The sitting would be the first after the Speaker of the House, Aminu Tambuwal defected from the PDP to the APC.
The spokesperson for the Speaker, Imam Imam, had earlier told Premium Times that move is likely aimed at stopping Mr. Tambuwal from entering the assembly to preside as speaker.
He said: “All the entrances are locked and only one gate is used and everyone is totally frisked before being allowed in and only one person is allowed into the Assembly from any vehicle, others are asked to go back”
Immediately Tambuwal joined the APC his personal security guards were withdrawn by the Inspector General of Police
The PDP is currently putting pressure on him to resign having left the majority party.
