As tension continues to mount regarding the planned end bad governance protest, the Nigerian Senate is to hold an emergency meeting on Wednesday this week 31/7/24.
A circular endorsed by the Clerk, Chinedu Akubueze this Monday, said the meeting at the instance of the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, was of “National Importance” but did not give further details on the emergency meeting.
The meeting which will be held just one day before the commencement of the nationwide planned protest against hunger and hardship is expected to commence at 12 noon and may also dwell on the death of their colleague , Senator Ifeanyi Ubah of Anambra South.
