Some Senators Will Challenge Akpabio's Election Victory In Court

The struggle for control of the 10th National Assembly has not yet come to an end since a few irate senators have finalized plans to rush to court to contest Godswill Akpabio's election as president of the Senate.

The Members of Parliament complained about the votes utilized to elect the President of the Senate and said that the election was unfair, LEADERSHIP learned.

Additionally, it was found that several senators planned to criticize the APC party and threatened to defect following the election of the 10th Senate.

According to a source in the senate, 22 senators have decided against joining other political parties in order to give the opposition a majority in the legislature.

The opposition parties will have 72 members (Senators) as long as this scheme is approved, compared to the APC's meager 37 senators.

However, the former senate reprimandee, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, refuted the claims made by some of his colleagues, claiming that the senators did not make light of the election of Akpabio as senate president on June 13 by making jokes.

In a video that Kalu was discovered to be in, he was heard saying, "In reality, the Senate elections were conducted effectively." Akpabio, the senator, was elected. It was carried out legally and fairly.

It is one council that was previously constituted on June 13 with the election of a chairman and a deputy, according to Kalu, who claimed that there have never been two councils.

But the senators who spoke with our correspondent contradicted Kalu's assertion and said they wouldn't let the new speaker serve out his entire term.

Senator Abdul'aziz Yari's nomination, according to two senators from the northeast who share the same opinion as the outraged senators, was the only reason the election was rigged.

Even though the poll was held and even though Akpabio won, there are still many unanswered questions, according to one senator who requested anonymity.
