I Am Being Prosecuted Because I Am Senate President, Says Saraki by kazmanbanjoko(m): 4:59am On Sep 23, 2015 |
ABUJA- SENATE President Bukola Saraki who appeared before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT following a 13-count charge against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau, over alleged falsification of assets he admitted, said Tuesday that if he was not the Senate President, he would not be going through the present trial. In a statement tilted, “As I Appear Before The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT)” he personally signed Tuesday night, Senate President Bukola Saraki who noted that his appearance before the CCT was a demonstration of his believe in rule of law and respect for the judiciary, said, “Today, I appeared before the Code of Conduct Tribunal for the commencement of my trial in a case concerning the asset declaration form I filled in 2003 after I have explored the opportunity to defend my fundamental human rights in other courts. “My appearance in court today once again demonstrates my belief in the rule of law and respect for the judiciary of our country. “As I stated while taking the plea in the case, I reiterate my belief that the only reason while I am going through this trial is because I am Senate President. If I were to be just a Senator, I doubt if anybody will be interested in the asset declaration form I filled over twelve years ago. “This belief stems from the fact that Section 3 (d) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act provides that If there is a breach or non-compliance with any section of the law, the person involved should be given the opportunity to either admit or deny and that in the case of a written admission, no reference to the Tribunal shall be necessary. So, If the CCB had followed the guidelines, procedure or the due process provided in its own law, we won’t be having this trial. “It is my humble opinion that this case is a vivid example that there is still flagrant disregard for due process in our polity. This trial is not only being observed by Nigerians alone, the international community is watching because Nigeria is a key member of this community. So, the executive, legislature and judiciary should do the right thing that will truly demonstrate that we have imbibed the spirit of positive change. “It is however necessary for me to thank my colleagues in the Senate for the solid support and solidarity they demonstrated for me. I also thank my counsel for the brilliance they have shown in presenting our case and the supporters who were present in the Tribunal in their hundreds. I want to assure you that I am innocent of all the charges and will clear my name in due course. “May God continue to bless our country.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/i-am-being-prosecuted-because-i-am-senate-president-saraki/ cc: lalasticlala 16 Likes 2 Shares

Mr Saraki occupies the third highest office in the land. He should therefore expect all his affairs to come under intense scrutiny. If he can't stand the heat he should stay out of the kitchen. 13 Likes 1 Share |

If I were to be just a Senator, I doubt if anybody will be interested in the asset declaration form I filled over twelve years ago. Yes we cannot afford to have an established looter as our Senate President and No. 3 Man. When we replace you with a more acceptable Senator the system will start purging other public servants with similar pilfering histories as yours. Being a No. 3 Man comes with burdens and that includes knowing how you earned your Trillions (not even Billions) twelve years ago. 16 Likes 2 Shares |
