President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the
attempts to link the ongoing trial of the Senate
President Bukola Saraki to him are unacceptable.
President Buhari said this in a statement on
Sunday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media
and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu.

He said views to the effect that the Code of
Conduct Bureau (CCB) and the Code of Conduct
Tribunal (CCT) could only act upon external
instigation were equally uninformed.

According to the presidential aide, there is no
place in law that the Bureau and the Tribunal
should take instructions from any quarters.

He said as an independent institution equal to any
superior court of record; the tribunal is set up by
the constitution to determine the issue of default,
false declaration or forgery in assets declaration.

"This therefore is purely a judicial process and
has nothing to do with the Presidency", he said.
He said those who had an axe to grind with what
they are doing should do it in a judicial manner
by challenging those actions in a proper court of
law.

"Let them hire a good team of lawyers to prove
their innocence," Shehu said.

"Government has no desire to persecute anybody.
The President has vowed to respect the rule of
law and this is what he is doing by staying out of
this matter. He has said times without number
that the war against corruption has no sacred
cows," he added.

Shehu noted that "Even if the president wants to
help, there is no way he can do anything. Is he
going to ask the judge to stop the trial?"

hmmmmmm

Buhari belongs to nobody on this issue. let the rule of law stand

Word!in few words.. YOU STAND ALONE.

What exactly did Nigerians want with the way we politicise everything and attach sentiment to every issues left one in oblivion if truly if Nigerians desire change attributing every case and people indicted of corruption as witch hunting is nothing but leading the way back to Egypt may God help us.
Please mr. Saraki go and answer your name before the judge
