Nigeria’s Upper Legislative chamber, the Senate has suspended the Senator representing Delta Central, Ovie Omo-Agege (APC) for 90 days following the adoption of a report of the committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions.
The lawmaker was said to have been suspended for alleging that the Senate amended the 2010 Electoral Amendment to frustrate President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid.
It would be recalled that the committee had earlier recommended that the embattled senator be suspended for one year. But the sentence was reduced following the intervention of the Senate President Bukola Saraki and other All Progressives Congress (APC) senators.
