Akpabio Summons Senators for Key National Issues Discussion
Godswill Akpabio, the Senate President, has officially summoned senators for a crucial discussion on national issues, with a plenary session set for Tuesday, February 17. This announcement was made by the Senate Clerk and communicated to newsmen in Abuja.
The summons comes despite the Senate's earlier adjournment until February 24. The recent reconvening of the Senate was prompted by controversies surrounding the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2026, particularly concerning a section that addresses the compulsory electronic transmission of election results.
The discussions during this session are expected to focus on significant decisions affecting national matters.
