The statement read in part: “This is to inform all distinguished senators and honourable members of the National Assembly that the resumption of plenary sessions earlier scheduled for Tuesday, 26th January 2021 is hereby rescheduled for Tuesday, February 9, 2021.”

According to Amos, the deferment is to enable members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to participate in the registration and revalidation of the party’s membership, scheduled to begin on Monday, January 25.

Plenary sessions had been adjourned in December 2020 to allow the lawmakers take the Christmas and new year holidays.
