Senate President David Mark
In a unanimous decision devoid of a dissenting voice, the entire 100 senators present in Tuesday’s plenary in the Senate endorsed the state of emergency declared by President Goodluck Jonathan in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States last week. Although only 72 senators constitute the two-third majority required to approve emergency rule, only nine of the entire 109 senators in Senate were absent at the plenary Tuesday.
