*As Lawmakers Summon AGF Over Forgery Charges Against Saraki, Ekweremadu –
Ahead of the planned prosecution of Senate President Bukola Saraki, and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, over alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Order 2015, the Senate, on Tuesday, accused President Muhammadu Buhari of plans to enthrone a one man rule in the country.
The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye, made the allegation while moving a motion demanding the invitation of the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami.
“There is impending threat to democracy. The executive arm of government plans to enthrone one man rule,” Melaye had said.

Melaye had relied on order 14 and 52, to demand the approval of his colleagues for his two prayers including the invitation of the AGF and the genuineness of the rule book.
The senate therefore, approved the two prayers through voice votes while Ekweremadu who presided over the session, asked the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, to summon Malami, within 48 hours and interrogate him on the issue.
Speaking after the motion had passed, Mr. Ekweremadu said, “those who are using their office to persecute others should remember no condition is permanent”.
