What Next for the Embattled Senate President, Saraki? by HiDee2(m): 3:51pm On Feb 05, 2016 |
Has Dr. Saraki come to the end of the road, politically? Well, maybe not, in Nigeria anything can happen. But if indeed he has nothing to hide, it worries the mind as to why he tried to (through the back door) prevent the case brought against him by the CCB at the CCT from going to full trial. Now that the SC has rightly ruled his case lacks merit, (meaning his attempt to use loopholes in the law to ridicule the law failed), what next for him? Here are three options (amongst many others): 1. Resign honourably This is the standard procedure for public officials accused of impropriety in other climes! To protect the office he currently occupies (Office of the Senate President) and to avoid a conflict of interest while he has has his day in court to clear his name from the mud. Two scenarios are possible at the end of his trial: A- He is found "not guilty", and so, he's left off the hook. But considering the gravity of evidence against him, this possibility would be interesting. B- He is found "guilty", and the law runs it full course. 2. Refuse to resign To ignobly hold on to the Office of Senate President in spite of the corruption trial he is facing, he would need to rally the support of senators to further polarize the Senate, his party (APC) and even Nigeria in order to forestall the commencement of impeachment proceedings against him. This line of action would really be unfortunate but at the end, we hope justice will be served, no matter whose ox is gored. 3. Get a soft landing. In the past under previous administrations, corruption cases, such as this, against high ranking public officers became a "family affair" and before Nigerians said Jack, everything was swept under the carpet. Nothing of such need happen under the new adminstration. President Muhammadu Buhari must be encouraged by all well meaning Nigerians not to toll that ignoble line. This Saraki vs FRN case must not be traded off for anything, not even for 2019, not for anything. For the good of Nigeria and to rein in corruption, here is an acid test to prove to Nigerians that you are indeed serious about your anti-corruption message, about you desire to relaunch Nigeria on the path of accountability. This case should be seen to a logical end without fear or favour, and the same measure of zeal should apply to ALL other pending corruption cases including Dasukigate. We must win back our country. God bless Nigeria. - Hi-Dee (A concerned citizen) 112 Likes 8 Shares |

HiDee2:Ideally he should step down but he won't do that. He will be tried and found guilty going by the evidence against him and be banned from holding public office for 10 years. 46 Likes 3 Shares |

HiDee2:. You are a confirmed Tinubuist and not a concerned citizen. I dont hold brief for Saraki but APC should start ruling and not all the too many distractions hitting hard on the economy. People are losing jobs all around! 6 Likes |
