Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Michael Aondoakaa and his lawyer colleagues in the Senate yesterday commenced a legal firework that may end the quagmire on the prolonged absence of President Umaru Yar'Adua from office.

Senate President, David Mark on the floor of the Senate yesterday directed all senators with legal background to meet with the Aondoakaa.

The Senate team was led by the chairman, Senate Committee on Judiciary, Umaru Dahiru.

Though Mark did not make public the agenda of the meeting which is the first of its kind but sources alleged that it was in line with renewed demand by senators for immediate hand over of power to the Vice President Goodluck Jonathan

Sources told Daily Champion yesterday that the meeting was to explore a safe landing for the President who has been outside the country for over 59 days on medical treatment.

There are also indications that the meeting may have asked the chief law officer to draft a letter to enable Jonathan serve as acting President in accordance with sections 144 and 145 of the 1999 constitution.

No official statement was issued after the meeting that lasted between 4.00 pm and 6.00 pm at the Senate meeting room in the National Assembly.

Dahiru who presided over the meeting kept sealed lips when confronted with questions regarding the agenda of the meeting.

But a source said the meeting was to explore a legal option to end the impasse.

Senators were said to have insisted that the President must transmit a letter to the National Assembly that he was sick and that his deputy would act as the President pending when he would be back to the country.

The meeting came ahead of the briefing today by the Secretary to the State Government (SGF), Yayale Ahmed to the Senate on the true health condition of Yar'Adua.

Dahiru at the meeting said: "I don't want to talk to anybody on this matter. Let Nigerians wait." he responded to a question on what happened in the meeting.

Senators present at the meeting include Abubakar Sodangi, Ikechukwu Obiora, Suleiman Adokwe, Patrick Osakwe, Hosea Ehinlawo, James Manager, Bassey Ewa-Henshaw among others.
