A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Bwari has restrained Senate President Bukola Saraki from declaring the seat of a former Minority Leader of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, vacant.

Justice Othman Musa on Wednesday also ordered Saraki not to impede Senator Akpabio’s access to the building or take any action aimed at “overreaching his privileges and rights as a senator pending the determination of the originating summons of the applicant.”

Justice Musa ordered service of the originating summons and other processes on Saraki through either the Clerk of the National Assembly, Clerk of the Senate or any other clerk or reasonable official of the National Assembly at the Assembly complex.

Saraki is a goal

Why is he scared now? No court can stop the senate from carrying out its constitutional duties. The ruling is ultra vire ab initio. More so, we already have a precedent from Kaduna.

But the senator resign his position as Senate minority leader.
If I may ask who is now the senate minority leader?
This is just not right.

Yet 2 seats of defected legislators were declared vacant in Kaduna. Naija and double standards.
