Specifically, EFCC interrogator asked Omolori to reveal whether he would apply the Senate Rule of secret balloting or open balloting in the conduct of the election of the presiding officers of the 9th National Assembly.

The manner of the interaction suggested that the commission’s interrogator wanted a situation in which Omolori is coerced into adopting the open balloting method for the conduct of the 9th NASS leadership election.

When contacted, authorities at the EFCC confirmed Omolori’s interrogation.

The crucial moment in Omolori’s stay at the EFCC was the seizing of his international passport.

It was also learnt that other key officials of the National Assembly including the Clerk of the Senate, Clerk of the House of Representatives and their deputies would be invited to the commission on Thursday, May 16.

Before Omolori’s invitation, the former Clerk to the National Assembly, Salisu Abubakar Maikasuwa, was equally quizzed.

Meanwhile, some senators-elect have vehemently kicked against alleged plans to reintroduce Open Voting Pattern in the election of 9th National Assembly leadership.

The federal lawmakers mostly from the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said the option of open voting was contrary to the open-secret system contained in the 2015 version of the Senate rule book.

The senators say the secret ballot system is in line with international best practices in many developed countries.
