JUST IN: Senators Demand Apology From Oshiomhole Over ‘looting’ Comment
Some senators, particularly those who came from the ninth Assembly, have demanded an apology from their colleague, Senator Adams Oshiomhole (APC Edo North), over allegations of vandalism levelled against them.
Oshiomhole, at the Politics Today programme on Channels Television on Sunday, alleged that senators and House of Representatives members of the 9th National Assembly carted away items in their various offices, including rugs.
He said he and most of the federal lawmakers in the 10th National Assembly used their personal money to put their offices in shape.
Oshiomole said, “In spite of the presence of security men and women, television sets, carpets, and chairs were looted by the immediate past senators and House of Representatives members.
“The former lawmakers left their offices in shambles with holes in the walls, which had to be fixed by serving lawmakers from their pockets.”
However, on Tuesday at the plenary, Senator Adeola Solomon (APC Ogun West), moved a motion demanding an apology from Oshiomhole.
He noted that the comment was an embarrassment to the lawmakers and that his privilege had been abused.
