Following weeks of legal tussle, the Senate on Friday, 26th July 2019 swears in Ben Uwajumogu as Senator representing Imo North Senatorial District. The brief ceremony was conducted by President of the Senate, Dr Ahmad Lawan at the plenary.
In an interview with journalists shortly after his swearing-in, Uwajumogu alleged that he was unjustly denied membership of the Senate by INEC, three weeks after securing a favourable judgment in court. He, however, thanked the people of his constituency for their support.
The Senator also thanked President Muhammadu Buhari, Dr Ahmad Lawan and the All Progressives Congress (APC) for their support.
Uwajumogu who is a two-time lawmaker in the National Assembly is also the longest-serving member from the South East on the platform of APC.
