The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has berated the manner with which senators largely violated the social distancing rule at the plenary session on Tuesday.
According to The PUNCH, some senators wore their face masks wrongly while they exchanged banter before and during plenary.
The senate president however consistently drew the attention of the legislators to the anomaly.
Lawan said:
“Distinguished colleagues, as leaders and lawmakers, please, let us ensure that the principle of social distancing is observed.
“The principle is not observed at the back seats going by the way our distinguished colleagues are seated.
“Please, let the principle be reflected straight away by ensuring the required gaps between the seats.”
Lawan who had to caution the legislators over and over chided Senator Uche Ekwunife for sitting too close to the deputy, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.
He then added that “Any Senator who wants to speak must do so with their face mask properly in place.”
