Five All Progressives Congress

[APC] Senators have approached a

Federal High Court sitting in

Abuja to challenge the election of

the Senate President, Abubakar

Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike

Ekweremadu.

The senators are:

Abu Ibrahim

Kabiru Marafa

Ajayi Boroffice

Gbenga Ashafa

Suleiman Othman Hunyuki

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.
