A human rights advocacy organisation, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, on Thursday, advised the leadership of the Senate to jettison its proposition to summon Prof. Itse Sagay, over a comment the scholar made against the lawmakers.
SERAP, in a statement by its Executive Director, Adetokunbo Mummuni, not only described the Senate’s proposition as unlawful and unconstitutional, it added that the legislature’s Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions had no moral right to summon Sagay.
The group, while admonishing the Senate to immediately refrain from the move to summon Sagay, stressed that the planned summons had no constitutional backing and could not withstand constitutional scrutiny.
