Chukwuma Frank Ibezim has finally been sworn-in as the Senator representing Imo North Senatorial District by the senate President, Ahmad Lawan.
The Clerk to the Senate, Ibrahim El-Ladan administered the oaths of office and allegiance on Ibezim on the directives of Lawan. He was sworn-in after three months of legal tussle with Ifeanyi Ararume, a contender for the seat.
The seat became vacant in December 2019 after the demise of Benjamin Uwajumogu, who was sworn in to represent the senatorial district at the commencement of the ninth senate.
