JUST IN: Senate in rowdy session over FG’s social intervention programme
Plenary at the Senate on Wednesday turned rowdy when the Minority Leader , Senator Biodun Olujimi alleged that the Social Intervention Programme of the Federal Government , which was introduced by the President Muhammadu Buhari – led administration .
Olujimi alleged that beneficiaries of the programme were being asked to provide details of their Permanent Voter Card in the application form .
While presenting a copy of the form , she further alleged that ‘ I Stand with Buhari ’ was written on it .
Before the Majority Leader, Senator Ahmad Lawan, who defended the Buhari -led administration and the programme could speak , the chamber had become noisy as the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party exchanged words across the divide .
The APC lawmakers also forced the Senate to resolve that the SURE – P policy of the immediate past PDP government led by former President Goodluck Jonathan be probed .
