Senator Abba Moro takes strong stand on Law, Order amid Senate, Benue State crises

DDM News

Senator Abba Moro, the Senate Minority Leader, has strongly defended his actions amid recent political controversies.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) reports that Moro addressed key issues.

He focused on the Senate seating defiance by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and the Benue State Assembly’s legal dispute.

Moro began by stressing the importance of rules governing the Senate’s internal operations and order.

He explained seat rearrangements followed recent defections, leading to new seat assignments for senators.

Senator Natasha was among those reassigned, but she refused to accept her new seat.

While others complied, Natasha insisted on remaining in her former position, defying the Senate’s directive.

Moro personally approached her and urged her to follow the Senate’s rules and move.

“I went to Natasha and said, ‘My sister, go to the seat assigned to you; that is the Senate’s rule,’” he said.

Despite this, Natasha rejected his appeal, telling him to convey her refusal to those who sent him.

Moro described this as a blatant disregard for Senate order and authority.

The seating arrangement issue symbolizes respect for institutional rules and the smooth running of the Senate.

Moro’s intervention was an effort to maintain discipline and unity within the legislative chamber.

The discussion then shifted to Benue State, where the Assembly attempted to remove the Chief Judge improperly.

Moro condemned this move, calling it unlawful and damaging to the rule of law.

He cited the Governor’s refusal to accept the Assembly’s recommendation, recognizing its illegality.

“As a senator, I cannot stay silent when House members violate the law,” Moro stated firmly.

His remarks emphasize the need to uphold the law regardless of political convenience or pressure.

Whether in Abuja or Makurdi, Moro insists that respect for the law is non-negotiable.

The Minority Leader’s stance comes amid rising political tensions challenging Nigeria’s democratic institutions.

The seating defiance by Senator Natasha has attracted widespread attention and debate.

Some see it as defiance of Senate authority; others view it as a protest against unfair treatment.

Moro’s efforts show the Senate leadership’s resolve to enforce rules and maintain order.

Meanwhile, the Benue Chief Judge removal attempt threatens judicial independence and separation of powers.

Moro’s defense of proper legal processes reflects a commitment to governance and accountability.

As Minority Leader, Moro balances minority voices and the need for procedural compliance.

His public comments demonstrate determination to uphold integrity and legality within the Senate.

The cases in both Abuja and Benue highlight ongoing challenges in Nigeria’s democracy.

Moro’s message is clear: the law must be respected, regardless of who is involved.

No person or group should be above the law in Nigeria’s political and judicial systems.
