Senate President Appoints Abba Moro as Chairman, Federal Character Committee

 

The President of the Senate, Sen. Ahmad Lawan, has appointed Sen. Abba Moro (Benue South) as Chairman of the Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs.

 

Sen. Lawan made the announcement before the Chamber adjourned plenary session on Wednesday, May 11, 2022. 

 

Abba Moro replaces the former Chairman of the Committee, Sen. Danjuma La’ah (Kaduna South), who was on Wednesday nominated by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as the new Deputy Minority Whip of the Senate.   

 

La’ah’s nomination comes on the heels of Sen. Ibrahim Danbaba’s defection from the PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). 

 

La’ah’s nomination was contained in a letter addressed to the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, and signed by the National Secretary of the PDP, Sen. Samuel Anyawu. 

 

The Senate President while announcing Moro’s appointment said, “the new Chairman of the Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs is Sen. Abba Patrick Moro representing Benue South”.

 

“We wish him a good tenure even though we have only just about a year to go.”

 

Signed:

 

Dr. Ezrel Tabiowo, FAI, FIMC, CMC, FCP, Fsca
