Olalekan Adetayo, AbujaThe Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu on Wednesday met behind closed doors with Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to brief him about the invasion of the Senate chambers by suspected thugs that happened earlier in the day. He said the invasion was not acceptable to Buhari and Osinbajo just as it was not acceptable to members of the National Assembly. Ekweramadu said, “I am sure you are aware of the Senate invasion today and we have to come and brief the Vice President because the President is not in town, so it was appropriate for him to know what transpired. “We run a democracy, we are all in one government and it is the responsibility of the President or the Vice President to ensure that there is law and order in the country. The Senate President is out of the country, it is, therefore, my responsibility to come over and brief the Vice President.”(Visited 2,499 times, 145 visits today)
