The Senate, has barred first-time senators from vying for the position of the Senate President and Deputy Senate President. This is as it amended its rule on Tuesday.
The amendment to Section 2(1)(2) and (3) followed a motion by the Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, titled, “Amendment to the Standing Orders of the Senate Pursuant to Order 109 of the Senate Standing Orders, 2022.”
This amendment comes amidst rumours of alleged moves by northern lawmakers to impeach the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
