<p>The National Assembly did not disclose the specific matters to be deliberated upon.</p>
<p>Lawmakers had earlier suspended plenary to allow more time for the defence of the 2026 budget proposals by Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).</p>
<p>However, indications emerged over the weekend that the House of Representatives may convene for an emergency sitting to consider matters arising from the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. This follows the recent release of the 2027 general election timetable by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).</p>
<p>The decision to reconvene was reportedly conveyed to lawmakers in an internal memorandum issued by the Office of the Speaker, according to a statement released on Friday night by the House spokesman, Mr. Akin Rotimi.</p>
<p>The INEC timetable has sparked debate over certain dates that are expected to clash with the Ramadan period, which is projected to fall between February 7 and 8, 2027. Several Nigerians, including senators, have raised concerns about the potential conflict, arguing that the fasting period could hinder electoral activities.</p>
<p>Tuesday&#8217;s session is therefore expected to consider possible adjustments to the electoral timetable to ensure that the Ramadan period does not interfere with scheduled election activities.</p>
