Senator Seriake Dickson has launched a scathing critique of both President Bola Tinubu and the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, accusing them of undermining democracy even as Nigeria marked the 2025 Democracy Day.
The lawmaker stormed out of the Joint National Assembly session after Akpabio refused to acknowledge his attempt to speak on what he described as “undemocratic communications” from the Presidency regarding Rivers State.
Before President Tinubu’s address at the joint sitting of the Senate and House of Representatives, the Senate had held a brief plenary where 3 letters from the President were read.
These included requests for the confirmation of the Chairman and members of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), Members of the Rivers State Primary Healthcare Management Board, and Members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission.
