Disorderly circumstances arose during the plenary session on Tuesday when Senator Solomon Adeola, who represents Ogun West, raised a point of order, stating that Senator Adams Oshiomhole has infringed upon his privilege in a recent interview.
Senator Adeola alleged that the television interview reportedly granted by Senator Adams Oshiomhole accused Senators of the 9th National Assembly of looting their offices at the end of their tenure in June, 2023.
He therefore, called on Oshiomhole to apologise to the Senate for saying senators looted their offices.
Supporting this argument Senator Adamu Aliero emphasised that Oshiomhole should apologise.
Similarly the Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume raised a point of order that the Senate should dissolve into an executive session to deliberate on the matter.
However when the motion to go into closed door session was put to voice vote, Senators opted that the matter be discussed in plenary openly.
At this point, Senate President Godswill Akpabio called on Oshiomhole to approach chair After a brief talk, Akpabio requested him to state his own side of the matter.
Mr Oshiomhole, in his submission, apologised for the comment saying he defended the Senate during his television interview under reference rather than indicting Senators of the 9th Senate of looting their offices.
