It appears there’s no peace yet for Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
On Monday, July 27, a fresh suit was reportedly filed at Federal High Court in Abuja by Senators against his election as President.
The Senators, under the Senate Unity Forum, are 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 spoke under the veil of anonymity to Punch Newspapers, stated that they have pressed the court to declare null and void, the inauguration of the 8th Senate as well as the election of the presiding officers.
Based on the revelations in the police report on the alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Order 2015, he said the group believes that the document used for the inauguration and the election were fake.
Speaking further, the Senate Unity Forum member, said they expect the state to commence a criminal prosecution against person and persons indicted in the alleged forgery scandal to serve as deterrent to others.
He was quoted to have 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”
