On Tuesday, October 9, 2018, senators resumed from their annual recess after spending 75 days out of the hallowed chamber.
Senate President Bukola Saraki had, on July 24, in line with the Senate legislative calendar, adjourned for its annual holiday to resume on Tuesday, September 25 after an attempt to remove him and his deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.
Saraki, after allegedly being blocked by security agents from leaving his home and Ekweremadu under siege by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to pave the way for their ouster at plenary, had stormed the National Assembly and presided over plenary where 17 senators dumped the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and immediately adjourned for recess.
