Saraki I Have The Facts, I Will Expose You – Governor El-rufai by phemmyutd(m): 7:21pm On Oct 18, 2015 |
*El-Rufai, four others to testify at CCT Oct 21
The Federal Government has told the Court of
Appeal sitting in Abuja that it now has sufficient
evidence to establish that the Senate President,
Bukola Saraki, as a public officer, corruptly
acquired several assets beyond his legitimate
earnings
The prosecutor, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, equally
told the appellate court that five witnesses lined-
up against the Senate President, have all
expressed their readiness to appear before the
Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, on October 21, to
testify and tender exhibits against Saraki.
It will be recalled that among those that the
Federal Government billed to give oral testimony
against Saraki are former Minister of the Federal
Capital Territory and current governor of Kaduna
State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
A source said Governor El-Rufai said he's ready
to testify and that he was the one who sold one
of the assets that Saraki bought in Abuja which
the government alleged he failed to list among
the assets he acquired while in office as the
governor of Kwara State . If he expose this in
court, it will nail Saraki.
The prosecution also told the court that Saraki
has already been furnished with all the proofs of
evidence against him, including copies of four
separate assets declaration forms that he earlier
submitted before the Code of Conduct Bureau,
CCB.
Jacobs urged the appellate court to dismiss the
Saraki's appeal and order him to go to CCT and
clear his name. He is also alleged to have owned
and operated foreign bank accounts while being a
public officer.
Saraki, in his appeal, has challenged the legal
propriety of the 13-count criminal charge
preferred against him by the Federal Ministry of
Justice.
Protect me from politically motivated witch-hunt,
Saraki begs Appeal Court
However, Saraki, aside challenging the charges,
also queried the constitutionality of the warrant of
arrest initially issued against him by Chairman of
the CCT, Justice Danladi Umar.
Besides, the Senate President, through his team
of lawyers led by J.B. Daudu, SAN, wants the
higher court to ascertain whether or not the
Justice Umar-led panel subscribed to the
appropriate legal procedure when it ordered him
to mount the dock and enter his plea to the
charges despite preliminary objections against
his trial.
He raised 12 grounds of appeal against the CCT,
supported by a 16-paragraph affidavit and four
exhibits. Saraki also deposed another 17-
paragraphed affidavit of urgency, wherein he
urged the higher court to intervene and protect
him from what he described as “a politically
motivated witch-hunt.”
He specifically urged the appellate court to
suspend the proceeding of the tribunal pending
the hearing and determination of the substantive
appeal against the CCT.
A’Court refuses plea to stop CCT’s proceedings
At the resumed sitting on Friday, a three-man
panel of judges led by Justice Moore Adumein,
struck out the application by Saraki for a stay of
further proceedings of the tribunal. It was the
view of the panel that the application has been
overtaken by events.
Earlier, Saraki had through his counsel, argued
that the CCT erred in law by going ahead with the
trial despite that fact that “it was not properly
constituted.” He contended that whereas the
Constitution provides for a three-man panel to sit
over cases brought before the tribunal, he said
that only two judges sat on September 22 when
he was docked.
He claimed the composition of the tribunal was in
violation of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.
But the Court of Appeal refused to give in to such
trivialities.

Saraki's trial will not get to any sensible ending but what I would like is the exposure of the writer of "the accidental public servant" anytime soon. |

Politicians will settle themselves. They always leverage against themselves. You can't hardly box them into a corner. You can't nail Saraki that easy. It is to cheap for me. So, leave them and bother about yourself. |
