To prevent potential legal challenges against the appointment of newly confirmed Resident Electoral Commissioners , the Nigerian Senate will convene an emergency plenary session today.
A coalition of 17 Civil Society Organizations has petitioned the Senate, urging them to reject Umoren and Ehimeakne due to their alleged involvement in partisan activities. Despite these objections, the Senate proceeded with their confirmation. In addition to addressing the REC appointments, the Senate will also consider and approve the report of the joint National Assembly Committee on Appropriations on the N2.17 trillion Supplementary Appropriation Bill for 2023. Once approved, the Supplementary Budget will be transmitted to President Tinubu for his assent.
