I’m Disappointed, Saraki Reacts To Supreme Court Ruling

Senate President Bukola Saraki has expressed dissatisfaction towards the verdict of the Supreme Court in an appeal he filed to challenge the jurisdiction of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) over allegations of false assets declaration, operation of foreign accounts, among other charges leveled against him by the Federal Government.

Saraki made this known in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu on Friday.

“He expresses disappointment over the Judgment of the apex court in the country on the six grounds of his appeal. He however will like to put it on record that the facts of the substantial matter are not before the Supreme Court since the apex court was only invited to rule on some preliminary issues in the process of commencing the trial.

“The Senate President believes he will have his day in the court to prove his innocence of the charges preferred against him during the trial proper. Dr. Saraki will like to thank everyone who has expressed support for him from the beginning of the case. He assures everyone that at the end of the day truth will prevail and justice will be served”, the statement reads.
