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.
