Nigerian Senate Denies Fighting Over Sitting Arrangement During Plenary Session
Earlier reports had suggested that the Senate’s return to plenary was marked by a tumultuous session, with senators purportedly fighting over seating arrangements.
However, the Senate spokesperson, Senator Yemi Adaramodu in a statement said there was no such disagreement or rancor regarding seating arrangements among senators.
Adaramodu dismissed the reports as unfounded and described them as an attempt to needlessly tarnish the image of the Senate.
He urged the public to disregard these false claims, labeling them as efforts by unscrupulous people to sow discord.
According to the Senate spokesperson,
Quote
“the unfounded story of a phantom fight over seating arrangements is an unscrupulous attempt to drag the image of the Senate into an unnecessary and needless controversy.
“There was no disagreement, rancor or any verbal tirade in respect of the seating arrangements in the Senate chamber.
“The Senate resumes today in the newly renovated chamber and the seating positions of Senators were done in accordance to the established Legislative protocols.
“It is pertinent to know that rankings of Senators and leadership positions are considered. All legislators all over the world know and accept this tradition.
“The new arrangements in the chamber today did not depart from this. Every Senator is thus considered based on this Legislative tradition, hence there couldn’t be any confusion over seating arrangements.
“Senators have been observing these seating protocols, even in the temporary chamber, hence the unfounded story of a phantom fight over seating arrangements is an unscrupulous attempt to drag the image of the Senate into an unnecessary and needless controversy.
“The general public should disregard this odious song of sorrow from these incorrigible wholesalers and retailers of falsehood.”
