Oshiomhole noted that some commentators had suggested his change of dressing was due to the influence of political office
Senator Adams Oshiomhole, representing Edo North, has opened up on why he doesn't wear khaki to the Senate.
According to him, the reason is because of the chamber’s dress code.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Friday, the former Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, president said he had been cautioned several times against wearing his trademark khaki attire to plenary.
Oshiomhole said: “The ‘senator’ (wear) thing I need to clear it. I watched one analysis, where it was said that ”even Oshiomhole, power changes people. He no longer wears ‘khaki’.
“Do you know that I am not allowed with all my human right? I’m not allowed, I don’t have the right to wear those khaki to the Senate Because they have a dress code.
“And I have seen, I was there for a couple of times, they warned me, “please, this is not labour office.”
Oshiomhole noted that some commentators had suggested his change of dressing was due to the influence of political office, but clarified that it was a matter of compliance with Senate rules.
