Former minster of Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, once again this afternoon confirmed by senate as Minister of Federal Territory Capital (Abuja). At its plenary sitting today, members of the senate asked him to take a bow and go since he was a former senator, an action that infuriated APC Senators who then staged a walkout in protest.
I want to use this medium to express my profound gratitude to my distinguished colleagues in the Senate for their kind support. #MO

I have no ill feelings towards the Senators from Lagos who stood against me. Their position has amplified the strength of our democracy. #MO
