ABUJA—Justice Ademola Adeniyi of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, yesterday, struck out the suit that sought to remove the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu from office on the premise that the Senate Standing Orders 2015, that produced them, was forged. Justice Adeniyi terminated further hearing on the matter after the plaintiffs who are five Senators Abu Ibrahim, Kabir Marafa, Ajayi Boroffice, Olugbenga Ashafa and Suleiman Hunkuni, applied to withdraw the suit. At the resumed sitting on the case yesterday, the plaintiffs, through their lawyer Chief Mamman Osuman (SAN), said their decision to discontinue further hearing on the matter was in view of the fact that the essence of the suit had been overtaken by events.  They noted that the Senate leadership under Saraki and Ekweremadu, despite the pendency of the suit, had carried out several legislative actions, among which they said included the constitution of different committees for the 8th Senate. Following their application, Justice Adeniyi, in a short ruling yesterday, struck out the suit. Meanwhile, none of the defendants sent a legal representation before the court yesterday. Specifically, the plaintiffs had prayed the court to stop both Saraki and Ekweremadu from further exercising the powers of the Senate President and Deputy Senate President, respectively. In their suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/651/2015, the plaintiffs, all members of All Progressives Congress, APC, also urged the court to stop the two defendants from relying on the provisions of the alleged forged Senate Standing Orders 2015, to conduct the affairs of the Senate. Equally joined as defendants in the suit were the Clerk of the National Assembly, the Senate itself and the National Assembly. The plaintiffs were all members of the ‘Unity Forum’ in the Senate that supported Ahmed Lawan to emerge as the Senate President in the election that was won by Saraki on June 9. Justice Gabriel Kolawole, who earlier presided over the matter as a vacation judge, had in a ruling he delivered on July 28, declined to issue an interim order of injunction against Saraki and Ekweremadu [url]http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/court-strikes-out-forgery-suit-against-saraki-ekweremadu/ [/url] 4 Likes |

APC lies being debunked daily. It's increasingly becoming apparent that this government is a joke! After all the noise of Senate rule forgery by the DSP, they couldn't even make a good presentation in court, only for their petition to be struck out. What a shame! 91 Likes 7 Shares |

Tkester: Read the report very well, the petitioners withdrew the case and the judge struck it out. Am sure the case was withdrawn as a result of the reconciliation effort by leaders of the party. 27 Likes |

sampaiolukap: Am sure you missed the news about reconciliation move by the leaders of senate unity forum and the like minds. They can't go on fighting forever. The crisis is having a serious effect on their legislative duties as they've done little or nothing since inauguration. So, any attempt at a peaceful resolution is a welcome development. 6 Likes |

seunmsg:Lolz which imaginary reconciliation are you talking about? Just last week they called a press conference to condemn the ongoing EFCC investigation.Face it dear, these losers know they have no case and are only trying to save face. They were only trying to impress ignorant supporters of theirs like your self and boost the propaganda by their media outlets like the PUNCH and Nation newspapers 50 Likes 4 Shares |

chukwudi44: Actually, it was PDP senators (saraki's backbones) that firstly issued a press statement condemning the EFCC investigation before senators of the unity forum did same. That's to show it was a procedural disagreement that most senators agreed was wrong. It's so funny you are now trying to deny knowledge of the reconciliation move after people like you told us it won't work. 8 Likes |

Court in Nigeria are the group worsening the situation of this country, i have not heard or witness justice going side by side with our constitution. Either it is lack of merit or grounds, NBA contributes to our bad name in the world. |

What would the court have done? To say they are guilty. Nigeria courts and judges haven't the capacity to nail political elites. It's normal to let them off the hook. |

the stack ignorance demonstrated by @OP here is mind boggling. a particular motion was struck out and not the entire suit but the @OP is here probably because he wants to make his team of Wailers feel they've defeated APC. 4 Likes |
