The Peoples Democratic Party has nominated Senator Philip Aduda as the new Minority Leader of the Senate, and Senator Chukwuka Utazi as the new Minority Whip.
The nominations were contained in a letter signed by the National Secretary of the PDP, Senator Samuel Anyawu, read at the start of plenary by President of the Senate Ahmad Lawan.
Aduda’s nomination was sequel to the resignation of the former Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, who formally announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) last week.
Also, the PDP in its letter to the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, explained that Senator Utazi’s nomination as the new Minority Whip, was as a result of the elevation of Senator Aduda to the position of Minority Leader.
