JUST IN:  Senate in closed-door session to discuss Buhari’s refusal to assent Electoral Bill

The Senate, on Tuesday, took a new action by going into a closed session to take a position on President Muhammdu Buhari refusal to assent to the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill.

Senate President Ahmad Lawan sauntered into the Chambers, took the opening prayers at 10.42a.m. and announced that the upper chamber would go into a closed session.

President Buhari had rejected the Electoral Bill, citing security, cost and other implications on the country’s electoral system and political parties.
