The Senate on Tuesday said it would next week adjourn plenary to enable lawmakers to carry out campaigns for the forthcoming general elections.
Senate President, Ahmad Lawan disclosed this on the floor during plenary in Abuja.
Lawan said the break would enable lawmakers contesting for various offices during the general elections to carry out necessary campaigns in their various constituencies.
He however said the Senate may possibly close shop this week if it is able to deal with urgent issues requiring its attention so it does not have to sit next week.
“We are prepared to sit up to Friday this week to attend to all urgent issues requiring our attention, so we don’t have to sit next week in view of the forthcoming elections,” Lawan said.
