Akpabio Swears In Four Newly Elected Senators After By-Elections

President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, on Wednesday swore in four new senators elected during last Saturday’s by-elections, formally admitting them into the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

The lawmakers, who emerged victorious on the platforms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), took their oaths of office during the plenary presided over by Akpabio.

The new senators are Dayo Faduyile of the APC, representing Ondo South Senatorial District; Envulu Anza of the APC, representing Nasarawa North Senatorial District; Ikeje Asogwu of the APC, representing Enugu North Senatorial District; and Olaka Nwogu of the PDP, representing Rivers South East Senatorial District.

Their inauguration fills vacancies in the affected senatorial districts and restores full representation for their constituents in the Senate.
