The senate has gone into a closed session to deliberate on President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of emergency rule in Rivers state and the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

 

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 in pursuant to Order 135 of the senate rules.

 

The motion was seconded by senate minority leader Abba Moro.
