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 .
