The originally scheduled Senate plenary has been postponed 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.
He said, “We have to adjoin for all of us to participate in the campaigns and elections of the governors and states assembly members.”
The Senate Clerk, Chinedu Akubueze, announced a further postponement of the plenary in a copy of the document.
