I will be at the Tribunal tomorrow – Saraki
The Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has promised to appear before the Code of Conduct Tribunal on Tuesday.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph
Olaniyonu, Saraki said while he is ready to submit himself to due
process of the law on any issue concerning him, he also believes that he
has an inalienable right to resort to the same judiciary for protection
when he feels his fundamental rights are about to be infringed upo” The Senate President i
s a law abiding citizen and his absence from
tribunal was based on legal advice he received from his counsel that it
is not necessary for him to appear before the tribunal at this stage
since the jurisdiction of the tribunal and the process of initiating the
matter are being challenged before the Federal High Court Abuja.
” Following the adjournment for the determination of the motion on
notice and the substantive suit before the Federal High Court to 30th of
September and the appeal pending before the Court of Appeal adjourned
to the 29th of September 2015, the Senate President has decided, as a
law abiding citizen, to appear before the Tribunal in the interim.
” Dr. Saraki has taken the decision to attend the Tribunal sitting to
demonstrate his respect for the rule of law in spite of his personal
reservation on the process of his trial and the purpose it may be
intended to serve.
” Dr. Saraki wishes to assure Nigerians of his absolute belief in the
judicial process and is therefore confident that the course of justice
would be served at the end of this matter,” Olaniyonu stated
