The drama that engulfed the selection of the leadership of the National Assembly on Tuesday took a new twist as 57 out of the 108 inaugurated the 8th National Assembly with the reading of the proclamation letter from President Muhammadu Buhari by the Clerk of the National Assembly, Alhaji Salisu Maikasua.
Consequently, the 57 Senators nominated and endorsed Senator Bukola Saraki, a three-term senator from Kwara state as the President of the Senate.
Out of the 57 senators present 49 are of the PDP.
Our checks shows that Only 55 senators are required to choose a senate president.
The APC leadership who had called for the postponement of the inauguration of the 8th assembly are stunned by this development.
