 ‘Conference Hall’ – Senators complain over poor quality of reconstructed Senate Chamber Senators on Tuesday expressed anger over the condition of the reconstructed Chamber, which they described as a ‘mere conference room’. Controversy has trailed the refurbished Senate Chambers since plenary resumed in the facility last week. Last Tuesday’s plenary was trailed by confusion as some Senators quarreled over sitting arrangements in the renovated chamber. During plenary on Tuesday, complaints over the standard of the Chambers led to a rowdy session which lasted for about 15 minutes and eventually forced the Senate into executive session. The Chief Whip of the Senate and lawmaker representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, who raised the issues through Order 42 of the Senate Standing Rules, said, “What is supposed to be a Chamber, has been turned into a Conference Hall”, a development which he said is not acceptable. “Mr President, I rise to make disturbing observations on this supposedly renovate

LISA MARIE PRESLEY TO BE BURIED NEXT TO HER SON IN GRACELAND. (PHOTO).


Lisa Marie Presley who died at 54 after a sudden cardiac arrest on Thursday - will be laid to rest at Graceland next to her late son Benjamin Storm Presley Keough, it has been revealed.

Lisa Marie's final resting place will be at Graceland, next to her beloved son Ben,' a rep told newsmen. 

Benjamin was 27 when he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 2020, which triggered 'unrelenting grief' for his mother Lisa Marie.


Graceland is Elvis Presley's famous Memphis mansion that will now be split between Lisa Marie's 14-year-old twins Harper Vivienne and Finley and her actress daughter Riley Keough. 


In 2020, Benjamin was laid to rest in the Meditation Garden at Graceland with his family including his grandfather, Elvis Presley, great-grandmother, Gladys Presley, great-grandfather, Vernon Presley and great-great-grandmother, Minnie Mae Presley. 

Benjamin's father is Lisa Marie's first husband Danny Keough, whom she married in 1988 and divorced in 1994.


Lisa Marie was rushed to a hospital after paramedics were able to reestablish her pulse, TMZ reported on Thursday. 


But her mother Priscilla Presley shared a statement announcing that her daughter had died later in the day. 


'It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,' she said, according to People.

In August last year Lisa Marie wrote an essay about her son Benjamin's death to mark National Grief Awareness.


'I can understand why people may want to avoid you once a terrible tragedy has struck. Especially a parent losing their child because it is truly your worst nightmare,' she wrote in her essay, which was published by People. 


In the emotional essay, Lisa Marie admitted that she had kept her distance from the parents of other people whose children died by suicide, something that seemed to haunt her.

Benjamin's burial was the first at Graceland in 40 years, since Elvis' grandmother passed away in 1980, according to The Daily Memphian.

It was also the first burial at Graceland since the iconic home was opened for public tours for The King of Rock and Roll's fans. 


Benjamin's sister, actress Riley, shared a number of photos of her late brother at the time, just weeks after his passing.


'Mornings are the hardest. I forget you're gone. I can't cry because of the fear that I will never stop. A pain that's new to me. You,' she said.


'There are no words for you. Angel is the closest I could think of. Pure light. Baby brother. Best friend. Wild man. Intellectual. Witness to my life. Twin soul. Protector,' she added.
