In a significant development, Senator Abba Patrick Moro has been appointed as the new Minority Leader of the Nigerian Senate. This follows the recent decision by the Appeal Court in Abuja to sack the former Minority Leader, Senator Simon Mwadkwon.
Senator Moro, representing Benue South Senatorial District, was officially announced as the Minority Leader during the Senate’s plenary on Tuesday. The announcement was made by the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
The choice of Senator Moro was the result of deliberations within the minority caucus of the Senate, which convened to address the vacancy created by the removal of Senator Simon Mwadkwon. The Appeal Court’s decision prompted the need for a new leader to represent the minority in the red chamber.
The emergence of Senator Abba Moro as the new Minority Leader signifies a shift in leadership dynamics within the Senate, with implications for the minority representation and dynamics in the legislative body.
