Challenges the jurisdiction of the CCT to try him
The Supreme Court will today, February 5, rule on the appeal of the Senate president Bukola Saraki, challenging the decision of the Appeal Court which upheld the decision that the code of conduct tribunal (CCT) has the authority to try him for corruption-related charges.
Senate president Bukola Saraki is facing a 13-count charge of false assets declaration, which he allegedly made in 2003 as Governor of Kwara State before the CCT.
The Senate president, according to Sahara Reporters, had challenged the jurisdiction of the tribunal on the ground that it lacked jurisdiction to try him and that it was not properly constituted.
He also argued that it comprised two instead of three members as provided for by the constitution.
But the Court of Appeal ruled that that it was within the CCT’s jurisdiction to try Saraki in a split judgment.
However, a 3-man panel on the Supreme Court on December 4, 2015, ordered a stay of proceeding by the tribunal, pending the determination of the appeal and asked the counsels to exchange their brief of argument within 14 days. The apex court then fixed February 5, 2016, to deliver its judgement.

Same old story.

Let's see what becomes of our senate President.

Corruption fighting back through PDP is making it very hard for the CCT chairman to send this man to prison. He is not wise like Dogara.

Let the law take preeminence today.

I though he was supposed to step down until after the case.
