The decision was via voice votes when Governor Sule threw a question across that “those in support of the consensus congresses say aye, and those against say nay,” at that point majority of the voices said aye, only three voices that said nay.
Governor Sule, who pledged his commitment towards ensuring a smooth congresses in the state, directed all his appointees to go back to their electoral wards and ensure a hitch-free congress.
He said Senator Abdullahi Adamu should take charge of Nasarawa West, as Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, take charge of Nasarawa South, while himself and Senator Godiya Akwashiki will be in charge of Nasarawa North Senatorial District.
