Senate plans plenary adjournment next week for campaigns

The Senate will adjourn plenary next week to enable lawmakers to campaign for the forthcoming general elections.

Senate President Ahmad Lawan stated this this on the floor during plenary in Abuja on Tuesday.

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.

Lawan said, “We are prepared to sit up to Friday this week to attend to all issues requiring our attention, so we don’t have to sit next week in view of the forthcoming elections.”
