He expressed that the statement made on national television was an embarrassment to the lawmakers and amounted to an abuse of his privilege as a senator.
Solomon strongly contested the accusation, emphasizing that it was unfounded and damaging to the reputation of the Ninth Assembly.
Refuting Allegations and Accountability:
Senator Solomon firmly stated that it was implausible for senators or their aides to remove any item from the National Assembly without proper documentation and accountability.
He highlighted that every item taken from the offices was meticulously checked and legally approved, with corresponding deductions made from the lawmakers’ severance packages.
Therefore, Solomon’s motion sought to address the unjust implications made by Oshiomhole’s statement.

Apology Demanded or Ethical Inquiry:
Senator Solomon called for a formal apology from Senator Oshiomhole to the House for making unsubstantiated allegations.
Failing to receive an apology, Solomon proposed that Oshiomhole be subjected to the scrutiny of the Ethics and Privilege Committee.
This committee would investigate the matter further, ensuring fairness and adherence to the principles of parliamentary conduct.
Conclusion:
The demand for an apology from Senator Adams Oshiomhole by some senators in the Ninth Assembly reflects their determination to uphold the integrity of their institution.
The accusations of vandalism against lawmakers have been refuted, and the lawmakers have called for a proper investigation to address the issue.
