hehehehe........The Senate on Wednesday suspended Senator Ali Ndume for six months for raising false allegations against the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Dino Melaye through order 14 and 15 at plenary last week.
The suspension follows report of Senator Samuel Anyanwu-led committee on Public Petitions, Ethics and Privileges which recommended for his suspension for one legislative year.
The motion he raised also called for the investigation of Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi East Senatorial district who allegedly did not graduate from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria as claimed by an online newspaper.
The plenary presided by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu as Saraki had to step down since he was involved for fairness discussed extensively and having weighed options resolved that Ndume be suspended.
However, the committee in its report exonerated the Senate President and Dino Melaye, pointedly concluded that suspension of Ndume was appropriate to serve as deterrent to others. Also
Senate President Bukola Saraki this morning read the letter President Buhari sent to the house for the confirmation of two ministerial nominees. The nominees are Suleiman Hassan from Gombe state and Stephen Ocheni from Kogi state. They are expected to take over the ministerial slots of former Minister of the Environment, Amina Mohammed who is now the new UN Deputy Secretary-General and James Ocholi, former Minister of state for Labor, who died in a fatal accident in March 2016.
