The National Assembly has
postponed its resumption from September 25 to resume October 9.
Mohammed Sani-Omolori, clerk of
the assembly, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
He attributed the development to
the primary elections of political parties.
The All Progressives Congress
(APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have scheduled their primaries
within the next two weeks.
Sani-Omolori said members of the
assembly were expected to resume by 10am on the new date.
“This is to inform all
distinguished senators and honourable Members that resumption of plenary
session earlier scheduled for Tuesday, 25th September has been postponed to
Tuesday 9th October due to the activities of the primaries of the political
parties,” the statement read.
“All distinguished senators and
honourable members are expected to resume plenary session by 10 am on the 9th
of October, please.”
The request of the approval of
N242 billion by President Muhammadu Buhari for the 2019 polls and the passage
of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) amendment bill are some
of the matters pending at the national assembly.
Lawmakers loyal to Buhari have
accused Senate President Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house
of representatives, of refusing to reconvene the assembly for a selfish reason.
