The Federal Government has lined up 15 witnesses as it is set to open its case against Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu. Both men have been charged to court alongside the Clerk and Deputy Clerk of the National Assembly, Salissu Maikasuwa and Benedict Efeturi for allegedly forging the Senate Standing Rules 2015. In the court summons pasted on the Notice Board of the National Assembly on Tuesday, about 15 witnesses were listed by the Federal Government to testify against the defendants. Among the witnesses are Senator Solomon Ewuga, Senator Ita Enang, Senator Ajayi Borrofice, Senator Kabiru Marafa, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, Senator Abu Ibrahim, Senator Ahmad Lawan and David Igbodo, an Assistant Superintendent of Police. The Senate has condemned the Federal Government for the charges and has said it is simply a ploy by the government to attempt to change the Senate leadership.

It is a ploy to change the senate leader from the west to the north. Nigerians, how long can we continue with this?

hahahah, I feel pity for Saraki, this APC tenure is really giving him some harsh lesson on politics and loyalty! I hope he knows that Tinubu is behind all his predicaments!?

This is where inordinate ambition had landed Saraki! No matter how hard the Senate tries to deny this allegation, a scape goat in the person of Bukola Saraki will still be sacrificed on the altar just for one reason - desperation! I don't expect any of these SINators to own up that they forged the Senate Rule just to put Saraki there by all means
so that some of them can corner the juicy committees, however, let it be known by all and sundry that what these "selected senators" did against the Rule of the Senate is criminal in nature and will not be condone and I suggest, should not be condone.
