In a surprising turn of events, Simon Mwadkwon has emerged as the new minority leader of the upper legislative chamber, beating out Aminu Tambuwal for the position.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio made the announcement on Tuesday, revealing the new leadership of the minority caucus.

Alongside Mwadkwon, Oyewumi Olalere was named deputy minority leader, Darlington Nwokocha as minority whip, and Rufai Anga as deputy minority whip.

Tambuwal, the former governor of Sokoto and a former speaker of the house of representatives, had expressed interest in leading the minority caucus but was not included in the list of principal officers.

This outcome comes after Tambuwal faced resistance from members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) due to his role in the primary election that resulted in Atiku Abubakar becoming the party’s standard-bearer.
