Senators are currently meeting behind closed-doors few minutes into the commencement of today’s plenary, largely necessitated by the list of ministerial nominees believed to have been submitted by the Presidency.
Soon after taking the petitions, which is the fifth item in the Order Paper, the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, announced that the Senators should go into an executive session after the leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti Central) had made the announcement.
The Senate entered into the closed-door session at 11.59am.
THE WHISPERER gathered that the meeting may be about the Ministerial Nominees from President Bola Tinubu.
A senator from Cross River State who pleaded not to be named said that the list is already creating problem among the senators which explained the need for the meeting, just as before today, there was a meeting the President of the Senate had with major stakeholders yesterday and it lasted for several hours.A source told Vanguard that the President of the Senate was already in possession of the list which may be read after the closed door or next week since there will be no plenary tomorrow.
