A former President of the Senate (name withheld) on Tuesday warned the Upper Chamber against inviting the Attorney General of Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, over the forgery suit against the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.
The former Senate president, who is also the serving senator, gave the warning shortly before the lawmakers reached the decision to invite Malami to appear before the Senate.
He made the position known at the closed-door session of the Senate, which lasted for over one and half hours, before plenary.
He said the lawmakers should tread the path of caution on the matter.
He said the only solution to the issue on ground was for the leadership of the Senate to talk to the senators that petitioned the Police to withdraw the matter.
After the former Senate president discovered that the senators were not prepared to listen to his advice, he walked out immediately after closed-door session.
Many other senators opposed to the invitation of Malami, especially those of the Unity Forum, walked of the plenary before the debate on the motion sponsored by Senator Dino Melaye to invite Malami started.
Senators that walked out of the plenary included James Manager, Abu Ibrahim, Ahmad Lawan and George Akume. one and half hours, before plenary.
