There was a mild drama at the
Senate yesterday when Senator Jeremiah Useni (PDP, Plateau) stood up to second
a motion on College of Education, Pankshin in Plateau State.
Useni, a retired Army General had
stood up to second a motion sponsored by Senator Jonah Jang (PDP, Plateau) on
‘the need to initiate proceedings for the release of certificates and
mobilization of graduates of the Federal College of Education, Pankshin,
Plateau state in the NYSC.’
When Useni stood up to introduce
himself, he said: “I’m General J.T. Useni or Senator J. T. Useni.”
His statement evoked laughter and
was followed by a chorus of ‘Jerry -Boy,’ ‘Jerry-Boy’ by his colleagues (his
popular name while in the military).
The retired General, who recently
alleged that the Senators in support of reordered electoral timetable were
bribed, said: “If you call me Jerry- Boy, I’m Jerry-Boy and if you call you me
Senator Jerry- Boy, yes I am.”
The Deputy Senate president, Ike
Ekweremadu took back the senators to the business of the day when he said,
“thank you Senator Useni, formerly known as Jerry- Boy.”
