Buhari angry over how Clerk gate crashed into Ramadan dinner
The Police appear to have established a case of forgery of the Senate Standing Orders 2015 which paved the way for the June 9, 2015 emergence of Dr. Bukola Saraki as Senate President and Chief Ike Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate President.
There were indications yesterday that the police might charge the Clerk to the National Assembly, Alhaji Salisu Maikasuwa to court for the alleged forgery of the Standing Orders.
Maikasuwa may be arraigned with some staff of the National Assembly suspected of having played one role or the other in the drafting of the rules.
But the fate of Ekweremadu who was one of those quizzed by the Police in the course of their investigation into the matter was unknown last night.
Police sources declined to discuss his fate.
Already, the case file has been sent to the Federal Ministry of Justice for advice and prosecution.
Besides the Standing Orders matter, the Clerk is also said to be facing a fresh crisis on how he was selected to be part of a Ramadan dinner (Iftar) with President Muhammadu Buhari while under investigation by the Police.
The Presidency is investigating alleged breach of protocol by the Clerk by attending the breaking of fast with the President.
Investigation in Abuja showed that the Police, acting on a petition by six Senators, believed that the Senate Standing Orders 2015 was forged.
According to findings, the Police team, led by Deputy Inspector-General Danazumi Job Doma, discovered many anomalies in the said Senate Standing Orders.
