Senate adjourns plenary in honour of late Rep. Dogonyaro
The Senate has adjourned plenary until Wednesday in honour of the late House of Representatives member Isa Dogonyaro, who died on May 10 in Abuja.
Mr Dogonyaro represented the Babura/Garki Federal Constituency of Jigawa in the House of Representatives before his death.
The Senate resolution followed the adoption of a motion for adjournment moved by the deputy leader of the Senate, Lola Ashiru (APC- Kwara) and seconded by the minority leader, Abba Morro (PDP-Benue), on Tuesday.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio said the adjournment was in accordance with the National Assembly’s tradition of paying last respects to colleagues who had passed on.
Before the adjournment, the Senate observed a minute of silence in honour of the deceased.
Mr Akpabio also condoled the House of Representatives, family of the deceased lawmaker, constituents, government and people of Jigawa over the lawmaker’s death.
Until his death, Mr Dogonyaro was the vice chairman of the House Committee on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Control.
