During Thursday’s plenary, Senate President Godswill Akpabio and his predecessor, Senator Ahmed Lawan, got into a furious dispute about the Red Chamber’s official session hour.
As per the article by NEWS 360 INFO, the Senate plenary officially begins at 10 am as per Senate regulations. However, because politicians tend to arrive late, it has apparently been customary for sessions to begin considerably later in the 10th Senate, frequently at 11 am or even later.
On Thursday, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele proposed a formal amendment to the Senate’s rules to change the official sitting time from 10 to 11 a.m.
