Adamant Saraki Defies Party’s Order,
Announces Ndume, Na’Alla Senate
Leader , Deputy
By Ganiyu Nasirudeen – In contradiction to
the party’s nomination, Senate President,
Bukola Saraki Thursday at the plenary session
announced Senator Ali Ndume from Borno
State as the new 8th Senate Leader.
Similarly, Saraki announced Senator Bala Ibn
Na’Alla from kebbi State as the new Deputy
Senate Leader.
He also announced Senator Francis
Alimikhena from Edo State as the Deputy
Chief Whip while Senator Olushola Adeyeye
from Osun State was picked for Senate Chief
Whip position.
The nomination aligned with Saraki’s choice,
but was allegedly rejected by the South West
Senators.
The announcement evoked objection from
APC Senator, Kabiru Marafa, as he explained
the announcement ran contrary to the
necessary guideline for the appointment of
Senate Principal Officers, but he was ruled
out of order by Saraki.
In the meantime, the Senate President has
adjourned the senate sitting to July 21 ,
2015.
