According
to the official twitter page of the Senate, @NGRSenate, which we have been
following, the Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami today
failed to honour the invitation of the Senate. The AGF however sent in a
representative, the S.A to President Buhari on prosecution, Ministry of
Justice, but was asked to leave shortly after he told them, he was there to
represent the AGF, as he was...
out of
the country.
The
Chairman responded saying, it was the AGF that was summoned and not him, and
they asked him to excuse them.
The
Chairman of the Committee, Senator David Umaru then went on to say;
"The
purpose of this hearing was to defend Nigeria's Democracy but the AGF has faulted
the invitation of the Senate again."
"This
is a slap on the face of the Senate as the AGF has refused to appear before the
Committee after being summoned", Senator Utazi said. Utazi went further
saying; "We just want to ask the AGF a few questions to clarify all these
issues but he has failed to respond to our invitation.
In
conclusion, Senator Umaru thanked everyone and said; "What we'll do now as
a Committee is to report back to plenary and then we will know what next is to
be done."
The AGF
had been invited to speak on the issues surrounding the alleged forgery of
Senate Standing Rules which the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, his Deputy,
Ike Ekweremadu and two others are being prosecuted at the FCT High Court for.
