President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, during the swearing in of
the senator representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, Senator
Biodun Olujimi, at the National Assembly on Thursday, November 14,
2019.

The Senate on Thursday swore-in Biodun Olujimi as the Senator
representing Ekiti South Senatorial District at the National
Assembly.

Olujimi, garbed in a coffee-brown attire, was sworn-in by the
upper chamber, following an oath administered by the Clerk of
Senate, Nelson Ayewoh, at exactly 10:40 immediately after the
commencement of plenary.

The lawmaker, who was the Minority Leader in the Eighth Senate,
was last week declared winner of the 2019 Senatorial election by
the Kaduna Division of the Court of Appeal.

The Court which nullified the election of spokesman of the
Senate, Dayo Adeyeye, upheld the tribunal judgment which declared
Olujimi and the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party as
winner at the 2019 National Assembly elections to represent Ekiti
South.

The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, after the lawmaker was
sworn-in, called for unity among all members of the upper
chamber.

He added that Olujimi’s victory brings the number of female
Senators to eight in the upper chamber.

“Let me congratulate the Minority leader in the eighth Senate.
With this, we now have eight very solid female Senators.

“We pray that this addition will bring additional productivity
and stability to the Senate.

“I call for unity and of course, we should remain focused and do
those things that will make our country great”, Lawan said.
