Umahi: I Expect Yari To Yield To Akpabio, He Lacks Constitutional Requirements To Emerge Senate President

“The fact remains that I went through the amended constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria and discovered that the constitution as amended, recognized two things. 

“One is that two-thirds of senators-elect shall constitute the minimum requirement for the Assembly to be inaugurated. Two, the constitution recognizes the rules of both the senate and house of reps and so as it stands now, Yari was a member of the house of reps but constitutionally and going by the senate rules, I don’t believe that Yari has the constitutional requirement to stand that election, so we are not bothered about that.
