Akpabio

Sen. Godswill Akpabio (Akwa-Ibom North-West) has emerged the senate Minority Leader in the Red chamber. The former Akwa Ibom governor was nominated by the south south caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Making the announcement, President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, also announced the appointment of Sen. Emmanuel Bwacha (PDP Taraba South) as Deputy Minority Leader.

Other appointees of the PDP are Sen. Phillip Aduda (PDP FCT), Minority Whip and Sen. Biodun Olujimi (PDP Ekiti South), Deputy Minority Whip.

Sen. Kabir Marafa (APC Zamfara Central) immediately challenged the appointments, saying that they violated the senate’s rules on ranking.

He urged that the appointment should be declared null and void,arguing that ,a ranking senator was supposed to have occupied the position given to Akpabio.

However, the Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekwerenmadu, insisted that the appointment of the officers was PDP’s affair and not the business of Marafa, who is an APC member. He clarified that the rule on ranking only stipulates that ranking senators should be considered first before other non-ranking senators, stressing that the constitution allows any senator to occupy any position.

“If the ranking senator cannot take the position for any reason, then the next level of ranking senators can be considered,”

At the point, Saraki ruled Marafa out of order, saying that the PDP senators were not complaining and as such, urged Marafa to “stop crying more than the bereaved’’.
