This forgery allegation is laughable, senate rule are written by civil servants who are members of the executive ie clerk of senate,clerk of NASS. And open secret ballot is the best,just that it denied APC leaders the previlage of ringing and intimidating voters...

massinola:
I don't support forgery but this case will fail not because saraki and ekweremadu are innocent but because our president lacks the moral justification to call another corrupt. we only asked for the minimum qualifications of a president but we were presented with 15 SANs. this is the same person claiming to be fighting corruption. its well. any body can come on on me, I don't care but one thing is sure, we will continue to suffer until we learn to cry out against injustice.

Silentmind:
This government is hellbent in destroying this saraki guy

It very shameful that all the key players on this game of supremacy are elected by hungry suffering Nigerians . How can the executive that is primary obligations are to provide basics needs to it citizens is so insensitive to waste time and money on irrelevances .

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief Mike Ozekhome had condemned the charge filed against Saraki and Ekweremadu. His words: “I do not think that they have even looked at Section 3, Legislative Houses Privileges Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria which grants total immunity to legislators in act conducted on the floor of the house within the precinct of the National Assembly, whether in spoken form, in written form, by motion, bills, amendments,all of them spectacularly and completely privileged.

“Under Section 3 of that law, they also perhaps do not know that what they regarded as amended rules which provoked the whole of this political maneuvering is always the way it has always been done.

In 2003, you have 2003 amended rules, which is normally amended by the bureaucracy during the period of interregnum, when the National Assembly is on break and politics are going on.

“Neither the Senate President, nor his deputy nor the clerk amends the rule; it is done by the National Assembly bureaucracy, the civil servants who amend the rules to await the National Assembly.

“So after 1999, the one of 2003 was called amended rules, 2007 amended rules, 2011 amended rules, then you have 2015 amended rules. These rules are normally amended by the bureaucracy when the members of the National Assembly are being elected. It is that laws that guide the new Senate and House of Representatives’ members coming on board, not the old one.

“I think the people who raised this issue are the neophytes. They were new people in the Senate who did not know that is how it is always being done conventionally in a parliamentary system. They probably thought that some people went somewhere that morning to amend those rules.

Those rules are normally amended.” Ozekhome added that the case is more political. “It is all politics. My take on this is that the All Progressives Congress (APC) should take more than passing interest in what is going on.

If they succeed in removing the leadership like I warned last year, they will find a situation where the next Senate President and deputy will be PDP people. “This is not the time for all this, rather it is the time the presidency should engage the National Assembly to produce masses centred bills. Nigeria is no longer a banana republic,” he stated.

the position of Chief Ozekhome is well known considering his allegiance to PDP, senator Ita Enang [formerly PDP] who was a 2 term House of Rep member, 2 term Senator and d former Chairman of Senate Business and rule is primed enough to know d bureaucratic input in amending d Senate rule,will be handy in explaining to d court how d Senate rule is amended without d majority yes vote of d Senators. It will be an interesting time in d court for d pair dt conspired to surreptitiously amend d rule to buy d support of PDP to take the Senate Presidency and even dash PDP the Deputy!! Do have a nice time in court,Saraki and Ekweremadu!!!!
