In Nigeria embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki on Tuesday briefly
presided over plenary session of the house before leaving to attend his trial
at the Code of Conduct Tribunal CCT sitting in Abuja.
The
Senate President came into the chambers at 10.48am and the session took off
with the opening prayer.
Deputy
Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, took over from Saraki when he left the seat.
During
the session, the controversy trailing a supposed bill to create a Grazing
Reserve commission for cattle breeders in the country was raised by the Senator
representing Abia South Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe..
Abaribe,
said to the best of his knowledge, there is no such bill by that name before
the Senate.
Abaribe
recalled that the last time the Grazing Reserve Commission Bill came to the
Senate was in the 7th Senate when Senator Zainab Kure who is no longer in the
upper chamber proposed the bill.
He
said the bill sponsored by Senator Kure PDP Niger South failed to fly as it was
roundly rejected.
