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 participated fully in today’s plenary.
The plenary took much time looking at “Alteration Bill” sponsored by Senator T.A. Orji (Abia Central), Babajide Omoworare (Osun East), Nathan Achonu (Imo North).
The proposal for Alteration of various sections of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria came as first reading. [myad]
