Update on Electoral Bill 2021: The @NGRSenate & @HouseNGR have reviewed and passed the clause on party primaries. While the Senate approved direct, indirect and consensus for candidate nomination, the House approved only direct and indirect primaries. #fixelectionsng

With the @NGRSenate and @HouseNGR passing different versions of Clause 84 on party primaries, both chambers will go into conference to harmonize their position before re-transmiting the bill to the President for assent. #fixelectionsng

House of Reps in Closed Session

The House of Representatives is now in a closed doors meeting.

Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila announced the executive session after more than fifteen minutes of arguments among some principal officers, members and the Speaker.

For about twenty minutes, plenary came to a standstill as the Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase, House Leader, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, Katsina lawmaker, Sada Soli, Lagos members, James Faleke and Babajimi Benson argued in low tones.

Although, their conversation was not audible, it might not be unconnected to the resolve of the Speaker to reintroduce the bill and make amendments required by Mr. President
