The Senate is currently in a closed-door meeting few minutes into the commencement of today’s plenary.
The meeting is largely necessary due to the list of ministerial nominees believed to have been submitted by the Presidency.
The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, soon after taking petitions, which is the fifth item in the Order Paper, announced that the Senators should go into an executive session after the leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti Central) had made the announcement.
The Senate entered into the closed-door session at 11.59 a.m.
According to Vanguard, the meeting may be about the ministerial nominees from President Bola Tinubu.
A source revealed that the list is already creating problems among the Senators, which explained the need for the meeting.
Recall that there was a meeting the President of the Senate had with major stakeholders yesterday, which lasted for several hours.
The source further told Vanguard that the President of the Senate was already in possession of the list, which may be read after the closed-door meeting, or next week since there will be no plenary tomorrow.
