Earlier, the 9th national assembly elected Ahmed Lawan as the Senate president after he defeated his colleague, Sen. Ali Ndume to emerge as the Senate president.
Few moments ago, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege, APC Delta state, defeated Sen. Ike Ekwerenmadu to emerge as the Deputy senate president.
Meanwhile, many Nigerians are so surprised to have seen a man who desecrated the 8th national assembly by stealing of the symbol of justice ⚖, mace and was subsequently suspended few months ago to get rewarded for a mace well stolen.
However, some would rather put their tribal interests ahead of National interest and keep celebrating his emergence. They simply don’t care about credibility of candidates so long as he comes from their region. Bon voyage.
