five Senators out of 109 and after the opening prayers by the Senate President,

“Mr. President, distinguished
colleagues, you can see that we have not formed a quorum. So, I want to move
for adjournment to Wednesday. I so moved. ”

and the motion was adopted by the Senate President.
Those present at the plenary that
started exactly 10:31am were: Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki; Senator
