Senate President Godswill Akpabio swears in four newly elected senators following victories in recent by-elections conducted by Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The reports from Vanguard and The Punch describe the swearing-in as occurring on Wednesday, after the by-elections produced the winners who would take their seats in the Senate. Among the incoming lawmakers is Olaka Nwogu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), elected to represent Rivers South East. The outlets also identify Envulu Anza of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as one of the new senators. Both accounts state that the other two senators are also sworn in as part of the same group, but the provided excerpts focus mainly on the fact of the swearing-in and name at least these two. The coverage is consistent that the senators’ mandates come directly from the bye-election results announced by INEC, and the swearing-in formalizes their entry into the Senate.
