The Senate protested entry of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, Chairman, Zacch Adedeji and consultants to the Senate. 

This was after the Upper Chamber suspended its rules to admit Adedeji and the consultants to explain what the Tax Reform Bill entailed.

However, before they were admitted, a slight uproar ensued as some lawmakers kicked against the FIRS Chair’s entry to the chamber.

Sen.Ningi and Ndume raised an objection over the senate’s decision to suspend the business of the day and entertain a separate matter, in spite of its validity.

The senators had attempted to stage a walkout before they rescinded.


A few minutes after, Sen. Ndume quoting order 52, demanded an apology from the Deputy Senate President for using offensive language against him but was again ruled out of order.
