The Senate has remained silent over the alleged conviction of one of its presiding officers for felony by a United States’ court in 1996.

A coalition of nine civil society organisations had penultimate Monday alleged that the Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo- Agege, was convicted by a US court in 1996.

They asked the DSS to investigate and prosecute the Deputy President of the Senate since his colleagues had refused to take any action. Repeated calls made to the phone number of the Senate spokesperson, Godiya Akwashiki, were not answered.A principal officer of the Senate however told our correspondent on condition of anonymity on Tuesday that the Senate would not speak on the matter.He said, “What do you want the Senate to say? The man has cleared himself of the allegation levelled against him. Let those who are protesting drag him to court.

Even MBuhari doesn't have a waec certificate, so what's new that y'all want a rubber stamp NGRSenate to do. All we have there is a bunch of selfish looters who have never and will never have the interest of Nigeria at heart.

A Mace thief can never be far from 👹👺💀

They're birds of a feather

What do you expect from them? As a nation we got it wrong from the beginning and as a people we are so indifferent about national issues

It's over ten year naa. Nigerian law says after ten years of convoy, he can seek political office again.

Toilet paper

Gathering of pernicious thieves They cover there tracks

Another crook in the senate! Apc is the bastion of criminals!!!

Quoting 'Repeated calls made to the phone number of the Senate spokesperson, Godiya Akwashiki, were not answered' What were you expecting Godiya Akwashiki of all people to say. A man who was beaten and stripped naked for attempting to sleep with a married woman. 😂

In a sane country, can this kind of rascal human being represent people be in the senate? He is supposed to be in the park loading motors. But because they need such rascality to suffer, they allow it

Mace robber from Senate chamber Turn Deputy Senate President Naija must get sense.

NekkaSmith firstladyship see una friend.😂

Birds of the same feathers flock together

He organised people to steal mace nothing happened is it this one that he is denying you expect something to happen! It's a carry go situation

Of course mum will be the word for them now as they have suddenly lost their voices but they will get it back if it happens to people from the other sides.

Do you know what the North does to the South ? They look for a fellow with dent and support them so that they will keep them hostage with it to do their bidding. Get it clear now

They will nah. Before nko
