ALJA urged the Sinoe lawmaker to immediately withdraw his ill-advised libel suit against FrontPage Africa. In the wake of the publication, Senator Teahjay on July 12, 2020, initiated a legal action against the Paper. The Association says Senator Teahjay willfully admitted to seeking a quid pro quo from Cllr. Nwabudike that would benefit him personally as chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Autonomous Agencies. ALJA says the Senator’s admission was an inadvertent indictment of himself, members of the Senate Standing Committee on Autonomous Agencies, and the Senate’s plenary for engaging in acts that eroded the fundamental intent and purpose of the confirmation hearings.
