A coalition of civil society organisations under the aegis of Heritage Centre and the National Association of Nigerian Students have threatened to lead mass protests to foreign embassies in Abuja to protest alleged political vendetta against Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, but gave no date for it.

They were reacting to the order of Saraki’s arrest by Code of Conduct Tribunal over alleged falsification in his assets declaration.

The Director-General of HC, Dr. Katch Ononuju and NANS President, Tijani Usman, who issued the threat during a press briefing on Saturday evening in Abuja, said it was a witch-hunt against the Senate President by what he described as political ‘cabals,’ who should be put under checks by the Federal Government.

Ononuju said, “The President makes appointments and does not refer them to the Senate for confirmation because he does not like the leadership there. Our democracy is under threat and that is why we are talking to Nigerians. ‎Since President Muhammadu Buhari took over, everything is going down. We are calling on the Chief Justice of Nigeria to protect the integrity of the courts by ensuring that injunctions are respected. We are to march to every embassy to tell them that our democracy is under threat.

“The President lacks the political will to fight corruption. We are very worried with the ‎turn out of things. The action by the Senate to appoint its own leadership is the reason behind this witch-hunt. Accidents have been arranged for senators who supported Saraki.

“The DSS has been used to trail senators. The current CCB should not exist. The current leadership came into office in 2010 and their tenure ought to have elapsed in April 2015. The power that seeks to undermine our democracy and the Senate is gaining the upper hand. I sincerely want corruption to be fought headlong, but we do not want a return to the days of Olusegun Obasanjo, where arrests where targeted.”

Dr. Katch Ononuju is a PDP member disguising as a CSO person. He even represented PDP in one of the earlier debates on AIT in a run-up to the 2015 elections. He is a wailer and should not to be taken seriously. His actions are neither altruistic nor Patriotic.

Sadly youth are selling their future,i wonder why its very difficult for Saraki to go and clear his name

Jobless ediots, descendants of esau

ON THEIR OWN !

Hired civil servants!

The crux of the matter remains....Is Saraki guilty or not?Eziachi was fucking right!!! Nigerians pretend to hate corruption outwardly but cherish it within...
How can a sane group or society come out for this trash called 'a purpose'?

Haba! Me I go just siddon dey watch this fight between Tinubu and Saraki.

This counter move is dead on arrival...

Some youths are disgrace to this country.

NANS supporting corrupt officials since gej days. Same students that will graduate and not get jobs due to the effect of corruption on the economy.
The Nigerian schools is surely the breeding ground for corrupt individuals.

They should take there protest to Biafra because the NANS man recruited by saraki to organise the protest is an Igbo man.
Our military is waiting for them. Bunch of jobless youths

Abeg I wan buy guguru, this season film go tough well well. APC days are numbered

I believe I am part of NANS
And am not in support of this rubbish
It like if u are a Nigerian student and does not support this shameful act of NANS

who are these paid groups ffor goodness sake? The law is very clear on this matter. A protest in Washington DC and London won't and can't change anything. Saraki should stop hiding behind paid groups because it won't save him. He should tender all his explanations to the Judge.

I enjoin all Nigerians who love Nigeria to join this protest...

A country of over 160 million people is now being driven by a blind man.. smh

you can protest all you like from Geneva to Washington. it cannot affect the process and decision of the tribunal. "Political witch hunting" is not a defense in court. Witch hunting does not say if you are accused, you shouldn't clear or defend yourself. You can only raise objection or appeal if the process is not credible.
Saraki like me enjoys no immunity from prosecution. He is not the first to be summoned by the CCT. A "MERE GOVERNOR" Bola Tinubu appeared before the tribunal to clear his name.

Keep deceiving yourself... Buhari is not serious and ready to fight corruption.. He is just disguising political vendetta as fighting corruption. We can easily see though that.. How can you fight corruption without declaring your assets publicly

Paid jobless fools

If them like make them go on hunger strike it won't change nor stop the process

Seriously our democracy is under threat,Buhari is not a democrat.So someone can not aspire to become something in this country on his own,without getting endorsement from certain quarters and we say we want to fight Godfatherism.Saraki said he had the numbers and he presented it and got the office and ppl dat don't have the numbers want to muscle him and get his office thru the back door. Impossible,unless we are not practicing democracy. SAY NO TO GODFATHERISM SAY NO TO IMPOSITION Our democracy is under threat,we must rise up to protect our democracy!!!!!!

We the enlightened masses will not support political witch hunting as anti corruption efforts. We stand by Saraki, Buhari should update us on his asset declaration.
