Saraki, Ekweremadu for trial June 27

From Fred Itua and Godwin Tsa,Abuja

SENATORS elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday, formally resolved to withhold their for the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government.
They cited the actions of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government to- wards their party since taking over the central government as reasons.
The resolution was taken following the court summon on the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, along with the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, over alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Rules.
The Senators who met at a secret location in Abuja said they would communicate their new position to the national leadership of the party, after which it would be publicly announced at a press conference.
A source at the meeting said a delegation comprising one Senator from each of the geo-political zones, along with Ekweremadu, would convey the position of the PDP Senate caucus to the leadership and report back to- day.
Meanwhile, the Federal High Court in Abuja , yesterday, officially summoned Saraki, Ekweremadu, former clerk to the National Assembly, Alhaji Salisu Maikasuwa and outgoing Deputy Clerk, Ben Efeturi, over their alleged involvement in the forgery of Senate Standing Order in 2015.
The summon was effected through a substituted service which was pasted at the corridor along the Senate President’s Office. According to the summon, Saraki, Ekweremadu, Maikasuwa and Efeturi are to appear before the court on Monday, June 27.
The inability of the Federal Government to effect service of court summons yesterday stalled their arraignment before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on the alleged forgery of the Senate Rules.
When the case came up yesterday, before Justice Yusuf Halilu none of the accused persons was in court and no lawyer appeared for them.
The prosecution counsel, David Kaswe, attributed the development to the inability of the bailiff to effect service on the accused persons.

Parts of the summons read: “By oral application dated 21st June, 2016 moved by D.E Kaswe, Principal State Counsel Federal Ministry of Justices in this case praying the court for:
“An order of this Honourable Court granting leave to the complainant/ applicant to serve the criminal summon on the defendants by substituted means to wit by pasting it at the Notice Board of the National Assembly Three Arms Zone, Abuja.
“And after hearing D.E Kaswe with A.A Kaltingo Esq, counsel for the complainant/ Applicant moved the court orally for the above relief. “
Also included in the summon, were statements already volunteered by Maikasuwa and Efeturi on their alleged involvement in the forgery.
Maikasuwa in his own statement said: “The Senate Standing Orders used in seventh Senate was not known to me. The Clerk of the Senate is in position to know. I was not aware of the amendment that was made to the Standing rules.”
However, Efeturi said the Senate leadership handed the 2015 Standing Rules as amended by their convention and practice to him.
But the Senate in its first reaction to the allegation, stated that amendment of the standing rules was done by the National Assembly bureaucracy.

Yeye people!

...Good move by PDP for once.

We are gradually sliding into dangerous times..

Very soon, PDP governors will ..

They should shove their useless into their smelling asses, nobody cares. PMB was elected to fight corrupt politicians, he will not be distracted or derailed by the same corrupt politicians.

The president has the of majority of Nigerians and that is the most relevant that a government should have.

I don't think this report is accurate enough because I can't PDP Senators ever pledging allegiance to Buhari at anytime neither have I seen any opposition Senators pledge allegiance to ruling government.



But if true, then the characters involved should tale up a part time career in comedy

Did pdp ever pledge alliance to buhari,or wish kind yey news be this.bit if its true those senators are bunch of clowns.

Expect more pipelines bombing in coming days.
Northern PDP = Boko Haram

Southern PDP = Militants

I wonder the direction this country is facing! We need intervention

Meanwhile Okowa and Jonathan should rein in and call their boys to order to stop bombing petroleum infrastructure in the ND

The man has failed A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ worse is heating the polity. Buhari must go, A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ when he does he should also take that houseboy Osinbanjo, with him.

Read the link again and not just headline.

Has PDP Senators ed Buhari in ANY key policy?

1. What was their position on Ministerial Screening?

2. What was their position on FG Vs Saraki in CCT?

3. What is their position on the ed appropriation Bill of 2016?

4. In what way have they 'ed' Buhari?



so what are they withdrawing from Buhari?


Again, I choose not to believe the report except they are comedians.

Some senators need to audition for roles in a comedy series. What has their or lack of it got to do with Buhari? Ekweremadu and his band of jesters had better put up a better opposition than this.

Who cares if they the President or not, we are solidly bebind him. PMB, we got your back.

A big bold L should be hung on the walls of PDP Secretariat. They need to take some courses in playing opposition. They are really learners.

Oga, they ed the ministers except Amaechi whom they staged a walk out..

In Saraki s matter, even APC Senators are on the same page with PDP..


We will soon know what they are withdrawing since you don't know that opposition s the ruling government for better leadership.

PDP was never an opposition party from May 29 last year, they have been seeing themselves as co-ruling party with APC especially since the day Ekweremadu became dsp, I that very day when wike and Fayose were in the senate chambers celebrating as if they just won Presidential election. PDP has been an agbaya party since May last year.

This has been the problem, we have never had an opposition party since APC became the ruling party, may be with the pdp senators stand now, we may begin to see an emerging opposition, but I have my doubts, those guys were never ready or bargained for the position they found themselves now.

Were they ing him before??
Good riddance to cancerous rubbish!!!
