Senators jostling for Senate Presidency on Tuesday shifted their campaigns to the Red Chamber as proceedings at plenary were intermittently disrupted.
Already, Senator Bukola Saraki, Senator Ahmad Lawan, Senator George Akume and Senator Ali Ndume have signified interest to take over from the Senate President, David Mark, on June 4, after the inauguration of the 8th National Assembly.
Concerned Senators were busy dashing from one seat to another in their bid to lobby their colleagues to support them.
Ngige said, “Mr. President, please could you tell all these campaign co-ordinators to allow us treat this Bill. They are disrupting the chamber and we are not allowed to give the Bill the utmost attention it deserves.”
Ekweremadu had to shout repeatedly to gain his colleagues attention, saying “should please suspend campaign for senate presidency until after the adjournment of the plenary”.
