 The Senate says it will wait until January to respond to the withholding of assent to the Electoral Art Amendment Bill by President Mohammad Ibrahim. Senate President Ahmed Lawan announced this after the chamber's executive session in Abu Jha. The closed-door session, which commenced at about 11.36 a.m., ended at about 11.40 a.m. Instead, the move would enable a consult with the House of Representatives, which is presently on recess and to seek the input of their constituents. Presently, the House of Representatives has gone on recess, and we all know the constitutional provision is for the Senate and the House of Representatives to jointly take the appropriate action. The Senate also resolved to consult with our constituents during our recess in January. The Senate believes that our constituents have a role to play as the major stakeholders in the laws that we make in the National Assembly. Is this a true reflection of what transpired in the closed session? Thank you.
