The president had initially fixed separate meetings between All Progressive Congress and opposition lawmakers slated for Sunday and Monday respectively.
However, sources stated that the meeting was rescheduled because the People’s Democratic Party noted that they were not informed of the notice, hence could not let their members attend the meeting.
Meanwhile, the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan sat on the floor for Senator Omo-Agege to preside over the plenary.
According to Lawan, he was sitting on the floor because he was trying to get used to being a floor member.
