We Are Not Under A Dictatorship - Abaribe Stages Walk-Out During Senate Plenary

Posted by Thandiubani on Wed 26th Mar, 2025 - tori.ng

Abaribe had sought the immortalization of Professor Humphrey Nwosu when he was overruled by the presiding officer.

Former minority leader and Senator representing Abia South Senatorial District, Enyinnaya Harcourt Abaribe (APGA) on Wednesday staged a walk-out of the Senate chambers.

This happened after his motion for the immortalisation of Professor Humphrey Nwosu was over-ruled by Presiding Officer.

Senator Abaribe had tried to forward a motion to recognize the former Chairman of the National Electoral Commission, Professor Nwosu (now deceased) following his role in the 1993 Presidential election, adjudged Nigeria's best till date.

His arguments were countered by Majority Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele and despite Senator Yahaya Abubakar Abdullahi's (PDP - Kebbi North) public rebuke of the Presiding Officer (Barau Jubrin - Deputy Senate President), it was eventually over-ruled.

DSP Jubrin gave explanations in the rule book why the motion could not be sustained.

Displeased by the actions of the principal officers, Abaribe staged a walk out of the Senate.
