Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, on Thursday, presided over plenary for the first time.
Omo-Agege, who represents Delta Central Senatorial District, rose to occupy the seat during plenary after Senate President Ahmad Lawan sought to leave the chamber to allow him attend to other national issues outside the National Assembly.

Omo-Agege received cheers from some of his colleagues on the feat.
Senator Abba Moro (Benue South) was the first to move a motion supervised by Omo-Agege.
Prior to his exit, Lawan announced that Omo-Agege would chair a 57-member committee for Constitution Review.
Other members of the committee include the principal officers: Senate Leader, Yahaya Abdullahi; Deputy Senate Leader, Ajayi Borrofice; Deputy Chief Whip, Sabi Abdullahi; Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe; Senate Deputy Minority Leader, Emmanuel Bwacha; Minority Whip, Philip Aduda and Deputy Minority Whip, Sahabi Ya’u.
