SaharaReporters has obtained a copy of a text message sent out to Nigerian Senators urging them to accompany embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki to his corruption trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja tomorrow (November 5 2015).

Mr. Saraki and the leadership of the Senate have consistently shut down the Senate to enable senators to storm the venue of the CCT tribunal in a show of solidarity. In previous outings, more than 60 senators had showed up with Mr. Saraki at his hearings. Some civil rights activists have accused Mr. Saraki of using Nigerian taxpayers’ time and funds to attend to his personal corruption trial.
 
Yesterday, Mr. Saraki adjourned the sitting of the Senate until November 10, shortly after releasing the list of newly constituted committees of the Senate.
  
A copy of the text message to senators, signed by one “Arthur,” self-identified as “Director of Protocol to Saraki,” read:

Gdevenin Distinguishr. Wish to inform dt Buses are available 2moro mrnin to convey Senators wishing to accompany H/E d Senate President.
Departure is at 9 am frm d house @ 22 Yesderan Str. by IGP’s House Maitama. Regards. -Arthur (dir’ of Prot. S/P). +2348077770119

A hundred Senators cannot intimidate the CCT chairman, Justice Danladi Umar. They are just deceiving themselves. #masturbating senators

Firefire:

Abeg Firefire, this is not a matter of APC or PDP..plus, majority of the senators accompanying Saraki to the CCT trial are PDP senators. What do you have to say about that?

Saraki, the CHAMELEON

Amaechi and Fashola? They have never taken bribe in their entire life. They are not corrupt and they hate corruption. Accompanying Saraki to the CCT is like an endorsement of corruption.


@ the emboldened, Quote me anywhere

All eye on this CCT trial. We will know what Buhari stand for from the outcome.

K

politics

...And they will accompany him! The masses will keep kicking and some will support them.


Nigeria and its many den of thieves called arms of government.

I pity Saraki coz His antics is Up. This is not the first time he has sent such text to them, now that they have leaked it to the press it therefore means that they have refused to be part of it anymore.

that cannot save him

APC and Lie MUHAMMAD authorized this text message. Folks don't be fooled.

SR should have shown us a screen shot of the message.

make we just sit down dey watch

Abeg Saraki...justice will catch up with you.

I don't understand this display by these senators.

To me, accompanying him means they are in support of him and his deeds - CORRUPTION.

We should all take note of those who accompany him.

He needs moral encouragement. But on a serious note what will the presence of other lawmakers achieve. He wants everyone to witness his shame

Your comments, emoticons attached and the pics therein are beginning to make you sound more and more like Musiwa.

@Midolian: if you ask me, SR overstepped their limits here. I hope the sender of that message doesn't sue them for invasion of privacy and publication of that phone number without consent.

Wow!! I didn't know Buhari is the CCT judge.

Any fly that keeps perching on dead bodies will one day end up in a grave. Let the follow follow sinators continuu.

True! Very true! But SR have always overstepped their limits for evidences to back up their claims. I believe one of the enemies of Saraki pretending to be a friend willingly gave this to Sahara Reporters.
