Borno state governor, Kashim Shettima, led some traditional rulers and top politicians within the state to the residence of Senate President, Bukola Saraki, yester-night to beg for the senate to lift the six months ban placed on Seantor Ali Ndume this week.
The senate at its plenary held on Wednesday, March 29, suspended Ali Ndume for beckoning for an investigation in an accusation made by Sahara Reporters against senate President Bukola Saraki and Senator Dino Melaye. Sahara Reporters had accused Saraki of bringing in a Range Rover SUV into the country without paying the necessary customs duty while Dino was accused of forging his First degree certificate, that he was never a graduate.
The senate's committee on Ethics and Priviledges was directed to carry out a public hearing. The investigation by the committee revealed that the claims against Saraki and Dino were false. Based on their discovery, the senate decided to suspend Ndume for moving a motion against two of his colleagues without proper investigation from his end.
During the meeting with Saraki held in his Maitama, Abuja residence yesterday night, Shettima begged the senate to recall Ndume and cancels the suspension.
Responding to this appeal, Saraki assured the visitors that he would look into the matter and come up with what would be favourable to them.
