A video circulating on social media shows a senator challenging Senate President Godswill Akpabio for adopting measures swiftly without proper study.
In the video, Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume of Borno South chastised Akpabio for passing measures without informing members of the Red Chamber.
Ndume believes senators should be informed in advance so they can prepare to discuss bills before they become law.
The chief whip of the 10th Senate insisted on the presence of two-thirds of the senators before bills could be passed.
