The suspension follows speculations that the amendment of the acts was in favor of Senate President Bukola Saraki who is presently on trial for alleged false declaration of asset.
The senate, while announcing its decision via its official twitter handle, also said that it has stepped down the petition against Senator Kabiru Marafa who has always been against Saraki.
The law makers further reaffirmed their commitment to stand with Saraki through his trial at the CCT.
