presided
over the Senate.
Senators
of the Unity Forum who have been neck deep in leadership tussle
including their arrowhead, Senator Kabiru Marafa are participating fully
in today’s plenary.
Today’s plenary is dominated by “Alteration
Bill” sponsored by Senator T.A. Orji (Abia Central), Babajide Omoworare
(Osun East), Nathan Achonu (Imo North).
The proposal for Alteration of various section of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria came as first reading.
