Sunday Aborisade in Abuja
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has declared that the red chamber will not allow any lawmaker to hold it hostage, stressing that discipline, order and adherence to parliamentary procedure remain the bedrock of Nigeria’s democracy.
Akpabio, in a statement issued on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Eseme Eyiboh, titled ‘The Trials and Triumphs of a Resilient Nigeria’s 10th Senate,’ said the insistence of the 10th Senate on enforcing its Standing Orders was not aimed at silencing dissenting voices but at preserving institutional integrity and stability.
