Senators Ahmad Lawan and George Akume,
who were favoured by the All Progressives Congress to emerge as the
Senate President and Deputy Senate President respectively at the June 9
inauguration of the Senate, walked out of plenary in protest on
Wednesday.
The senators, who walked out in company
with some of their colleagues, protested the decision of the Senate
President, Bukola Saraki, to allow his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, to
preside over plenary in his absence.
Ekweremadu presided over the Wednesday
sitting because Saraki was at the Presidential Villa to attend the
inauguration of new ministers by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Lawan and three others, later held a brief discussion before they left for their various offices in the new Senate wing.
