Senate threatens Buhari with impeachment as
Melaye threatens to beat up Tinubu
ABUJA- STRONG indications emerged Tuesday
that the alleged forgery case of 2015 Standing
Order between the Senate and the presidency
has taken a different dimension as the Senate
was said to have threatened President
Muhammadu Buhari with impeachment.
Part of this was when the Executive session of
the Senate Tuesday went rowdy as it almost
became a free for all between the Chairman,
Senate Committee on the Federal Capital
Territory, Senator Dino Melaye, All Progressives
Congress, APC, Kogi West and the Chairman,
Women Affairs, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, APC,
Lagos Central.
Soon after resumption Tuesday from its two
weeks break, the Senate went into a closed door
session which lasted for one to discuss among
others, how to move the rd chambers forward,
devoid of crisis, just as the meeting was
designed to bury the hatchet among members
where those with cases against the leadership of
the Senate would withdraw for peace to return
to the upper chambers.
At the meeting, the mood of well over ninety
percent of the senators was to suspend those '
erring' members in the Senate Unity Forum, SUF
who have dragged the Senate President, Senator
Bukola Saraki, his deputy, Senator Ike
Ekweremadu and others to court over alleged
forgery of the 2015 Senate Standing Order.
A senator who spoke with Vanguard said that
the mood of the Senate was for the suspension
of those senators and for the upper chambers to
prove the supremacy of the legislature as well
as teach the presidency and the executive a
lesson that the National Assembly and the
Senate in particular be left to carry out its
legislative duties effectively without any
interference.
According to the Senator, the Upper chambers
resolved that there was no case of forgery of the
Standing Orders and asked that those involved
should withdraw the case from the court.
