The Senate has received the nomination of Senator Danjuma La’ah representing Kaduna South as the new Deputy Minority Whip of the Senate from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
La’ah’s nomination is contained in a letter addressed to the President of the Senate Ahmad Lawan, and read at the start of plenary.
The letter was signed by the National Secretary of the PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
Anyanwu explained in the letter that the nomination of Senator La’ah was against the backdrop of the recent defection of the former Minority Whip, Senator Ibrahim Abdullahi Danbaba representing Sokoto South, to the majority All Progressives Congress (APC).
The letter reads in parts:“We wish to affirm the nomination of Senator Danjuma La’ah (Kaduna South) by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Senate Caucus, to fill the vacant seat of the Senate Minority Whip”
Senator Lawan urged the new Deputy Minority Whip to perform his functions to bring about stability and productivity to the Senate.
