Rowdy session in Senate as 84 Senators pass vote of confidence on Bukola Saraki

Eighty-four Senators have passed a vote of confidence on Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki.

Following the vote of confidence, a rowdy session ensued in the Senate.

There are also reports that pro-Saraki protesters have barricaded the National Assembly complex.

As the National Assembly resumed sitting this morning, hundreds of protesters barricaded the entrance, singing solidarity songs in support of Dr. Saraki.

The protesters are asking anti-graft agencies to desist from being used against what they perceive as “political enemies”.
