Two Senators, Air Marshall Isaac Mohammed Alfa (Kogi East), and Benjamin Uwajimogu (Imo North) were yesterday sworn.

Senate President Bukola Saraki relied on relevant rules to admit Alfa and Uwajimogu into the Senate chamber.

Alfa won election on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to represent Kogi East; Uwajuimogu won on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) to represent Imo North..

Senate Clerk Nelson Ayelwo administered the oath of office and allegiance to the lawmakers before leading them to meet Saraki to sign relevant documents.

Supporters of the two lawmakers hailed  the brief ceremony.

Alfa and Uwajimogu were to be sworn in on September 23, 2016, but it was postponed.

Alfa promised to serve his constituents to the best of his ability.

He told reporters that his victory was made possible by the people of his area.
