Source; The Punch, Senators opposed to the leadership of
the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on Monday filed a fresh suit at
Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking the nullification of the inauguration of
the 8th Senate carried out by the management of the National Assembly, on June
9.
A
member of the group, who confirmed the development to one of our correspondents
on conditions of anonymity, explained that one of their prayers was that the
court should declare the inauguration of the 8th Senate as well as the election
of the presiding officers as null and void.
He
said the group, based on the revelations in the police report on the alleged
forgery of the Senate Standing Order 2015, was of the view that the document
used for the inauguration and the election were fake.
He
added that the group expected the state to commence a criminal prosecution
against person and persons indicted in the alleged forgery scandal to serve as
deterrent to others.
He
said, “We are doing this in the interest of our great country because anybody
or group of people could wake up one day and conspire to ammend the Nigerian
Constitution without following due process, if the current case of forgery
scandal is not acted upon”
