The Nation Newspaper Ndume’s plenary walkout unsettles Senate
To douse the tension, Senate President Godswill Akpabio immefiately called for an emergency closed session during plenary.
Ndume said: “Mr. President, there are some things we do in this chamber that are against the rules. Sir, nobody is too big to learn….”He proceeded to read Order 54 and said it did not support the point Ndume was making and thereafter ruled him out of order. But a source close to the leadership of the Senate said Ndume did not storm out of plenary as he later returned to partake at the executive session.He noted that what transpired on the part of Ndume was a misinterpretation of an order.
The source added that some of the issues discussed during the session includes its upcoming retreat, which they could not have discussed at plenary and Executive communications, and the confirmation of some nominees for appointment.
