Bukola Saraki has ceased to be a mere fugitive
from the long shadow of his own criminal past.
He is now a threat to national security. He is
actively sabotaging all the three arms of the
Nigerian government…from the vantage position of the senate president!
Even after the Supreme Court gave an
unambiguous dead end ruling on the validity of
the case against him at the Code of Conduct
Tribunal, he has kept making the rounds of
lower cadres of the Nigerian court system,
harassing them to oblige him a contradictory
verdict on the selfsame matter that the highest
court in the land has pronounced upon.
His brazen contempt for and assault on the
Nigerian judiciary is unprecedented. He doesn’t
pretend to be an importunate suppliant in the
temple of justice. He prides himself on the
daredevilry of an insurgent sworn to exploding
the society!
While he continues his attack on the judiciary, he started a new one on the legislature. He rallied some senators and instigated them to gut the extant laws under which he is being tried at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. The draft
‘amendments’ he means to visit on the Code of
Conduct Act and the Administration of Criminal
Justice Act 2015 will make the laws weaker
instruments in the war against corruption.
According to the provisions of the Nigerian
constitution, the amendments, if passed, will not have a retroactive effect. And, in the event that they are passed, President Muhammadu Buhari would definitely veto them. But Saraki would not be restrained by the apparent futility of his overreach. He simply wants to please himself with the satisfaction that he had attempted to undermine the war against
corruption, one of the core agenda of President
Buhari, his presumed persecutor!
In a show of desperation, the feverish kind that
can only derive from lust for revenge, Saraki
rushed The Code of Conduct Act CAP C15 LFN
2004 (Amendment) sponsored by one of his
foremost sidekicks, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi
(PDP, Delta North), through the first and second
reading within forty eight hours. The bill seeks towhittle down the powers of the Code of ConductBureau and the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Saraki has also slated next Tuesday for the
commencement of deliberations on The
Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015
(Amendment) Bill 2016 (SB249) sponsored by
another of his staunch supporter, Senator Isah
Misau (APC, Bauchi Central). The bill seeks to
delegitimize the use of the Criminal Justice Law
in the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
The proceedings of the senate put paid to any
doubt that the ‘amendments’ were all about
Saraki. When Abdullahi Yahaya (APC, Kebbi
North) warned that processing the amendments
in the midst of Saraki’s trial would reflect
negatively on the image of the Senate, a Saraki
ally, Biodun Olujimi (Ekiti South, PDP), answered
that the senators had to be Good Samaritans to
their needy colleague. She said, ‘’If you don’t
assist your neighbor when his house is burning,
it will extend to yours.’’

O

He said that he will not resign.
He has turned that office to his father's house.

NOETHNICITY:

a Saraki
ally, Biodun Olujimi (Ekiti South, PDP), answered
that the senators had to be Good Samaritans to
their needy colleague. She said, ‘’If you don’t
assist your neighbor when his house is burning,

This statement has clearly indicted them.
