Marafa, Ajayi Boroffice, Gbenga Ashafa, and Suleiman Othman Hunyuki,
have approached a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja to challenge the
election of the SenatePresident, Abubakar Bukola Saraki and his
deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.
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.
