Our correspondent JAMES IGAH reports that the defection by Senator YELE OMOGUNWA threw the Senate into a rowdy session during plenary today.
Subsequently; the remaining PDP Senators, led by the Deputy Senate Leader; GODSWILL AKPABIO, staged a walkout in protests against the refusal by the Senate President, BUKOLA SARAKI to declare the seat of Senator YELE OMOGUNWA vacant.
Addressing newsmen outside the Senate Chamber, Senator AKPABIO vowed the Senate Caucus would ensure that Senator OMOGUNWA’s seat is declared vacant as a means to protect the sanctity of Nigeria’ democracy.
