Senate President Godswill Akpabio swears in four newly elected senators following their victories in recent by-elections conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Multiple outlets report that the oath is administered during senate plenary in Abuja. The newly sworn senators are Olaka Nwogu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Rivers South East, Envulu Anza of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Nasarawa North, and Ikeje Asogwu, also of the APC, representing Enugu (as reported by one outlet). Another outlet adds that the fourth senator comes from Ondo State, completing the four-seat set after the by-elections. All sources agree the by-elections fill vacant legislative seats and that INEC is responsible for conducting the elections that lead to the senators’ victories. The outlets also attribute the swearing-in to Akpabio, describing him as the presiding Senate President who administers the oath of office. The reports focus on the completion of the oath-taking process and the identification of the new lawmakers by name, party, and constituency/state.
