WE ARE NOT GOING TO PREVENT SENATOR OMO-AGEGE FROM RESUMING OFFICE, SAYS SENATE

‘ As an institution that obeys the law and court orders, the Senate has decided that it will comply with the judgement of the Federal High Court and do nothing to stop Senator Ovie Omo-Agege from resuming in his office and at plenary from tomorrow May 15, 2018, pending the determination of the application for stay of execution’.

The statement, titled, ‘Our Position on the Omo-Agege Suspension Issue ’, however, emphasized that the Senate has equally filed an appeal against the judgement of the court and a motion for stay of execution of the judgement at the Court of Appeal.

‘The Senate has been advised that since the motion for stay of execution of the Thursday (May 10, 2018) judgement shall be heard and possibly determined on Wednesday, May 16, 2018, we shall therefore respect the subsisting High Court judgement and await the appellate court’s decision on the pending motion’.
