The Senate has adjourned its plenary till February 28, 2023 to enable lawmakers partake in electioneering campaigns ahead of the February 25th Presidential and National Assembly Elections.
The Senate had earlier said that it would adjourn plenary next week to allow lawmakers to have time for campaigns for the forthcoming elections.
The senate made announcement when it resumed a three-week break after it adjourned plenary on December 28, 2022.
The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, during the plenary that after the week’s work, they’d suspend plenary for the sake of the elections.
He noted that 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 might suspend activities this week if it can deal with urgent issues requiring its attention so it does not have to sit next week.
