The Senate on Tuesday adjourned for a week following the inability of the red chamber to form a quorum.

The chamber needs at least 38 senators to carry out legislative activities at plenary but our correspondent observed that 20 members were seated at the commencement of the day’s session.

The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki put the motion to a vote and members overwhelmingly backed it.

Investigations by our correspondent, however, revealed that many of the senators might have stayed away to enable them to carry out necessary preparations for their campaigns which would start on Sunday.
