Chairman of the Presidential
Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, Itse Sagay, SAN, has dismissed
claims that the All Progressives Congress, APC-led Presidency was working
towards reconvening the Senate.
Sagay maintained that the
Presidency lacked the power to reconvene the Senate ahead of the September 25
resumption date.
Following the alleged clampdown
on Saraki and Ekweremadu by security operatives last week, the Senate has
embarked on an emergency recess.
However, while speaking with
Daily Independent, the PACAC Chairman said if the Presidency feels the Senate
should reconvene in order to deliberate on an urgent matter, it will be done
with a court order.
He said, “No, the APC can’t
reconvene the Senate. If the Senate decides to shut down for that period they
decided to shut down, which is September 25, the executive arm of government
cannot reverse it on their own.
“They may, however, resort, to
court action to order them to open it, especially if there is a pressing need
for them to reconvene such as the issue of funding of election,” he said.
