Amidst the highly anticipated return to its refurbished chamber, the Nigerian Senate found itself embroiled in a tumultuous session marked by a heated dispute over seating arrangements.
The commotion erupted when Senators Danjuma Goje and Sahabi Yau, representing Gombe Central and Zamfara North respectively, voiced discontent over their assigned seats, raising objections to the seating hierarchy dictated by the chamber's standing rules.
As Senate President Godswill Akpabio commenced proceedings, tensions escalated among the senators, with Goje and Yau adamant about their desire for more prominent seating positions.
Led by Majority Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, efforts to quell the unrest were met with resistance, prompting a motion for a closed-door session to address the discord. The episode underscores underlying tensions within the Senate and highlights the challenges of maintaining order amidst procedural disputes.
