National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita
Enang, has explained that he was never teamed up
with other aides of President Buhari to testify in the
prosecution of presiding officers of the Senate as
been insinuated.
Making the clarification at a press briefing on
Friday, he described as false publications and
insinuations that presidential aides have been lined
up against Senate presiding officers in the
prosecution of Senate Standing Rules Forgery.
“It was false publications and insinuations that
presidential aides have been lined up against the
presiding officers of the Senate and others in the
prosecution relating to the Standing Rules of the
Senate, 2015 citing me as as one of those lined
up,” he refuted.
Explaining how he got involved, Enang said: “a
Deputy Inspector General of Police, Dan Azumi
Doma had earlier received a petition that some
Distinguished Senators of the 8th Senate had forged
2015 standing rules and consequent upon that, the
DIG wrote the Clerk to the National Assembly in his
letter dated July 1, 2015 requesting for audience
with me and others which was slated for July 6,
2015.
”The DIG, having interrogated me, said, he
suspected that as the Committee Chairman, Senate
Business and Rules of the 7th Senate, I was
suspected to have been the brain behind the
forgery, which I denied in a written statement.”
He added that having been exonerated, the Police
had in their opinion, listed me as a witness along
side others in line with the procedure in criminal
matters.
“The Police inferred from my statement and others
of interest having exonerated me and rather listed
me as a witness as to the procedure of
amendment,” he added.
Enang reminded Nigerians that the alleged forgery
took place prior to his appointment as an aide to
the president late August, 2015, while emphasising
that he was been listed as a former Chairman,
Business and Rules in the defunct 7th Senate.
