An emergency plenary session is currently underway in Abuja, convened by the Senate.
The primary agenda for this session is to adopt the vote and proceedings of the last plenary session, which took place last Thursday.
The session officially commenced at 11:55 a.m. and boasts the attendance of approximately 54 senators.
President Bola Tinubu had previously sought the Senate’s confirmation for 10 Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), alongside the passage of the 2023 supplementary budget.
It has been reported that the Senate’s swift action is aimed at expeditiously gazetting the confirmation of the electoral commissioners to forestall any potential legal challenges or rulings against the process.
