Ali said this while speaking with State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday.
It will be recalled that the Senate, last Thursday, turned back the comptroller-general for not appearing in Customs uniform, ordering him to re-appear on Wednesday, March 22nd.
Ali said, “The case is in court already. Somebody has sued us. I have gotten my writ of summons and they said status quo ante should remain; which means nothing should be done until the court makes a pronouncement.

“A private individual sued all of us; he wants an interpretation of the section that is in contention.
“I don’t want to talk so that I am not held in contempt of court,’’ Ali said.
