Senate President Godswill Akpabio has announced Sen. Simon Mwadkwon (PDP-Plateau) as Senate Minority Leader.
This ended the ambition of former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal who wanted to clinch the position.
Akpabio made the announcement after a closed-door session which lasted about 10 minutes.
He also announced Sen. Oyewumi Olalere (PDP-Osun) as Deputy Minority Leader; Sen. Darlington Nwokocha (LP-Abia), Minority Whip, and Sen. Rufai Hanga (NNPP-Kano), as Deputy Minority Whip. (NAN)
