ABUJA-SENATORS loyal to Senator Ahmed Lawan
operating under the aegis, Senators’ Unity
Forum, SUF have threatened to disrupt the
activities of the red Chambers when the
lawmakers resume plenary if Senate President
Bukola Saraki fails to reverse the appointment of
the principal officers
The group has also called on former President
Olusegun Obasanjo; former Common Wealth
Secretary- General, Emeka Anyaoku; Nobel
Laurate, Professor Wole Soyinka; former Chairman
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and a
chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Chief Audu Ogbeh; Ex- governor of Kaduna State,
Col. Dangiwa Umar; and Femi Falana, SAN to as a
matter of urgency intervene in the Senate
unfolding imbrioglio before the nation’s
parliament would be in crisis.

The senators who also threatened to cause a
stalemate in the chamber on resumption if the
Senate President Saraki did not address the issue
of alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Order
2015, said, “Can we continue to operate the
highest legislative chamber of the land using
forged standing order and violating the provisions
of even the forged one? When did Nigeria
descend this low?”
The senators, in a statement issued in Abuja
yesterday by their spokesperson, Senator Kabir
Marafa, Zamfara Central stressed that the ranking
rule was being violated in the appointment of
presiding officers despite the fact that the
leadership of the All Progressives Congress had
properly guided the presiding officers by
nominating ranking senators for the leadership
positions.
The SUF, however lamented that Saraki allegedly
disregarded the party’s directive by inaugurating
fresh senators as principal officers, just as they
vowed any attempt to impose former Akwa Ibom
State Governor, Godswill Akpabio as Minority
leader above other ranking Senators, adding that
Senators Eyinnaya Abaribe, James Manager,
George Sekibo, Emmanuel Paulker, Solomon
Bwacha, Sonni Ogbuoji, Andy Uba, Uche Ekwinife,
and Owan Enoh, among others, should not be in
chamber while a fresher like Akpabio should
become their leader.
The group said, “They violated rule 3 (2) to
appoint both Senators Ali Ndume and Bala Ibn
Na’Allah as leader and deputy leader of the
senate and now we hear another alleged
absurdity that Senator Godswill Akpabio may
emerge senate minority leader.”
Alleging that Akpabio was being favoured high
above his seniors in the chamber contrary to the
provisions of order 3 (2), the group said, “I swear
to God, we will not allow this impunity to stand
and a fresh one to be added. By the way won’t
somebody ask him, who constituted these
caucuses they are talking about?
“Who is the chairman or leader of North West
caucus for example? Who is the secretary? If
there is, who appointed or elected them, where
and using which law?
“We all know how the leadership of the political
parties and how they emerge. We know the
supremacy of the political party (section 65 -2b)
of the constitution. Let somebody tell us the
supremacy of any caucus and where it’s hinged.
“May be they want stalemate in the 8th senate
looking at how they are running the place. They
better shut it permanently than to reconvene and
attempt to run it without respecting the rules.
“Oga Senate President, please read order one.
They are misleading you. Nigeria No spoil reach
this level, God forbid !!
“We will force you on resumption to read order 1
and proceed by its provision. Unless if you want
reduce the red chamber into a jungle where
every body will do what he or she like to do and
nobody can call anybody to order !!
“Sir, (Senate President) you are the custodian
and greatest beneciary of the content of that red
book, if you choose to violate it, we would help
you to bring yourself down.”
