The Senate on Tuesday explained why it approved the emergency rule declared by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Rivers State, behind closed doors in conformity with the rules of the Upper Chamber.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, gave the explanation while briefing reporters on the midterm activities of the 10th Senate.
Critics had accused the Red Chamber of secretly voting in support of the Rivers emergency rule instead of giving such approval at open plenary after open voting.
