SENATE SHIFTS PLENARY OVER GOVERNMENT POLLS, JUST IN

The originally scheduled Senate plenary has been moved to March 21, 2023.

The last time the Red chamber met, the plenary session had been postponed to Tuesday, March 14, 2023 because of the governorship elections.

To give senators running for governorships the opportunity to participate in the elections and campaigns, Senate President Ahmad Lawan moved the plenary to March 14.

To engage in the campaigns and elections for governors and state assembly members, he declared, “We must unite.”

The Senate Clerk, Chinedu Akubueze, announced a further postponement of the plenary in a copy of the document.
