List Of 14 Withnesses Against Saraki,ekweremadu,and What They're Telling D Court by callydon(m): 3:35am On Jul 14, 2016
Below are the fourteen witnesses to be called and what they will tell the court.
Fourteen witnesses and what they will tell the court
1. Suleiman Hukunyi – He is the secretary of the Unity Forum, the Senate caucus consisting of All Progressives Congress lawmakers who opposed the election of Mr. Saraki, preferring Ahmed Lawan instead. Days after the election of Messrs Saraki and Ekweremadu as the Senate presiding officers, he petitioned the Inspector General of Police, demanding criminal investigation into the allegation of forgery of Senate Rules.
The main thrust of the petition which would later land Mr. Saraki and his alleged conspirators in trouble was that the Standing Rules used for 2015 inauguration “purports to allow for secret instead of the open ballot system that has been prevalent in all Senate elections as permitted by the extant rules.” The infraction, he told the Police, arose from the “fraudulent production of rules without an approved consideration by the 7th Senate.” Mr. Hukunyi, according prosecution’s documents, including proof of evidence filed before the court, will testify how the
“forged” Rules were distributed to the Senators and also “tender some exhibits.”

2. Ita Enang – Now presidential senior assistant on Senate matters, he was in the 7th Senate, representing Akwa Ibom North, and serving as the Chairman of the Rules and Business. In January, he was accused of complicity in the “missing” 2016 budget during the budget impasse. Specifically, he was accused of “doctoring” the budget proposal which had earlier been presented by President Muhammadu Buhari. Contacted in the wake of the allegation by PREMIUM TIMES, he said he was between “my two bosses,” preferring not to refute or admit the charge.
In the forgery suit brought against the Senate leaders, he “will tell the court the position of the Senate Standing Order 2011 vis a vis purported Standing Order 2015.” Further, the Federal Government will rely on him to testify that the “proposal for the amendment of the 2011 Senate Standing Order was neither considered nor adopted.”

3. Solomon Ewuga – He was a member of the 7thSenate. He did not return to the 8th Senate, having pursued a failed governorship ambition in Nasarawa State. He is expected to “tell the court what he knows of the Senate Standing Order 2011” and “shall testify that the 7th Senate did not amend the 2011 Senate Standing Order.

4. Ogozy Nma – A National Assembly bureaucrat who is the Secretary Committee on Rules and Business. The Rules and Business Committee is regarded as the “life wire” of the legislature as it is responsible for scheduling of legislative businesses, including amendment of rules. By virtue of Mr. Nma’s schedules, the Federal Government wants him to tell the court “what he knows of the forged Senate Standing Order.” He might be required to tender some exhibits in court.

5. Daniel Adem – He is the Secretary of the Directorate of Legal Services of the National Assembly. He will also tell the court what he knows of the Senate Standing Order.

6. Dan’Azumi Doma – He led the investigation of the alleged conspiracy and forgery as the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of CIID. He will tell the court how the case was investigated and the outcome of the investigation. In his report, he had said the Senate Rules were actually altered with valid procedures stipulated by the extant rules that are the 2011 Rules. He will most likely tender the police investigative report before the court.

7. Ahmed Lawan – He was supported by the APC leadership to contest the Senate leadership position against Mr. Saraki. He was defeated. And Mr. Saraki refused to appoint him Senate Leader as demanded by the leadership of the ruling APC. In his statement to the police, he said, “The procedures for election into the two presiding offices are clearly stipulated in Order 2 (2(i) of the Senate Standing Rules 2011. That contrary to the provision of the above order, the Clerk to the National Assembly introduced and used order 3(3) e (ii) of the purported 2015 Standing Order”. He will therefore inform the court “that the Senate Standing Order 2011 was never amended”.

8. Abdullahi Gumel – A serving Senator who supported Mr. Lawan’s ambition as member of the Unity Forum, will inform the court that he was given the 2011 Rules during the induction course of the 8th Assembly, yet a “forged” 2015 Rules was used for the inauguration of the 8thAssembly days after the induction course.

9. Kabiru Marafa – The Zamfara Central Senator is Mr. Saraki’s most outspoken and harshest critic in the Senate. On different occasions, he asked Mr. Saraki to resign to “save the image of the Senate” or that his colleagues should impeach him (Mr. Saraki) in view of the Senate President’s corruption trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. The Federal Government wants him to inform the court that the 2011 Rules were never amended to prove that the 2015 Rules were altered “without procedure.”

10. Gbenga Ashafa – The Lagos Senator will inform the 7th Senate did not amend the Rules, thereby stating that 2015 Rules used for election of Messrs Saraki and Ekweremadu was not valid, and as such the election was null and void.

11. Ajayi Boroffice – The Ondo Senator known as loyalist of former Lagos Governor Bola Tinubu will also inform the court that Senate Standing Order 2011 was never amended.

12. Abu Ibrahim – He was the Deputy Minority Whip in the 7th Senate. He will also inform the court the document was not amended. It should be noted that he was part of the leadership of the 7thSenate which, according to Mr. Efeturi, passed the order to “amend” the Senate Rules.

13. David Igbodo – He is an Assistant Commissioner of Police who was part of the investigation. He will also inform the court how the case was investigated and the outcome of the investigation.

14. Babafemi Ojudu – He is a presidential adviser on political matter and served in the 7th Senate, representing Ekiti Central. He will inform the court that the 7th Senate, of which he was member, did not amend the 2011 Rules.

With these men standing up as prosecution witnesses, Saraki is done with, he may complete his term as the Senate President of the 8th Assembly, but where he goes from there, na only God fit talk am, as for wife beater Dino Melaye, he should start thinking of what he will do after 2019, because he won't return to the Senate, neither will he be welcomed back to the streets of Abuja to lead sponsored protests against high profile politicians like used to, the guys on the streets will stone him because he's not part of them any more. David Umaru of Niger state is one of major beneficiaries of "sai baba" and he bungled it he also should forget returning to the Senate, another ungrateful senator is Shehu Sani from Kaduna state, if Governor El Rufai allows him a second term, it will be at the Governor's peril. Tayo Alasoadura from Ondo Central in Ondo state is one of the persons supporting Saraki, he's finished already , he may run back to PDP if the exist beyond Sheriff's era.

All witnesses are Tinubu's goons and foot soldiers. Nigerians are blinded by what these guys are up to. Yes Saraki is corrupt, but I assure you in the best interest of the people he must stay.
He has been neutral in discharging his duties as the senate leader. It will spell trouble for Nigeria if Jagaban and Buhari succeed in their quest of getting rid of Saraki
