    The Nigerian Senate has corrected an error in its previous resolution, which led to the removal of Yakubu Danladi Umar as the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

    The correction involves referencing the appropriate constitutional provision, which is Paragraph 17 (3) PT 1, Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (As Amended).
    The Senate initially invoked Section 157 (1) of the Constitution, but later realized the mistake and corrected it. The correction does not invalidate the previous resolution, which removed Umar from office due to alleged misconduct.

    The Senate has reaffirmed its resolution to remove Umar, citing Paragraph 17 (3) PT 1, Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (As Amended) and Section 22 (3) Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act Cap C15, LFN 2004.
    The Upper Chamber has also resolved to seek the concurrence of the House of Representatives on the matter. The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, disclosed that the House of Representatives has concurred and approved the resolutions reached by the Senate.
    The correction was made following a motion sponsored by the Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, APC, Ekiti Central. The motion was titled “Urgent Need to correct Freudian slip regarding the removal from office of the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal for Misconduct”.
