The All Progressives Congress has selected Senator Abdullahi Gobir, as its new Senate Leader. This decision by the ruling party was contained in a letter written by the National Chairman of the APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu and read by Senate President Ahmad Lawan during the plenary session on Wednesday.
Senator Gobir replaces Senator Yahaya Abdullahi following his resignation as Senate Leader wing to the latter’s defection from the APC to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
Meanwhile, senators from opposition parties staged a walkout following a call to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari.
This followed a mild drama that played out during the plenary in the upper chamber of the National Assembly in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
