Stop trying to distract.

This matter is about Saraki.

When Amaechi, Tinubu even Buhari are brought to justice we would do the same.

For now this is solely about Saraki.

DIKEnaWAR:



The objection is fundamental to the trial without which it wouldn't go on. Something cannot stand on nothing. The Court must dispense with it first.

midolian:
pls keep shut!...if you can't provide an evidence of me supporting Tinubu during his trial, just shut it.

olutunde12:



Our point exactly. Why solely saraki? They all stole from their states, but because he defiled apc to become SP, they are all over him. Well, we are waching.

fleshbeing:
The issue surrounding saraki case need to be handle with care,otherwise APC will tear into pieces.

What does it matter if APC becomes defunct?

There was Action group, UPN, NPN. GNPP, SDP, NRC, etc.

Who cries besides the politicians when the game is over?

Saraki should be hailed for being the sacrifice for democracy in Nigeria just as Goodluck.

Abi himself no wan be hero?

TippyTop:

Tinubu won his own due to technicalities, watch Saraki win his own through same route.

bremmery:
you may be right but this is under different govt. The last administration allowed a lot of issues to sweep under carpet. We should watch as the event unfold.

Hmmmmmm, some dont even know how the judicial system operate, wat d judge did today will make d trial longer than expected. What his lawyer will do is to file a case of appeal up to the supreme court level. Hmmmm, on hands should be on deck as will kip bringing to u the episodes of the season film titled 'SARAKI THE SHARP LOOTER'.

The Code of Conduct Tribunal has dismissed an application by the senate president, Bukola Saraki, for false asset declaration charges against him to be dropped.
Mr. Saraki’s lawyer, Kanu Agabi, had argued that the 13-count charge was invalid procedurally because the Code of Conduct Bureau which filed the charges, failed to allow Mr. Saraki explain discrepancies in his assets declaration forms as required by law.
But in his ruling Thursday, the chairman of the tribunal, Danladi Umar, said there was no breach of law as the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, 1989, still allows the senate president raise his clarifications at the level of the tribunal.
Mr. Danladi said by law, the CCB could receive complaints of breach of the Act and refer such complaints to the Tribunal, provided that it will allow the person involved to give a statement affirming or denying the said misconduct.
Also, upholding the argument made by the prosecution, Mr. Umar said Section 3 (e) of the 3rd schedule of the 1999 Constitution gives the bureau the right to receive complaints of such nature and where necessary refer such matter to the tribunal.
According to Mr. Danladi, Section 174 of the Constitution also gives the Attorney General of the Federation the prerogative to file criminal proceedings and does not owe any explanations to any one on how to go about it.
He therefore ordered the continuation of the trial.
Mr. Saraki had earlier lost his bid to stop the trial after the the Supreme Court dismissed his initial objections.
Bukola Saraki, had returned to the Code of Conduct Tribunal where he is standing trial for alleged false declaration of assets.
Mr. Saraki arrived the CCT at 9:53am, Thursday, amidst cheers from his colleague senators who had arrived earlier.
Mr. Saraki’s trial began in September 2015 on a 13-count charge brought by the Code of Conduct Bureau.
At the last sitting on March 18, Mr. Saraki’s lawyer, Kanu Agabi, asked the court to strike out the case, saying the charge was invalid.
Mr. Agabi said the CCB failed to, as required by law, invite Mr. Saraki to explain discrepancies in his asset form before bringing charges against him.
Mr. Agabi cited a previous judgement of the CCT in the case against former Lagos Governor Ahmed Tinubu in which the tribunal dismissed the charge for similar procedural flaw.
Mr. Saraki had been denied fair hearing by not being allowed to provide explanations first, Mr. Agabi, a former Federal Attorney General, said.

At Thursday’s hearing, Mr. Agabi again announced that Mr. Saraki was represented by 80 lawyers

''Saraki's Lawyer, Barrister Kanu Agabi''. Another Nwafo defending a thief. What is wrong with we Igbos? Why do we like supporting corruption, convicts, crooks, and criminals

abrolak:
to me i see dis case as politician anti saraki war because why it is when saraki became the senate president the case arose? but i know he is guilty of his offences but all nigerian politicians are theif starting OBJ, tinubu and others but if they want saraki to bepunish they should start from a purify ways. may [s]almighty ALLAH SAVE SARAKI FROM HIS ENEMYS.
