CCT DID NOT ACQUIT SARAKI, AS KWARA MUST CHANGE CALL EFCC FOR RE-PROSECUTION
....Says Senate President not acquitted.

Kwara Must Change has carefully gone through the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) judgement delivered on Wednesday 14th June 2017, which discharged the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki over his false asset declaration and we find the judgement to be very questionable, nonsensical and out rightly unreasonable.

For the records, it is important to point out that we did not find the judgement questionable simply because it discharged the Senate President; we are far above such myopic consideration. However, we find it nonsensical and out rightly unreasonable because it is riddled with unreasonable considerations which beats any sane imagination.

For example, the CCT claimed as one of its reason to discharge Saraki, the failure of the prosecuting counsel to produce Kwara State Accountant General as a witness to testify against the Senate President, knowing fully well that the Accountant General of Kwara State was a boy installed by Saraki’s lackey and stooge governor, Abdulfatai Ahmed. It is more like asking the prosecuting counsel to call Saraki himself to testify against himself or asking the Kwara Accountant General to commit suicide. The Accountant General would rather die than serve as witness to testify against Saraki.

We therefore make bold to say that the discharge of the Senate President based on this meaningless claim and others like it are questionable, unreasonable, condemnable, unacceptable and even make mockery of the whole judicial process. No wonder President Muhammadu Buhari had once said that the judiciary was his greatest headache. A judiciary that allows violators to benefit from their violation.

Kwara Must Change shall in the coming week, forward a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to take up the matter once again and ensure the Senate President is re-prosecuted based on the same allegations, specifically based on the mountain of evidences.

We believe that the evidences presented are too much to be thrown away in a waste bin like the CCT tried to do. The prosecuting counsel presented account statement clearly indicating that Saraki continued to receive salary as Kwara State Governor after his tenure had expired between 2011 to 2015, while also receiving salary as Senator of the federal republic. His account statement confirmed this. The prosecuting counsel also presented clear evidence of transferring Kwara scarce resources abroad during his tenure, another bridge of the country’s law. All these resources belong to the people of Kwara State and it must be recovered.

Additionally, let us clear another false narration going on in the media.
Although, we understand that a person (Bukola Saraki) has been discharged by CCT.

We also understand that a person (Bukola Saraki) has been not been acquitted. He cannot be acquitted, because he didn’t enter any defense. You cannot be acquitted without defense; neither did the CCT acquit him. Nothing in the judgement claims anything close.

Since the discharge of Senator Bukola Saraki, several concerned people from across the state as well on the social media have been reaching out to us, demanding our position on the matter. However, we deliberately delayed our position till after we have properly studied and understood the basis of the judgement and we are confident that the judgement is nothing to write home about. This judgement cannot free Dr Saraki from his violation of the law, it only delayed the deliverance of justice.

By this, it means that, Senator Bukola Saraki was not cleared of any wrong doing. As a matter of fact, he can be picked up today and re-prosecuted for the same allegations. Being merely discharged cannot take away the matter and the numerous evidences available.

An Acquittal is traditionally defined as the act of releasing someone from certain charges brought against him/her. From a legal perspective, an Acquittal is understood as representing a “judicial deliverance” from a crime, based on the verdict or decision of a court. The word ‘deliverance’ is vital in understanding the definition of Acquittal in that it signifies an absolute release or freedom from some particular thing. An Acquittal, therefore, is an act that follows a verdict of Not Guilty. The discharge of Dr. Saraki doesn’t amount to not guilty; it only means that the court doesn’t consider the evidences due to technical grounds, hence the need for our call for re-prosecution on the same allegations.

We are therefore calling on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to immediately wade into this matter by helping Kwarans re-prosecute the Senate President and recover all our resources that had been corruptly siphoned.

The following points are what I can deduce from this thread:

1. Only the afonjas wants saraki persecuted and they are the minority.

2. Saraki is to kwara state what tinubu is to Lagos state.

3. Only wicked and phoolish Nigerians would want a great man persecuted , he has represented kwarans well and has brought sanity to the national assembly with his vast knowledge and leadership qualities ...

4. The judiciary in their wisdom discharged him from all charges, so who are those that want him persecuted when the judiciary who are the last hole of the common man freed him.

5. Go bless all the youths of this country for their support and prayers for our able senate president, may he continue to lead us now and beyond ...
