Five All Progressives Congress [APC] Senators, Abu Ibrahim,
Kabiru Marafa, Ajayi Boroffice, Gbenga Ashafa, and Suleiman Othman
Hunyuki, have approached a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja to
challenge the election of the SenatePresident, Abubakar Bukola Saraki
and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.
In an originating summons filed by their legal team headed by Mamman
Mike Osuman and Dele Adesina, both SANs, the aggrieved Senators urged
the court to declare their election a nullity as it violates section 60
of the 1999 Constitution [as amended]and rule 110 of the Senate Standing
Orders 2015 [as amended].
They argued that the Senate Standing Orders 2015 upon which Saraki
and Ikweremadu were elected, is a product of invalid, illegal,
unconstitutional and want them to be set aside.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole has fixed August 5, for hearing.
