A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Monday struck out a suit seeking to stop the removal of Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu as Senate President and Deputy Senate President respectively.
The plaintiff in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/936/2018 had urged the court to declare that Saraki and Ekweremadu cannot be removed from office as President of the Senate and Deputy President of the Senate unless pursuant to a resolution supported by the votes of not less than 73 members of the Senate. The judge held that the plaintiff failed to show any credible evidence to persuade the court in any way to grant the declarative reliefs it sought from the court.
In the originating summons dated August 24, 2018, the group argued that by the clear and extant provisions of section 50 of the 1999 constitution, Saraki and Ekweremadu cannot be removed from their offices unless by a resolution of the Senate supported by the votes of not less than two-thirds majority of the members of the Senate.
