Tokunbo Abiru, and Nora Dadu’ut take the oath of office at the
Senate chamber of the National Assembly in Abuja on December 15,
2020.
The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has sworn in four new
lawmakers into the red chamber of the National
Assembly.
Those sworn in on Tuesday include former Bayelsa State Governor,
Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa West), Mr Cleopas Moses (Bayelsa Central),
Mr Tokunbo Abiru (Lagos East), and Professor Nora Dadu’ut (Plateau
South).
The newly inaugurated lawmakers were returned elected by the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the
bye-elections conducted to fill the vacant seats in the Senate.
Their inauguration took place shortly after Senator Ibrahim
Oloriegbe (Kwara Central) moved for the adoption of votes and
proceedings for Thursday last week, and the motion was seconded by
Senator Sandy Onuh (Cross River Central).
In his remarks, Senate President Lawan noted that the lawmakers
in the chamber have designed and devoted themselves to working for
Nigerians.

According to him, the Ninth Senate works in a very bipartisan
fashion as three – the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), and the Young Progressives Party (YPP) –
are represented in the chamber.
“We have done fairly well as an Assembly. We are faced with
challenges, but these are surmountable challenges.
“To our colleagues who have just joined us, incidentally at the
moment it is a draw. The major thing is we are one,” he said.
The Senate President added, “I want to pray that our countrymen
and women will always give their maximum support to the National
Assembly in particular and the legislature.
“The National Assembly is made up of human beings and we can
make mistakes as human beings but this Ninth Assembly will not
cause any disruption in government.”
