There was an uproar in the Senate on Tuesday following the announcement of two minority leaders by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The PDP senators had, last week, held an emergency crucial meeting on the replacement for the principal positions of Senate Minority Leader and Minority Whip. During Tuesday’s plenary, Akpabio announced the duo of Abba Moro (PDP, Benue South) as minority leader and Osita Ngwu (PDP, Enugu West) as minority whip. The Senate President said the new minority leaders had the majority support of their colleagues in the opposition. He said 41 minority senators signed the document endorsing Moro as minority leader while 30 backed Ngwu for the minority whip seat.
