Contributing, Sen. Sam Egwu (PDP – Ebonyi) urged the Federal Government to consider Akwa-Ibom in future appointments in view of the development.

Sen. Adamu Bulkachuwa (APC – Bauchi) said the consideration of the report of the committee was not necessary as the petitioners had withdrawn their petition.

Senate President Ahmad Lawan, however, observed that there was a procedural issue which made it mandatory for the committee to submit its report to the senate in spite of the withdrawal of the petition.

Accordingly, the senate while adopting a resolution by Sen. James Manager (PDP – Delta) resolved that consequent upon the withdrawal of the petition, the matter should be laid to rest.
