The major issues of focus today Wednesday, September 30, in the Nigerian daily newspapers are on the vote of confidence passed on the leadership of the Senate president, Bukola Saraki and the demise of one of Nigeria’s finest Technocrats, Gamaliel Onosode.
A vote of confidence was on Tuesday, September 30, passed on the senate president, Olubukola Saraki, the deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu and the entire leadership of the Senate, Vanguard reports.
There had been speculation that the Senate president was losing the grasp of his supporters in the Senate on an account of the alleged false assets declaration suit he is facing at the Code of Conduct of Tribunal (CCT) and might be asked to step aside as Senate president.
But move has ended such supposition.

The Senate session however, became stormy as some members of the upper legislative chamber protested the passing of vote of confidence on Saraki by 83 senators, The Punch reports.
The Senate had been on break since August 13. Since Saraki was slammed with 13-count charge by the Code of Conduct Bureau on the ground of false assets declaration, there had not been any plenary session except Tuesday’s being the first.
