Some senior advocates of Nigeria and professors of law, have said that by virtue of Section 50(2)(c) of the Constitution, it would take up to 73 senators to remove the Senate President or his deputy from office.
The legal luminaries who spoke to SUNDAY PUNCH on the issue are, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), Wole Olanipekun (SAN), Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), and Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN).
Others are, Kayinsola Ajayi (SAN), Fidelis Oditah (SAN), Mr. Norrison Quakers (SAN), Mr. Roland Otaru (SAN) and Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN
They insisted that Section 50(2)(c) of the Constitution referred to two-thirds of the 109 senators as opposed to two-thirds of those present on the floor, to legally impeach any presiding officer of a legislature.
Olanipekun urged Nigerians to respect the rule of law instead of always trying to undermine the constitution.
