Constitution Amendment: Osinbajo’s wife leads women to observe plenary

The wife of the Vice President Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo on Tuesday led a delegation of women to observe the Senate’s plenary.
Senators are preparing to vote on Bills proposed by its committee to amend the 1999 Constitution.

The Senate President Ahmad Lawan recognised the presence of Mrs Osinbajo and her team at the gallery.

In the delegation is the United Nations Country Representative to Nigeria, Comfort Lamptey.

The lawmakers had screamed “no” when a motion to admit Mrs Osinbajo into the chamber to witness proceedings was raised.

Subsequently, the matter was put to vote and the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, ruled to allow her into the chamber.
