The group made the call in a statement signed by the national president, Sunday Attah in Abuja.
Attah said the group is aimed at reclaiming the Senate from Saraki and his supporters and return it back to the people of Nigeria.
The group condemned the suspension of Senator Ali Ndume and insisted that the Senate carry out screening of resident electoral commissioners (RECs) as it is their constitutional role that must be carried out.
Attah said they had scheduled 3 days rally at the Freedom Park in Lagos or Unity Fountain, Abuja next week.
The group said: “The Stand Up 4 Nigeria (SUN) which is the ray of hope and light to our generation is therefore calling on all well meaning Nigerians to join us as we reclaim the Senate from Saraki and his boys and return it back to the people of Nigeria.
“We are also calling on those outside the seats of power to rise in their respective state capitals on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
“No individual entity or group of persons should ever take the Nigerian people for a ride any longer.”
In a similar vein, another group, the Citizens Advocacy for Social and Economic Rights (CASER), had on Thursday threatened to drag the Nigerian Senate to court if it fails within 48 hours to rescind the suspension of Senator Ndume.
The executive director of the organisation, Frank Tietie, gave the ultimatum in Abuja. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Which group,you are all APC members fooling yourselves because you lack brains in running a governance.As a distinguished senator,he should not talk like ordinary man on the street; he must have facts and figures before casting aspersion on anybody.Ndume should have gone further to carry out a personal investigation to verify if the allegations are true or false before jumping into conclusion...The Senate followed due process by investigating the two allegations through its Privileges and Ethics Committee before bringing its sledge hammer on Ndume.
ReplyDeleteIf the two allegations are true, Nigerians and the world would have celebrated Ndume as one who brought the issue to the floor; but now they are false, so he should also bear the consequences.
“This is good lesson for whistle blowers; there is nothing wrong in blowing the whistle, but you must ensure you have facts and figures of what you are saying. Stand up for Nigeria (SUN) STAND UP FOR UNREASONABLE NONENTITIES....
Whoever you are, I'll advice you read what you wrote again to ascertain your understanding of issues.Any senator can raise an issue for deliberation and consideration,Ndume is not an investigator and only avenue open to him or others is to table an issue on the floor of the Senate.You Nigerians are just too stupid,the few that ain't are too corrupt to fight injustice.When your stupidly and corruption pushed you to endless suffering and irresponsible governance, you'll regain your senses or die suffering
DeleteUnknown,the senate as a constitution has its rules. Which is known as the rule of the house.In my opinion you lack knowledge,else you will know the suspension of the senator followed due process,i watched the public plenary on channels Tv,when it was issues on a voice vote,no single senator among the 109 senators said Nay. In your opinion what would have been his punishment for force accusation on such a critical matter on the red chambers been watched by the owl world on a Nation TV??? If the Senate president and Dino was found guilty,we all would have been clapping for Ndume and send the senate president and Dino for a 1year leave. But now the reverse is the case. I dont know any of this senators but the fact mush be said idiot,u will die suffering for lack of epignosis
DeleteAnd you becouse you are PD pigs member.Why is it that some members who raised this type of allegations were not suspended? ????,these cabal in the Senate are playing childishness and will regret it.
ReplyDeleteZali,u are the one been childish here cos you all are party members who refuse to use ur number 6. When PDP was there,we never saw this kind of infighting even if they where having issues.In this case this is different. 1.Simply question for you. was Ndume wrong or right? 2.What was suppose to be the punishment for the one find guilty?
DeleteYou need to go get proper education in order to write good English like a well educated Nigerian with understanding of issues
