The Senate on Wednesday dropped the amendment of the Code of Conduct Bureau/Tribunal Act and the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, which was initiated and referred to its committees on Judiciary and Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions last week.
It shelved it for further legislative business.
Similarly, the report of the Ethics Committee on Kabiru Marafa, a senator known to be opposed to embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki, was also stepped down.
The Senate took the decision after a closed door session, which started by 11:05am and ended at 1:43pm, on Wednesday.
The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, who presided over plenary, also called off the summon issued to the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Justice Danladi Umar.
The lawmakers, however, expressed their resolve to stand by the embattled President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, during his trial by the CCT.
Ekweremadu also set up a committee of two of each geopolitical zone to resolve the remaining issues dividing the Senate.
