Senator Abba Moro has emerged as the new Minority Leader of the Nigerian Senate.
Senator Moro who hails from Benue State is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, formally informed the Senate about the recent changes in the minority leadership today.
In a related development, Senator Osita Ngwu from the PDP representing Enugu West Senatorial District has been appointed as the new Minority Whip.
The appointments came in the wake of the removal of Senator Simon Mwadkwon from Plateau, who previously held the position of Minority Leader, and Senator Darlington Nwokocha of the Labour Party (LP) from Abia, who served as the Minority Whip by the Appeal Court.
The Court of Appeal’s decision led to the displacement of Senator Mwadkwon and Senator Nwokocha from their leadership positions within the Senate’s minority caucus, according to Politics Nigeria.
With the Senate Minority reshuffle, Senator Abba Moro and Senator Osita Ngwu have now been elevated to key positions within the minority leadership.
