The Senate is currently in a closed-door meeting, only minutes into the start of today’s session, prompted primarily by the list of ministerial nominations reported to have been provided by the Presidency.
Soon after taking petitions, which is the sixth item on the Order Paper, the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, declared that the Senators should go into an executive session, after the announcement by the leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti Central).
At 11:59 a.m., the Senate went into closed session.
The meeting may be regarding President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet nominations.
According to a source, the list is already causing issues among Senators, which explains the necessity for the meeting.
Recently, the President of the Senate met with key stakeholders which went on for several hours.
According to the source, the President of the Senate already has the list, which may be read after the closed-door meeting or next week because there will be no plenary tomorrow.
