The Nation Newspaper Ningi’s suspension not personal, Akpabio tells Falana
Through his counsel, Umeh Kalu of Seasons Law Firm, the Senate President faulted Falana’s claim that he was solely responsible for Ningi’s suspension.
“The decision and resolution to suspend Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi was that of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria sitting in plenary and not that of Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, CON. “Our client’s role at the session of the Senate that led to your client’s suspension was and remains the statutory role of a Legislative House Presiding Officer, which role equally includes pronouncing the majority decision of the Legislative House at the end of debate and voting.
“Furthermore, our client though a lawyer by profession does not sit and preside over the sessions of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a lawyer, or in the discharge of his services as a legal practitioner.
