The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has made fun of Bauchi Central Senator, Abdul Ningi, while taunting the opposition parties over the outcome of last governorship election in Edo State.
Naija News reports that Akpabio during the plenary on Wednesday after the senators allowed Governor Monday Okpebholo into the chamber to bid them farewell, said the opposition parties are yet to believe that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) won.
Akpabio said the APC senators were happy with Okpebholo but the opposition senators were not.
The Senate President also mocked Ningi for not commenting on the election on the floor of the Senate over fear of being sanctioned by the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said, “This side (majority senators) is excited because they won. This side (minority senators) is quiet because they still can’t believe that they lost. But I must say that even here, some are indifferent because their political party did not contest, that is APGA.
“For the first time, Senator Ningi did not raise his hand because he does not want to make the mistake of saying something, and when he leaves here, his political party will go and sanction him.”
Okpebholo served as the senator representing Edo Central for two years before his inauguration as governor on 12 November.
