The Senate had a rowdy session over the request by President Muhammadu Buhari to approve Ways and Means Advances restructuring to the tune of 23.7 trillion naira.

At the plenary, Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, read out Buhari’s request to members of the respective chambers.

However, drama ensued as the chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Solomon Adeola, was reporting the committee’s finding on the Ways and Means when the lawmaker representing Rivers West, Senator Betty Apiafi, stood up to counter the new borrowings, and the Senate President shouted her down.

Events took another dimension as senators began to shout, standing up and shouting with aggression. As the tension kept increasing at the plenary, Lawan quickly called for a closed-door session.
