Four months to the end of the Eighth Senate, Air Vice Marshal Isaac Mohammed Alfa (retd) yesterday asked Senate President Bukola Saraki to inaugurate him as the senator representing Kogi East in accordance with several court orders.
Alfa accused Saraki of choosing and picking which court orders to obey and the ones to disobey, depending on who is involved.
The former Chief of Air Staff spoke in Abuja, the nation’s capital, on the alleged refusal of Saraki to swear him as the senator representing Kogi East, despite over six court rulings in his favour.
He noted that the case between him and Senator Atai Aidoko over the rightful occupant of Kogi East senatorial seat had gone through 31 judges who “are all aware of the Senate President’s deliberate refusal to swear me in”.
Alfa regretted Saraki appeared determined to keep Aidoko in the Senate in disobedience to express court directive.
The former Chief of Air Staff said he was baffled by “Saraki’s serial disobedience of court orders, even as he is the greatest beneficiary of court reliefs per his Code of Conduct assets declaration case”.
He said: “I am convinced that this has become necessary to let the world know the embarrassing and selective obedience and disobedience of court orders in the National Assembly by the Senate President and the Clerk of the National Assembly.
“The Senate President …decides which court orders to obey and which to disobey, depending on who is involved.
