Nov 30, 2016 Featured , From The
Legislature
The members of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) walked out of the plenary session on Wednesday following the defection of Senator Yele Omogunwa, Representing Ondo South to All Progressive Party (APC).
Senators walked out of plenary shortly after the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, read the letter written by the lawmaker to formally declaring his defection to the APC.
However, the Minority Leader of the Senate, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, who is the leader of the PDP caucus, had urged Saraki to declare Ondo South’s seat vacant, since there was no division in the PDP to justify the defection.
Saraki however ruled Akpabio out of order, a development that threw the plenary into rowdiness.
The Minority Leader thereafter led other
members of the PDP caucus put of the
chamber in protest.
