The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on Monday, unveiled the 74 Standing Committees of the 10th Senate, with the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) getting the lion’s share.
While the APC got 48 chairmanship slots out of the 74 Standing Committees, the major opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), got 18 chairmanship positions, and four slots ended in the hands of members of the Labour Party.
The Social Democratic Party got two chairmanship slots; the All Progressives Grand Alliance and the Young People’s Party got one, while the New Nigeria Peoples Party got none.
Reacting to the spread of the chairmanship slots, Senator Siyako Anthony ( PDP Gombe South) told The PUNCH that PDP senators were analysing the list.
Siyako, who got the Vice Chairmanship position of the Senate Committee on Diaspora and NGO, said it was too early to comment on whether the committees’ composition was lopsided.
