Danjuma’s statement divides Senate
The Senate’s decision followed a Point-of-Order raised by Yusuf Yusuf, the senator representing Taraba Central Senatorial District at plenary on Tuesday.
Yusuf pointed out that Mr. Danjuma, who is a former chief or army staff, raised fundamental issues that should be debated and investigated by the Senate.
But while considering Mr. Yusuf’s submission, the matter turned controversial when it was put to voice vote by the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki.
There was initial confusion as to where the voting favoured, but Saraki ruled in favour of the “ayes”.
He said that the matter would be debated on Wednesday.
