Drama As Some Senators Attend Reps Plenary Out Of Ignorance.

A little spectacle unfolded on Wednesday when a few senators defied the custom of parliamentary procedures for budget presentation and joined the House of Representatives session.

This took place before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s appearance in the parliament to deliver the 2024 budget to the National Assembly during a joint session.

At around 11:10 a.m., Tinubu and a small entourage of ministers, advisers, and governors entered the assembly.

Senate senators are required by parliamentary procedure and long-standing custom to convene a brief plenary session in the Senate chamber before moving as a group—rather than separately—into the House of Representatives chamber for the joint session.
