The senate, on Wednesday, after overwhelming pressure from all quarters have suspended the proposed amendment of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) Act and the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA).
Suspicion had been rife for long that the proposed bill was put in place to favour embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki who is on trial for alleged false declaration of asset.
The senate, while announcing its decision via its official twitter handle, also said that it has stepped down the petition against Senator Kabiru Marafa who has always been against Saraki.
The law makers further reaffirmed their commitment to stand with Saraki through his trial at the CCT.
