Senate Observes a Minute Silence for Olowoporoku

By Deji Elumoye and Udora Orizu
The Senate Wednesday, observed a minute silence in honour of Senator Bode Olowoporoku who died recently after a brief illness at the age of 76.
This followed a point of order raised on his demise by former Senate Minority Leader, Senate Biodun Olujimi (PDP, Ekiti South).
Coming under Order 43 of the Senate Standing Rules, Olujimi noted that Senator Olowoporoku, who was born in llawe-Ekiti, Ekiti State in 1945, was at the forefront in the agitation for the creation of Ekiti State.
She said he provided extensive funding, and also played a prominent role working with the Council of Ekiti Obas and the committee for the creation of Ekiti State, adding that he utilized his robust network through his close friends — Olusola Saraki and Adamu Ciroma — to meet the late Head of State, Sani Abacha, for the creation of Ekiti State.
