The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, has sworn in Dr. Stephen Odey to represent Cross Rivers North in the Upper Chamber.
Senator Odey replaces the Late Senator Rose Oko who died early this year.
Senate President Ahmed Lawan did not administer the oath of office on Mr. Odey alongside other senators-elect on Tuesday, December 15th because of a court injunction restraining him from swearing him in as his election is being disputed.
However, no explanation has so far been given for the decision of the Senate President to administer the oath of office in Mr. Odey.
