ABUJA-
STRONG indications emerged Tuesday that the alleged forgery case of 2015
Standing Order between the Senate and the presidency has taken a different
dimension as the Senate was said to have threatened President Muhammadu Buhari
with impeachment. Part of this was when the Executive session of the Senate
Tuesday went rowdy as it almost became a free for all between the Chairman,
Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Dino Melaye, All
Progressives Congress, APC, Kogi West and the Chairman, Women Affairs, Senator
Oluremi Tinubu, APC, Lagos Central.
Soon after resumption
Tuesday from its two weeks break, the Senate went into a closed door session
which lasted for one to discuss among others, how to move the rd chambers
forward, devoid of crisis, just as the meeting was designed to bury the hatchet
among members where those with cases against the leadership of the Senate would
withdraw for peace to return to the upper chambers. At the meeting, the mood of
well over ninety percent of the senators was to suspend those ‘ erring’ members
in the Senate Unity Forum, SUF who have dragged the Senate President, Senator
Bukola Saraki, his deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and others to court over
alleged forgery of the 2015 Senate Standing Order.
A senator who spoke
with Vanguard said that the mood of the Senate was for the suspension of those
senators and for the upper chambers to prove the supremacy of the legislature
as well as teach the presidency and the executive a lesson that the National
Assembly and the Senate in particular be left to carry out its legislative
duties effectively without any interference
According to the Senator, the Upper chambers resolved that there was no case of forgery of the Standing Orders and asked that those involved should withdraw the case from the court.
