The Directorates of Legal Services, the Deputy Clerk as well as the Clerk of the National Assembly has advised the President of the Nigerian Senate, Sen. Ahmed Lawn to swear-in Rt. Hon. Jarigbe Agom as the senator representing Cross River Northern Senatorial District.
In a memo addressed to the Senate President and sighted by The Lumine News, indicates that the President of the Senate is invited to see from page 1 of the file, paying particular attention to paragraphs 2 and 3 and is humbly advised to swear in Hon. Jarigbe.
The advise as addressed to the Clerk of National Assembly, by the Directorates of Legal Services reads in parts “from pp. 44 – 45 is the legal opinion of the Directorate of legal services addressing that since the Supreme Court by a majority decision on the 25th day of February, 2021 struck out the notice of appeal filed by Senator (Dr) S. A. Odey, then the Court of Appeal decision recognising Hon. Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe should be given effect to, by the National Assembly as evidenced in certificate issued by INEC.
“Accordingly, you may wish to call upon the Distinguished President of the Senate to swear in Hon. Jarigbe please”
Acting on the legal advice, the Deputy Clerk of the National Assembly and the Clerk of the National Assembly, has advised the President of the Senate as seen in the attached memo to swear in Rt. Hon. Jarigbe Agom.
“The President of the Senate, you are please invited to see from page 1 of file, paying particular attention to paragraphs 2 and 3 and be humbly advised to swear in Hon. Jarigbe”.
It is unclear why the Senate President has remained silent as regards the memos on his table recommending Jarigbe for swearing-in.
