New deputy senate president

You're referring to the recent development in the Nigerian Senate!

On June 11, 2022, the Nigerian Senate elected Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as the new Deputy Senate President. He replaced Senator Ogunbiyi Otehili, who had been acting in the role since the previous Deputy Senate President, Senator Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege, resigned in May 2022.

Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Delta State, was elected unopposed to the position, which is the second-highest office in the Senate. He has been a senator since 2015 and has served as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Constitution Review.

The election of a new Deputy Senate President is significant, as it affects the leadership structure of the Senate and the balance of power within the chamber.
