Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose and senators yesterday described as “victory for democracy” the discharge and acquittal of Senate President Bukola Saraki by the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Ekweremadu said it did not come to him as a surprise given that, “like the trumped up forgery and conspiracy charges slammed against him and Saraki which was later withdrawn by the Federal Government, the CCT trial was hatched in the coven of evil politics and was, therefore, bound to fall like a pack of cards.”
Some senators yesterday hailed the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) for clearing their president, Bukola Saraki, of false assets declaration charge.
Senator Ibn Na Allah told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that it was obvious that the case against Saraki was a distraction to governance.
“Those who erroneously believed that they can mislead the government into doing a wrong thing should know that they have not been helpful to the government,” he said.
Senate Chief Whip Olusola Adeyeye said the judgement indicated that the judiciary is independent.
“It shows that the judiciary does not act based on what the executive wants or based on what the legislature wants.” Read more
