Addressing the media after the session, Senate Spokesman Senator Yemi Adaramola emphasized that seating arrangements are well-known to every senator in the red chamber. He dismissed the reported confusion or altercation as false information aimed at misleading the public.

Legislators from both the upper and lower chambers resumed plenary following the Easter and Sallah break. Due to ongoing renovation work at the National Assembly Complex since 2021, lawmakers have been relocated to temporary chambers.

During Tuesday’s session, some Senators expressed dissatisfaction with the seating arrangements. Additionally, there were difficulties in live transmission of proceedings as electronic facilities were not yet fully installed.

However, the Senate spokesman defended the situation, stating, “The unfounded story of a phantom fight over seating arrangements is an unscrupulous attempt to drag the image of the Senate into unnecessary and needless controversy.”

He urged the public to disregard such misleading reports and labeled them as “incorrigible wholesalers and retailers of falsehood.”

Adaramola clarified, “There was no disagreement, rancor, or any verbal tirade regarding the seating arrangements in the Senate chamber. The Senate resumes today in the newly renovated chamber, and the seating positions of Senators were done in accordance with established legislative protocols.”
