The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, has called for an emergency meeting of the leaderships of the two chambers of the National Assembly.

The meeting, expected to have in attendance principal officers of the Senate and the House of Representatives, is scheduled to hold Tuesday afternoon.

A source who confirmed the meeting to this newspaper said the meeting would touch on pressing national issues seeking the urgent attention of the National Assembly.

The officials are expected to meet for one hour beginning at noon.

The source added that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), Mahmood Yakubu, will then meet with the lawmakers at 1 p.m.

Issues expected to be on the agenda of the meeting include the string of defections in the political space, the rumoured plan to impeach Mr. Saraki and the pending 2019 elections supplementary budget, among others.

The leadership, our sources said, might consider the possibility of reconvening the National Assembly to discuss urgent and important national issues pending before the lawmakers.

Some APC senators, including Ali Ndume and Ahmed Lawal, have insisted that the long adjournment of the National Assembly by Mr. Saraki was not in the best interest of the country.

A media aide to Mr Saraki, Yusuph Olaniyonu, confirmed his principal is planning a meeting but declined to provide details.

The Senate and the House of Representatives proceeded on annual recess on July 24 to reconvene on September 25.

Every politician is selfish. from Buhari down to ward chairman. But when you portray attitude of live and let's live, that is being liberal. Plus when u put a Greater percentage of people's interest over urs.

Impeachment for what breach of law exactly?

This government just want everything to be done their way. Always using force and threats to achieve their selfish interest.

The grandmaster at his game of wits.....he is up to something sweeter than honey for this useless APC government of Buhari.

saraki is a democrat...like him or hate him

There is no sense in not calling the NASS from recess to debate this INEC money

The purpose of the recess has been achieved. Everyone has had an introspection about where we want to go democratically and the thugs in Government and APC have been told in no uncertain terms that this is not the time for madness

Saraki is making this move from a position of strength not weakness and thats what matters.

following a review with the NASS leadership am sure they will take a joint decision to recall the house for an emergency session to consider the virement.


Saraki has the temprament of a true leader. His sense of judgement is first class! Leadership is not about unnecessary stubbornness like we see with Buhari.
