Senators Did Not Fight Over Seats – Senate Spokesman

The Nigerian Senate has refuted reports of a fight over seating arrangements during Tuesday’s plenary session.

Senate Spokesman, Senator Yemi Adaramola, addressed the media after the session, asserting that seating arrangements were well-known to each senator and that any reported confusion or altercation was false and meant to mislead.

Following the Easter and Sallah break, legislators reconvened for plenary sessions in both the upper and lower chambers. Due to ongoing renovations at the National Assembly Complex, a temporary chamber had been utilized since 2021.

 However, at Tuesday’s session, some senators expressed dissatisfaction with the seating arrangements. Additionally, live transmission of proceedings faced challenges as electronic facilities were not yet fully installed.

Meanwhile, the spokesman, in defense of what happened, stated, “The unfounded story of a phantom fight over seating arrangements is an unscrupulous attempt to drag the image of the Senate into unnecessary and needless controversy.”

He urged the general public to disregard the odious song of sorrow from “these incorrigible wholesalers and retailers of falsehood.”

“There was no disagreement, rancor, or any verbal tirade regarding the seating arrangements in the Senate chamber. The Senate resumed today in the newly renovated chamber, and the seating positions of Senators were done in accordance with established legislative protocols.”
