The drama between Nigeria's number 3 citizen that is the Senate President in the person of Dr. Bukola Saraki and the Code of Conduct Tribunal is about to unfold. He had at first refused to appear before the tribunal saying that the charges were frivolous, lacked merit, this one and that one, etc.

Next, he went to the Federal High Court or was it the Court of Appeal to stop the matter from being heard but the Court said it would not grant such an injunction and that he should simply go and answer the charges levelled against him.

Then he went on to claim that the quorum of 3 judges that were supposed to sit in Court were not formed. Therefore, the 2 judges present and sitting had no jurisdiction in the matter. In short, other excuses exist.

In the midst of all these, 2 bench warrants of arrest have been issued twice against him. Now the D-day has come and the trial is on course.

Dr. Saraki could have avoided all these drama right from the onset. He should have gone to the Tribunal to answer the charges against him if he has no hidden skeleton in his cupboard. But in meandering about in this manner actually makes him come off as an offender is trying to evade the long arm of the law for the alleged offence he committed in 2003. It is not called the long arm of the law for nothing.

Well, let us sit back and watch as the two legal warriors for and against Dr. Saraki, slug it out.
