The Senate has entered a closed session to deliberate on President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of emergency rule in Rivers State and the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other elected officials.
The closed session was announced after Senate President Godswill Akpabio read a letter from Tinubu at plenary on Thursday.
Senate leader Opeyemi Bamidele subsequently moved a motion for a closed session, pursuant to Order 135 of the Senate rules.
The motion was seconded by the Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro.
