However, the name of Okorocha, the immediate-past governor of Imo was missing from the senators-elect from the state as a result of the Independent National Electrical Commission (INEC)’s inability to give him a certificate of return.
At Thursday:s plenary, Okorocha took the Oath of Office at the chamber at about 10:39 am.
He then advanced to the senate president to have a handshake after signing the necessary documents.
