Abba Moro emerges Senate Minority Leader

Abba Moro, the senator representing Benue South Senatorial District, has emerged as Senate Minority Leader.

Moro, a two-term senator on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was nominated by the opposition party in the red chamber and was subsequently affirmed.

He took over from Senator Simon Davou Mwadkwon, representing Plateau North Senatorial District, who was removed by the Appeal Court.

The Senate had earlier zoned the Minority Leader position to the North Central. Senator Mwadkwon, though a first-timer to the Senate, was nominated by the minority caucus.

The newly elected minority leader in the senate was a former Minister of Interior during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
