The only play left for him now is to Negotiate(Dance to the tune) a soft landing from that Seat/Senate if the alleged offenses are true.

LOL seed dreamer!!!soft landing indeed!!! Buhari is the one who actually needs Saraki to be in his good books and not the other way round.You will soon know what I mean when the senate reconvenes

Rawani:
Growing up I learnt there are many ways to catch a rat...

This blow if confirmed, is deft, speedy and decisive.

Saraki should have punched within his weight class.

In Saraki mind he got away with that Senate President treachery. He'll be strung up and used as scape goat. APC would use him to silence PDP allegations of targeting only PDP politicians

Remember his wife still has a situation with EFCC

Jesus also stood in for a known adulteress. Do you know why? Among those brandishing stones were murderers, thieves and adulterers and they know themselves. They are doing this to him because he stepped out of line if not they would have still described him as the progressive like Tinu bu.
They should ask investigate Tinubu's asset declaration in 1999.

Another thief is now talking, by their fruits we shall know them.
Pastor can you please educate me on the meaning of inequities? .
I know Saraki family very well so i know what i'm talking about.
I repeat, anyone holding brief for a thief is actually a thief.

Olodo saraki is ten times more powerful than ordinaru commissioner Osinbanjo.Unless Buhari does not want to have his ministerial nominees confirmed,he would not move against him.

If Saraki is found wanting he'll be impeached without too much fuss, the only issue being Ekwerumadu might become the Senate President which can be ratified with a 2/3rd vote on the Senate. Otherwise the ministers would be appointed this month

ode where is Buhari and his useless APC going to get 73votes needed to impeach him? common simple majority APC have not been able to muster let alone 2/3 needed to remove him.

If you arrest him today, Ekweremadu will continue as Senate President. So where are you running to? Even if you remove him via arrest and put him in prison, he is still our Senate President until we impeach him.

Senator Marafa was shouting in the newspapers, ‘when we resume, heavens will fall, we will remove him’; you heard it. Then we came that day, instead of moving the removal motion, 81 Senators signed the vote expressing confidence in the leadership of Saraki. That is a demonstration of ‘I am in charge’.

The National Assembly is on the firstline charge. There is nobody that can strangulate the National Assembly; rather it is the National Assembly that can strangulate people. If you follow democracy, the strongest arm of any democratic setting is the parliament. Nobody, no arm of government can intimidate the legislature

words on marble from senator Nwaoboshi!!!

Let Buhari dare we will see who will win this war

BTW you don't need a 2/3 majority to elect a new senate president ,a simple majority vote is enough

chukwudi44:


Lol bros you do not really understand how powerful the senate really is!!! Ministries and parastatals would need to have their budgets approved by the senate as well!! They can ground the government if they so wishes!! Unless Saraki loses support of majority of the senators,there is nothing the APC can do to him

You make it seem as thou Saraki has many friends in the current Senate. This is a man who made an enemy of his father and sister. He is divisive and many would happily stone him while down

olodo so for your mind a man whom 82 senators passed a vote of confidence on has few friends in the senate baa?

tomakint:

My guy, this is no witch-hunting but the fact on ground. From day one corrupt Saraki was aiming at the Senate Presidency, I knew his inordinate ambition will ruin him.....he is like the proverbial fly that follows the corpse to the grave. Buhari will mess him up....Fulanis hardly forgives!

Ooh boy this is witch hunting middle ages style. But this grand wizard Saraki has it coming a long time. He just bit more than he could chew with that Senate presidency thing and how he made PMB look like a learner in the eyes of APC members looking for him to intervene at the time.

This is Buhari payback time the Fula way.

chukwudi44:

You know what they say of political alliances. They are temporary necessities, when Saraki is going through his troubles as someone mentioned earlier it would be "all man for himself and God for us all"

Who is the senator who would stand up and be caught in the impending whirlwind, you think David Mark would stand up and all the other PDP stalwarts who assisted him acquire that seat and get caught in the noose as well.

samnaija:


where is the case. you cannot trial somebody for an incidence that happened 20 yrs talkless of 30-40yrs. the only trial is facing is media persecution . which is now in Nigeria.

False, if proof is present an individual can be charged for a crime committed at any time. Individuals who committed crimes during the WW II in Nazi camps were still being charged. Cold murder cases do get opened often when new evidence is provided. Reason why Cosby case is lingering legally is because most of the individuals involved had previously settled out of court.

ideology:
why is it coming up now, since 2003.

He claimed he acquired the property through company A, while they are accusing him that FG sold the property to him through company X.

What is the bases of the accusations, is the problem just the name of the company, this is just pure political set up.

Ever heard if money laundering.

I once had a word with the national financial security expert of our company who before he took up his role was a professional money launderer for many billionaires in Switzerland and Bahamas. You'll be shoked how tax evasion and laundering goes on

chukwudi44:


Olodo illiterate APC supporter!! There are 3 arms of Government!! Executive headed bu Buhari,legislature headed by Saraki and Judiciary headed by the CJN each of these arms are powerful enough to frustrate one another!! If buhari comes after Saraki,he will also fight back

Tinubu is so inconsequential that he cannot even influence the appointment of any senate commitee member let alone removing the senate president,, he only has control over a very few senators from his amala region

Except you forgot that Saraki is not the legislature, the legislative arm need a majority and unity to frustrate the executive.
Saraki does not have a majority, he has a handful of APC supporters at best and the main body of PDP who act as prescribed by interest. Saraki would have to convince the PDP heavyweights that their best options is to ally with him

babestella:


You think Saraki is a little child right? Contrary to your assertion, PDP will not stab Saraki in the back like APC does, they will stand firm with him and if need be the fight will get dirty sooner than later.

Buhari's asset declaration is a sham and a scam, his WASC certificate saga is a scam, Nigeria is calm today because the issue of buhari's disqualification was down played for safety of peace and order. Tinubu and Buhari should know that when you point 1 finger at someone, at least 3 fingers points back at you. Let's see how the event plays out.

Many of these PDP guys you speak of have personal fights of their own to fight from David Mark to aunty Stella and our cocaine Alhaji from Ogun state

for press consumption and pseudo-criticism to fulfill judicial rites

The Federal Government will, on Friday, arraign the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Abuja, over allegations bordering on false and improper declaration of assets allegedly acquired during his tenure as governor of Kwara State from 2003 to 2011.

The 13-count charge against Saraki, Tribune Online gathered, was filed before the tribunal by the Code of Conduct Bureau through the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation.

A source at the Code of Conduct Tribunal told Tribune Online that the Senate President had been served with the charge sheet and would be arraigned on Friday. Count one of the 13-count charge reads: "That you, Dr. Bukola Saraki, while being the executive governor of Kwara State on or about 16th September, 2003 within the jurisdiction of this tribunal, did make a false declaration in assets declaration form for public officers on assumption of office as governor of Kwara State by making an anticipatory asset declaration in that you claimed to have owned and acquired No. 15A and N0. 15B, McDonald Ikoyi, Lagos, through your company, Carlisle Properties Limited in 2006 when the said property was in actual fact sold by the Implementation Committee on Federal Government landed property in 2006 to your companies, Tiny Tee Limited and Vitti Oil Limited for the aggregate sum of N396,150, 000 and you hereby committed an offence under Section 15 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Cap C15, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and incorporated under paragraph 11(1) and (2) of Part 1, 5th schedule to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) and punishable under Section 23(2) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act and incorporated under paragraph 18 of part 1, 5th schedule to the constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).

According to the charge sheet, Saraki was also accused of operating an American Express credit card account during his tenure as governor, where he allegedly wired at least $3.4 million from a Nigerian account. The law bars public officers from operating foreign bank accounts while in service.

Code Of Conduct is desperate to witch hunt Saraki for Buhari and Tinubu but I know for a fact they have goofed on this one! That 15 Macdonald was Saraki property before the man became governor because my friend lived there then and it was Saraki's house. CCB did not do their work well at all at all! That Macdonald road has many houses bearing duplicate numbers because there are several closes off that road. Code of Conduct cannot win this case, Saraki will wipe the floor with them. Nothing do am.

No wonder Saraki said he will see them in court, yeye Code of Conduct that cannot conduct verification, now joining in political witch hunt. Saraki is SP, nothing do am

I de laf in ijaw
Frm d comment here ,it seems many don't knw d true saraki.
Saraki is very smart n tactical.
Even with murder ,manslaughter ,forgery and criminal charges against hm, Saraki will finish his 4yrs,take it or leave it.
Saraki will alwys av d backing of d pdp togeda with d minority apc ,Dino n hs gang

In fact, make I no talk. Saraki has many properties on that road, maybe one na government auction oo, but that 15a and b, the man don get am since long time before him become governor, I even know the person wey sell am to him sef, no be government property lai lai. So Code of Conduct themselves dey do misconduct? Na Liar Mohammed dey deceive them? Useless country

Old cargo. Stop spitting dirty saliva all over me.

^^^Perfect response.

The charges were prepared by M.S. Hassan, a deputy director in the office of the Attorney General of the Federation.

In a statement by his media office the Senate President dismissed the charges as false, frivolous and politically motivated.

Senior lawyers, who spoke to Daily Trust on condition of anonymity yesterday, said upon conviction the Senate President could be asked to forfeit the said assets, vacate office and be banned from holding any public office for 10 years.

Also, credible sources at the headquarters of the EFCC told Daily Trust yesterday that the anti-graft agency was planning to indict the Senate President on money laundering charges.

The sources said on condition of anonymity that the EFCC may prosecute him on money laundering and financial crime charges ‘predicated’ on the Code of Conduct Bureau’s charges.

The sources also said an ongoing investigation in the financial activities of Saraki’s wife, Toyin could also implicate the Senate President.

EFCC ghost "sources" will soon say the wife Toyin Saraki never had a kobo till Saraki became governor as if she is that Tinubu's hooligan wife! Is it not "efcc sources" that said the woman was shocked, shaken, uncertain, dem dem only for us to see pics of the woman cool as cucumber after how many days grilling? The way EFCC and CoC keep shouting "sources" to press is what makes me sure Saraki and his wife are innocent! Haba how long everyday Saraki this and that? Are these Saraki's that important? Who is so affected by their existence that the whole country governance must stand still? Abi na 2019 battle? 1977 probe comes to mind ojare, that thing is still paining GMB

The man and his family are busy eating my state's money for so long. Wicked man.
