The shakeup follows the ousting of Senator Simon Mwadkwon from Plateau, the former Minority Leader, and Senator Darlington Nwokocha of the Labour Party (LP) from Abia, the erstwhile Minority Whip, as decreed by the Appeal Court. This legal maneuver resulted in the displacement of Senators Mwadkwon and Nwokocha from their prominent positions within the Senate’s minority caucus.
Senator Akpabio’s announcement marks the official confirmation of Senator Abba Moro and Senator Osita Ngwu as the torchbearers of the minority leadership. The duo now assumes vital roles in steering the direction of the opposition within the Senate.
