They are against moves by the presidency to try Senate President Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, on allegations of forgery of the Senate Standing Orders during the senate election in June last year.

President Buhari on Monday hosted service Chiefs to the Ramadan dinner while he hosted members of the Federal Executive Council yesterday. He was billed to host members of the National Assembly today June 22nd.
