Marafa, Ashafa Seek To Stop Constitution Of Senate Committees by Nobody: 12:19pm On Jul 28, 2015
Five members of the the pro-Ahmed Lawan group in the Senate have asked a Federal High Court in Abuja to stop any move to constitute any standing or ad hoc committees of the Senate on the strength of the allegedly forged rules of the upper legislative chamber.

Justice Gabriel Kolawole has reserved ruling on the ex parte application till 2pm today (Tuesday).

The plaintiffs in the suit, FHC/ABJ/CS/651/2015, are Senators Abu Ibrahim, Kabir Marafa, Ajayi Boroffice, Olugbenga Ashafa and Suleiman Hunkuni.

They are all members of the All Progressives Congress-backed‎ Unity Forum which supported Lawan for the position of the Senate President but lost to Bukola Saraki on June 9, 2015 during the first session of the 8th Senate.

Joined as six defendants to the suit are Saraki, Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu; the Clerks of the National Assembly and the Senate and the National Assembly.

‎The five senators, through their ex parte application moved by their lead counsel, Chief Mamman (SAN), on Tuesday urged Justice Kolawole to restrain the defendants in the suit from constituting the various committees pending the hearing and determination of a separate motion on notice for an interim injunction.

The singular prayer in the ex parte application reads, “An interim order of injunction restraining the 1st, 2nd and 5th defendants/respondents (Saraki, Ekweremadu and the Senate) from constituting the Chairman and Deputy Chairmen of committees, or sub-committee whether Standing and ad hoc committees on the basis of the provisions of the Senate Standing Orders 2015 (as amended) or any other order and any other set of rules pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.”

They should as well ask the court to scrap the 8th Senate pending the determination of a case that may take 2 years to reach supreme court.

I see a new party emerging from APC, a new alliance to be made with the opposition parties.the quest for more power has destroyed APC and I don't see them coming back as one family.the real truth behind this is karma which is a bitchh what ever you sow so shall you reap. APC sowed hate and lies against PDP and brought them down now they are doing the same to themselves. A classic example of this scenario is during world war ii after the allied forces succeeded in bringing Nazi regime down they turn on each other.

The only hope we have is sai buhari to try to reunite the party members together and he should not make all the hardwork of jagaban to go in vain.

Give God what belongs to God and give Cesar what belongs to Cesar. In summary what ever is due for tinubu should be given to him
