The Senate on Tuesday resumed plenary after a one-month recess to give way for the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections.

Senate President Bukola Saraki, who presided over plenary, had to adjourn the sitting due to the inability of the upper chamber of the National Assembly to form a quorum.

DAILY NIGERIAN observed that only eight Senators were in attendance during the Tuesday’s plenary.
