It is also reported that the residences of the two key principal officers of the Senate are under siege, the hallowed chamber is unlikely to hold plenary today.

According to the Daily Post, some political pundits attribute the whole development as a political scheming by the presidency to forestall the grand plan by the lawmakers who are members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, from defecting en masse to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, today.

Meanwhile, there is uneasy calm in the National Assembly as many of the lawmakers are seen in groups meeting to find a way out of the looming political impasse.
