One of the Senators from the North told LEADERSHIP yesterday that most of the lawmakers from the opposition camp have since resolved to work with the Senate
Speaking with this paper in confidence, the Senator from the North Central zone said, “I can put it to you that Senator Yari would not want to set that kind of precedence that elections to choose NASS will become a matter of litigation in court. It would be the height of tomfoolery for the legislature, the second arm of government to rely on the third arm, judiciary, in resolving its internal crisis.
In a Facebook post on his verified page, Kalu said that Akpabio won the contest in a free, fair and credible manner. “There was no controversy about who won the election. If there is anything any other person wants to say, that is their business. Akpabio, to my conscience, to my seeing and to my honour, won the election and we have since congratulated him,” he stated.
The political leaders urged the lawmakers to sheath their sword while urging those who have emerged to ensure justice. Speaking on plans by aggrieved opposition Senators to disturb the peace of the Senate, Wainwei said such moves will be counterproductive.
