Former Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong has officially been sworn in as the Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District in the 10th Assembly.

The swearing-in ceremony took place during plenary on Wednesday at the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

Lalong resigned from his position as Minister of Labour and Employment last week to prepare for his swearing-in.

In his letter to President Bola Tinubu, Lalong stated that the Court of Appeal had declared him as the duly elected Senator for Plateau South Senatorial District.

The letter added that the court also directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue him the Certificate of Return.

The decision was not taken lightly, as Lalong acknowledged the trust and confidence that the President had placed in him, having previously served as the Director General of the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Council which contributed to the APC’s victory.

He said:

However, after extensive consultations with Your Excellency, critical stakeholders and my constituents, it has become expedient for me to proceed and take my seat at the Red Chambers to continue to contribute to the Renewed Hope agenda of your Government and the growth of our democracy at large.”
