Unless there is a last-minute change, Simon Lalong, the minister of labour and employment, is anticipated to resign from his ministry to take a Senate seat.
There are signs that Lalong is ready to enter the Senate after a Court of Appeal decision upheld his victory in the Plateau South senatorial race.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Lalong’s status as a senator was confirmed when he obtained his Certificate of Return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) recently.
