Saraki, Ekweremadi Set To Be Impeached by salterswan: 1:25pm On Jul 24, 2015
Some aggrieved Senators on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have vowed that embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu as well as the other controversial principal holders would be impeached next week when the House resumes.

Senator Kabiru Marafa who stated this on behalf of Pro-Lawan legislators stressed that impeachment beckons on Tuesday, July 28; adding that Saraki and Ekweremadu were occupying illegal offices and would soon be swept out.

Marafa in an exclusive interview with Post Nigeria lamented that the clandestine alteration was carried out and criminally smuggled in by fifth columnists in a deliberate attempt to sabotage the activities of the President, Muhammadu Buhari in order to slow down governance.

Marafa who first raised this on the floor of the House just a day after the inauguration of the 8th Senate pointed that he was actively part of the 7th Senate and at no point did the amendment of the Senate standing order surface on the floor of the house as stated in Order 110.

He cited Order 110 and 3 (e1), “Any Senator desiring to amend any part of the rule shall give reason and write to the President of the Senate after which the process of amending the relevant section will be done.”

Speaking with journalists during an interactive session Marafa disclosed ‘‘in my opinion, corruption does not stop at stealing money alone. The standing order was forged.

“There was no record of amending the standing order in the Seventh Senate, I was an active member of the Seventh Senate and there was no record of any amendments. Hence, the action must be duly investigated to know who did what and why?”
On the basis of Marafa’s claims, Senator Suleiman Othoman Hunkuyi had approached the Police calling for their intervention on the alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Order which prompted them to storm the National Assembly to obtain information from relevant officials and lawmakers.

Senator Hunkuyi told the Police that the “So called new Standing Order 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. http://www.post-nigeria.com/saraki-ekweremadi-set-to-be-impeached/

This is what happen to men that allows personal, selfish reasons to overrule objectivity, ethics and collective decision.

They came through the back door, and for fear of the repercussion of their action decided to shut down the NASS.

They don't know the work of legislators all they have been doing is meeting with foreign ambassadors.
