There was a mild drama in the Senate on Tuesday over the emergence of Benue South Senator, Abba Morro as the Senate Minority Leader and Enugu West Senator, Osita Ngwu as Minority Whip.<\/p>\n

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members replaced Simon Mwadkwon, senator representing Plateau north; and Darlington Nwokocha, senator representing Abia central, following their sack by the Court.<\/p>\n

Soon after Akpabio finished reading the announcements said to be from the minority caucus, an altercation ensued on the floor of parliament.<\/p>\n

Labour Party Senator from Anambra North, Tony Nwoye, condemned Akpabio\u2019s decision to choose leaders for the senators, stressing that it was unfair.<\/p>\n

Yelling at Akpabio, Nwoye said: \u201cAre we your slaves? Why will the senate president be picking leaders for us?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have done your worst. You have pushed us to the wall. Meaning what? It is unfair. It is not about me, it is about the institution of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

After some senators pacified Nwoye, Akpabio explained that the two minority leaders had shown the signatories of the senators who agreed with the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cMinority put your house in order first,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe senate president can only work with what is before me. You have senator Abaribe and Aliero, their names are not here,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
