The Senator representing Kaduna
Central, Shehu Sani, has reacted to the snatching of the mace from the upper
legislative chambers.
Thugs suspected to be loyal to
the suspended Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial district, Ovie
Omo-Agege, on Wednesday, invaded the red chambers and forcefully took away the
mace.
They stormed the chambers when
plenary was going on, thereby creating serious confusion and tension.
Shortly after, the lawmakers
resumed sitting as they vowed never to be intimidated while carrying out the
constitutional duties for which they were voted.
In his reaction, Senator Sani
tweeted via @ShehuSani, “The senate invaded. Mace taken away, and deliberations
on whether to adjourned or not.
“I and others insisted that the
senate must not adjourn. I removed my waist belt and lay to serve as a mace for
us to continue, my colleagues.”
