There was no senator in attendance at the tribunal for the trial of Bukola Saraki, the Senate president on Thursday, April 28.


Saraki has always been accompanied by senators for his trial

The first time Saraki’s case begun on September 22, 2015, he was accompanied to the tribunal by at least 50 senators on that day.



The second time which was on Wednesday, October 21, 2015, Saraki was accompanied by at least 81 senators to the tribunal.

On Friday, March 11, there were 30 senators present at the tribunal.

Subsequently, they began to reduce in number.

However, on Monday, April 18, ten lawmakers came to pledge in solidarity with the Senate president.

Some of the lawmakers who are regulars at the tribunal to pledge solidarity for the Senate president are Sam Anyawu representing Imo east senatorial district, Stella Oduah representing Anambra north senatorial district and Gershom Bassey representing Cross river south senatorial district, Dino Melaye representing Kogi west senatorial district among others.

Saraki has been charged to court with 13 counts of false declarations when he was the governor of Kwara state.
