SENATORS HAVE DEMANDED AN APOLOGY FROM OSHIOMHOLE OVER HIS REMARK ABOUT “LOOTING”

Tunji Wusu –

In response to accusations of vandalism made against them, certain senators, notably those who were elected from the ninth Assembly, have requested an apology from their colleague, Senator Adams Oshiomhole (APC Edo North).

Oshiomhole claimed that senators and House of Representatives members of the 9th National Assembly carried away stuff in their respective offices, including rugs, during the Politics Today program on Channels Television on Sunday.

He said that he and the majority of the federal representatives in the 10th National Assembly refurbished their offices using personal funds.

According to Oshiomole, “TVs, rugs, and chairs were robbed by the recently-expelled senators and House of Representatives members notwithstanding the presence of security men and women.

“The former legislators left their offices in shambles with holes in the walls, which had to be fixed by serving lawmakers from their pockets.”

However, Senator Adeola Solomon (APC Ogun West) presented a resolution on Tuesday at the plenary calling for Oshiomhole to apologize.

He stated that his privilege had been exploited and that the remark was embarrassing to the MPs.

My privilege has been abused,” Solomon remarked. A senator from the Federal Republic of Nigeria claimed on national television that the members of the ninth Assembly, of which I was a member, had stolen office supplies.

“Everyone is aware that a senator or their staff cannot leave the National Assembly without leaving a trail of evidence.

“Each of the items was examined and found to be compliant, and the corresponding sums are subtracted from severance packages.”

The senator must apologize to the House or face the Ethics and Privileges Committee, I hereby demand.

Sen. Adamu Aliero (PDP Kebbi Central) seconded and backed Adeola.

The topic is now up for discussion.
