Pro-Buhari Senators and Saraki gang in power tussle

Earlier today the Senate has cried out that thugs have invaded its sanctity and snatched the mace, the symbol of its authority. But what the Senate failed to say was that the alleged thugs were Senator Omo-Agege and his escorts, who came to register their anger with the leadership of the red chamber.

It should be recalled that the Senate on Thursday suspended Senator Ovie Omo- Agege (APC), Delta Central, for 90 legislative days. Senator Omo- Agege has also been asked to withdraw his suit against the Senate from the court.

Omo-Agege's suspension has been a series of  power tussle between pro-Buhari Senators who felt slighted by tinkering with the sequence of the forthcoming election by the Saraki gang.

Before Omo-Agege's suspension, 9 other Senators had walked out of plenary over the matter of election sequence; Abdullahi Adamu (Nasarawa West), Abu Ibrahim (Katsina South), late Ali Wakil (Bauchi South), Abdullahi Gumel (Jigawa North West), Umar Kurfi (Katsina Central), Yahaya Abdullahi (Kebbi North), Binta Garba Masi (Adamawa North), Andrew Uchendu (Rivers East).

The question is why didn't the Senate suspend the other 9 Senators?

Does the Senate has the power to continue to suspend Senators who have been voted by thousands of their people?

Even though it was wrong to badge into the chamber and confiscate the mace, it is equally wrong to continue to suspend Senators who are against the leadership of the house.

Many Governments have adopted this approach and made successes in infiltrating the networks of criminal gangs.  In 2018, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) (Establishment) Act was passed and transformed the Unit into an autonomous and independent agency embedded in the Central Bank of Nigeria. One of the core mandate of the NFIU is to curb Anti-Money Laundering, Counter-Terrorist Financing and Counter-Proliferation Financing (AML/CFT/CPF) framework. Among other things is "Receipt of suspicious transaction reports from reporting entities including financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professionals." It would be recalled that the Federal Government of Nigeria has arrested the Yoruba secessionist agitator, Sunday Adeyemo (also know as Sunday Igboho), while trying to flee the country through Be...
