BREAKING: Senate adjourns sitting over lack of quorum

The Senate on Tuesday adjourned plenary to Wednesday after about ten
minutes of sitting over lack of quorum.

Tuesday's sitting was attended by five Senators out of 109 and after
the opening prayers by the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, Senator
Olushola Adeyeye moved for adjournment.

Adeyeye said it was not normal in parliamentary practice for sitting
to take place when a quorum was not formed.

"Mr. President, distinguished colleagues, you can see that we have not
formed a quorum. So, I want to move for adjournment to Wednesday. I so
moved. "

Seconding the motion, Senate Deputy Minority leader, Emmanuel Bwacha
said the adjournment was appropriate, and the motion was adopted by
the Senate President.

Those present at the plenary that started exactly 10:31am were: Senate
President, Senator Bukola Saraki; Senator Philip Aduda; Senator
Emmanuel Bwacha; Senator Olushola Adeyeye; Senator Shaba Lafiagi.
