The Senate has fixed Tuesday, February 10, 2026, for an emergency plenary session following the directive of the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio.
The decision to reconvene lawmakers was announced on Sunday in a statement signed by the Clerk of the Senate, Emmanuel Odo, who urged all senators to attend the sitting scheduled for 12:00 pm.
“The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has directed the reconvening of plenary for an emergency sitting on Tuesday, February 10th, 2026.”
No official reason was given for the sudden emergency session.
However, the development comes just days after the Senate, on February 4, rejected a proposed amendment to the Electoral Act.
The amendment sought to make the real-time electronic transmission of election results mandatory, a move widely viewed as crucial to improving transparency and credibility in Nigeria’s electoral process.
