Former Minister of Interior and Senator, Abba Moro, has been named as the new Senate Minority Leader.
The four-time senator was announced as leader by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during Tuesday’s plenary session.
The decision to appoint Moro, a four-time Senator, as the Senate Minority Leader was reached after consensus among lawmakers of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Their agreement was rooted in the principle of fairness and equity, leading to the zoning of the position to the North-Central region.
Hailing from Benue State in the North Central zone, Moro’s emergence represents a strategic move by the PDP to uphold regional balance and inclusivity within the Senate leadership.
