Pro-buhari Senators Face One Year  Suspension by OyiboUgbo04: 6:14pm On Feb 26, 2018

Indications have emerged that ten pro- Buhari Senators who kicked against the new sequence of elections adopted by the legislative chamber, following amendment of the 2010 Electoral Act, last Wednesday, will be suspended for one year.

The Senator Samuel Anyanwu, PDP, Imo East led Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions is set to meet this week on the matter, and we gathered from a source in the Senate, that the 10 senators who opposed the bill could be placed on one year suspension.
 
 According to our source, the one year suspension will be issued not withstanding apologies rendered on the floor of the Senate on Thursday by Senator Ovie Omo- Agege, APC, Delta Central.Despite the apology, the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who presided over the session asked Omo-Agege to make his case before the Committee.
 
 It would be recalled that on February 14, while sitting was still on- going, ten Senators of the All Progressives Congress, APC walked out on the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki while he was still presiding, to address  Journalists, at the Senate Press Corps Centre,expressing their reservations and vehemently kicked against the bill.
 
The embittered senators describe the action as a rush, self-serving and targeted at the President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid, adding that the amendment was carried out in very bad faith which will not stand.
 
The ten aggrieved Senators were led by the immediate past Chairman of Northern Senators Caucus and former governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Abdullahi Adamu whose argument against the bill was truncated at the plenary session by Saraki. Other Senators that joined Senator Abdullahi Adamu in the protest were Abu Ibrahim (Katsina South); Ali Wakil (Bauchi South); Abdullahi Gumel (Jigawa North West); Umar Kurfi (Katsina Central); Yahaya Abdullahi (Kebbi North); Binta Garba Masi (Adamawa North); Ovie Omo-Agege (Delta Central); Andrew Uchendu (Rivers East); and Benjamin Uwajimogu (Imo North). The protesting senators who had claimed to be 59 in number, said that others could not join them because they were attending to some official matters at different locations.
Senator Abdullahi Adamu, was last week relieved of his position as Chairman of Northern Senators Forum.
