A day after officially dumping the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senate President Ahmad Lawan has appointed the former Deputy Minority Leader, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, as the chairman of the Committee on Procurement.
Bwacha’s appointment was announced on the floor at the start of plenary on Wednesday by the Senate President.
AccessNews had earlier reported that the National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorcha Ayu, in a letter to the Senate on Tuesday, nominated Senator Shuaibu Isa Lau as the new Deputy Minority Leader to replace Bwacha.
The Senate President, on Wednesday, also announced Lau’s appointment as the Vice Chairman of the Committee on Works alongside Bwacha’s on the floor.
