The National Assembly will today consider a letter by President Bola Tinubu on emergency rule declaration in Rivers State.
The letter to the two chambers of the Assembly was initially scheduled for reading to the members yesterday.
In the Senate, a motion for consideration of the letter was stood down twice, as members in the chambers were not enough to muster 73 votes required to approve a state of emergency.
Reports say to ensure that the motion was tabled today, senators who are out of Abuja are being recalled to attend the plenary.
The chairman of the Senate Committee on Inter-Parliamentary Affairs, Jimoh Ibrahim, who confirmed the development, assured that the debate and consideration of the proclamation would take place today.
