84 SENATORS PASS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ON SARAKI AMIDST ROW.

The Nigerian senate on resumption of plenary after its annual recess on yesterday, 29th
September, 2015 passed a Vote on Confidence on its incumbent leadership led by the Senate
President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
The Senators had in a motion moved by Senator David
Umaru who represents Niger East Senatorial District,
seconded by former governor of Zamfara State and Senator
representing Zamfara Central Senatorial District, Senator
Ahmed Sani and overwhelmingly supported by 82 others,
passed the Vote of Confidence.
It however did not go without a little hitch as a Senator
from Osun East, Babajide Omoworare who chairs the
Senate Committee on Rules and Business raised that he
would like to withdraw his name from the list and Senator
Kabiru Marafa disrupting proceedings till he walked out of
the Floor while Senators debated the motion which was
subsequently passed with the overwhelming support of
Senators present.
This is an improvement in the performance ratings of the
Senate leadership as about 81 Senators had earlier done
such a few months ago with Senators rising beyond their
political affiliations to support the leadership of Senator
Bukola Saraki without a dissenting voice.
