Confusion has enveloped the senate after some senators passed a vote of
confidence on Bukola Saraki as the senate president and other principal officers.
confidence on Bukola Saraki as the senate president and other principal officers.
The senators resumed today after a six weeks recess. During the recess, the senate president was docked by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) over allegations bordering on false declaration of assets while he was governor of Kwara state.
Trouble started when Senator David Umaru representing Niger East senatorial district moved a motion on behalf of 85 others for a vote of confidence on Saraki’s leadership and other principal officers.
The motion was seconded by Senator Ahmad Yerima, former governor of Zamfara state.
However, when Senator Kabiru Marafa (Zamfara Central) raised a point of order, Saraki refused to recognize him. The red chamber became rowdy afterwards.
