The Senate has admitted it made errors in its resolution advising President Bola Tinubu to remove Umar Danladi as chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
During the plenary last Wednesday, the Senate adopted a resolution asking President Tinubu to sack Mr Danladi over allegations of corruption and misconduct.
The resolution was taken in accordance with the provisions of Section 157 (1) of the Nigerian Constitution, which stipulates that ⅔ of the membership of the Senate can advise the president to remove some officials. However, that section does not apply to the CCT chair.
The Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, sponsored the motion calling for Mr Danladi’s removal from office.
However, during Tuesday’s plenary, Mr Bamidele said there was a mistake in the earlier resolution of the Senate and subsequently urged his colleagues to rescind and correct the mistakes for the resolution calling for the removal of the CCT chairman to be effective.
