Elected 8th Republic Senate Members by chiefololade: 1:25pm On Apr 03, 2015
The next Senate will be men-dominated. Only eight of the 109-member Chamber of the National Assembly are women, going by the list of elected Senators.

As against the outgoing Senate where four parties have members elected on their platforms, only Senators from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will constitute the next Senate.

All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Labour Party (LP), the APC and PDP have representatives in the outgoing Senate.

Sixty of the Senators have been elected on the APC platform and the PDP has 49 elected on its platform.

Three of the eight women-senators are of the APC. They are: Oluremi Tinubu, who is a ranking member of the Red Chamber from the Lagos Central Senatorial District, the incumbent Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Alhaja Monsurat Sunmonu. She will be representing Oyo Central.

The third is Binta Masi Garba from Adamawa North.

The five others are from the PDP. They will be joining the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly afresh.

Anambra and Ekiti states produced two each and the other is from Cross River State.



From Anambra are: House of Representatives member Uche Ekwunife (Central) and former Aviation Minister Stella Oduah. The two elected Senators from Ekiti are: Abiodun Olujimi (South), who was Governor Ayodele Fayose’s deputy between 2003 to October 16, 2006, when they were impeached by 24 of the 26-member House of Assembly and Fatima Raji-Rasaki (Central), a House of Representatives member between 2003 and 2007.

Fatima is the wife of former military administrator of Oyo and Lagos states, Brig-Gen. Raji Rasaki (rtd).

The fifth PDP Senator-elect is Rose Okoh, Cross River (North).

Mrs. Okoh has been indisposed since her nomination as the PDP candidate. She did not participate in the campaigns.

The influence of Ex Governors on the senate is growing By the day, do we expect men who were
mediocre governors to become Excellent Senators.Bayero Nafada in the Senate!!!,Is that not
Bankole's Deputy , he has come to continue his "Good work" in the Senate.But he has been
washed by the water of the Broom and is now a New creature

I agree with you on George Akume. Bukola Saraki will however not be the deputy because they are both from the North Central.

Both of them are from the same zone and as such can't be president and deputy respectively.

George Akume is the next Senate president while Saraki is likely going to be the Majority leader.
