Senates Members Fight Dirty Over Sitting Arrangement
After forty days of Easter and Sallah break, Senators resumed plenary amid a rowdy session after three senators engaged in a heated argument.
This happened in the renovated Hallowed Chamber as the Senators quarrelled over sitting arrangements.
Ecstasy of holding plenary proceedings in the renovated hallowed chamber first enveloped the session at the beginning, but trouble started when the President of the Senate , Godswill Akpabio started reading names of Senators who marked their birthdays during the forty days recess.
Trouble started when Senator Sahabi Alhaji Ya’u, APC Zamfara North, angrily stood up from the seat allocated to him and complained to the Leader, Senator Micheal Opeyemi Bamidele, APC Ekiti Central.
Senator Danjuma Goje, APC, Gombe Central also expressed displeasure of the seats assigned to him and complained to Opeyemi Bamidele.
