BREAKING: Court Halts Saraki’s Move To Declare Akpabio’s Seat Vacant
An FCT High Court sitting in Bwari has restrained Senate President Bukola Saraki from declaring the seat of former Minority Leader of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio vacant.
Justice Othman Musa on Wednesday also ordered Saraki not to impede Senator Akpabio’s access to the Senate building or take any action aimed at “overreaching his privileges and rights as a Senator pending the determination of the originating Summons of the applicant.”
Justice Musa ordered service of the originating Summons and other processes on Saraki through either the Clerk of the National Assembly, Clerk of the Senate or any other Clerk or reasonable staff of the National Assembly at the assembly complex.
The orders were made after an ex parte application by Akpabio’s lawyers, Chikaosolu Ojukwu and Ebere Ahanonu seeking to stop moves to declare his seat vacant following his defection from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The suit has been adjourned to August 29 for further hearing.

No senator can declare another senator’s seat vacant. Unless, if the wailers are telling us one senator is higher than another senator. The wailers want rules to be tailored to suit their political agenda. Its OK for them for Akpabio to lose his seat bcos he joined APC (the enemy), but they wouldn’t use the same logic on Saraki, Dino & Co. who joined PDP (their party)!

Saraki was voted from both party’s as Senate president, but Akpabio’s own, was only by the PDP as a minority leader, so go & buy sense is cheap now.
