It reads ” The Senate President has been found guilty of violating the Constitution on several counts, including:

“Gross Misconduct: Breaching constitutional provisions under Chapter 4, Part III, Section 37(5) by failing to honor the request of one-third (1/3) of senators to convene an emergency session.

“Abuse of Power: Making unilateral decisions without constitutional backing, in violation of Chapter 6, Part II, Section 55, Subsection 1(a-f) on the case of the Director of Information (DOI), Students’ Union
Government, University of Calabar, which mandates the collective approval of the Senate for executive actions.

“Failure of Leadership: Refusing to uphold the Constitution as the sole custodian of legislative authority, thereby undermining the democratic principles and integrity of the Students’ Union Government.

” Financial Mismanagement and Lack of Accountability:The Senate President has never been accountable for how Senate resources have been spent and managed. He has been misusing and misappropriating the little resources realized by the Senate, contrary to the financial transparency required
of his office.”

The committee will be headed by the new Senate President, who will work closely with the Senate to ensure justice and accountability.
