The Upper Legislative Chamber has commended some of its members for withdrawing a suit they filed over allegations of forgery of the Senate Standing Orders 2015 used for the inauguration of the 8th Assembly.
A statement released by the Chairman Senate Adhoc Committee on Media and Publicity, Senator Dino Melaye, commended members of both the Unity Forum, loyal to Senator Ahmad Lawan, and Senators loyal to Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki, for their maturity.
The Unity Forum Senators had filed the suit before the Federal High Court, Abuja, seeking to impeach the Senate President and his deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.
Justice Ademola Adeniyi of the Federal High Court struck out the case and terminated further hearing on the matter after the plaintiffs withdrew their suit.
Senator Melaye said the plaintiffs and their supporters have demonstrated that national interest is superior to an individual or group.
