Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, said the Senate went to court because it desires the Supreme Court to figure out whether President Muhammadu Buhari acted within the ambit of the constitution in his suspension of the CJN.

Senate Leader Ahmed Lawan faulted the action of the Saraki led Senate stating,

The Senate never met to take such resolution and at no time mandated anyone to approach the Supreme Court on this matter on its behalf. Consequently, the Senate APC caucus dissociates itself from the said request for the legal interpretation of the suspension
