The Code of Conduct Bureau has slammed a
13-count charge of corruption on the
President of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola
Saraki.
In charge number ABT/01/15, dated
September 11 and filed before the Code of
Conduct Tribunal, Mr. Saraki is accused of
offences ranging from anticipatory
declaration of assets to making false
declaration of assets in forms he filed before
the Code of Conduct Bureau while he was
governor of Kwara state.
According to the charges, exclusively
obtained by PREMIUM TIMES Wednesday
morning, the Senate President is also
accused of failing to declare some assets he
acquired while in office as governor.
Among other offences, including allegedly
acquiring assets beyond his legitimate
earnings, Mr. Saraki is also accused of
operating foreign accounts while being a
public officer – governor and senator.
The offences, the charge said, violated
sections of the Fifth Schedule of the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria 1999, as amended.
Mr. Saraki is also said to have breached
Section 2 of the Code of Conduct Bureau
and Tribunal Act and punishable under
paragraph 9 of the said Fifth Schedule of
the Constitution.
The charges were prepared by M.S. Hassan,
a deputy director in the office of the
Attorney General of the Federation. It is not
clear on Wednesday morning whether the
document had been served on Mr. Saraki,
Nigeria’s number three man.
He and his aides could not be immediately
reached. But a source at the Code of
Conduct Bureau told PREMIUM TIMES the
Senate President might be arraigned before
the Code of Conduct Tribunal this week.

And the plot thickens.......

Lalasticlala

Which quarter of this administration is not headed by corrupt cunny man..

Jst that am tired of this media anti corruption fight, the media keeps fighting corruption while the Judiciary is asleep..

If someone is corrupt charge him nd jail him irrespective of their hierarchy nd stop this media stunt...

The scripture says "they will gather but surely they will scatter"

makzeze:
Saraki is a goner.

He should resign honourably and take a bow.

With saraki as the head of the senate, anti-corruption war of Buhari administration can be paralysed.

Wailer... With the way buhari is going... Saraki is needed urgently.

Wailer... With the way buhari is going... Saraki is needed urgently.

God forbid! am not a wailer. am a staunch buhari supporter.

Let the house scater apc is frud.

Ghen Ghen! So many action films in Nigerian politics set to begin

Saraki won the battle but I doubt he's prepared for the long drawn war.

As much as these accusations are likely to be true, we need to ask ourselves a few questions;
Will Saraki be tried?
Will he ever be found guilty before a court of competent jurisdiction?
Will he go down without a fight?
What impact will this have on the legislature?
What's the end game?
Let's not lose sight of what's important.
