Senator Abdullahi Adamu has been sacked as the chairman of the Northern Senators Forum . He was replaced with Senator Aliyu Wamakko.
This was disclosed by the deputy president of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, at the close of plenary on Wednesday, February 21.
The Senator, had, last week, led nine other senators to criticise the amendment to the electoral act seeking to reorder the sequence of polls during general elections.
Meanwhile, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, representing Delta central senatorial district, has apologised to the Senate over his comments on the amendment of the Electoral Act to order the sequence of polls during general elections.
The Nigerian Senate had on Tuesday, February 20, resolved to query him over his allegation that the move to reorder the polls was targeted at President Muhammadu Buhari.
However, the lawmaker raised a point of order at the plenary on Wednesday, February 21, to apologise to the chamber and withdrew his comment.
Omo-Agege is one of the 10 aggrieved APC senators who stormed out of the chamber on Wednesday when the Senate passed the amendment to the Electoral Act 2010.
Adoption of the report by the Senate and House of Representatives Conference Committee on the Amendment to the Electoral Act had caused a sharp division in the ranks of the APC caucus.
