Ade Adesomoju, Abuja

The Code of Conduct Tribunal has dismissed the motion by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, seeking to quash the 13 counts of false and anticipatory assets declaration preferred against him.
The Danladi Umar-led tribunal resolved all the issues raised ‎by the Senate President against him and affirmed that it had jurisdiction to hear the case.
Umar who read the ruling directed that the prosecution to open its case, ruling that contrary to Saraki’s contention, the Attorney-General of the Federa‎tion was competent to institute charges before the CCT.
The tribunal also ruled that Saraki’s contention that he was being prosecuted for offences allegedly committed about 13 years ago was out of place.
It also held that the Saraki’s reliance on its (CCT’s) earlier ruling dismissing the charges against a former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, was wrong.
Umar held that the t‎ribunal had since realised that the ruling discharging Tinubu was made in error.
While the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), said he already had his first witness in court, the lead defence counsel, Mr. Kanu Agabi (SAN), asked for an adjournment to prepare for trial.
The tribunal chairman agreed with the defence counsel, insisting that criminal cases must not be rushed.
He adjourned the trial till May 5.

This SarakI and his legal team can play all the games they want with the Judiciary,eventually the Judiciary will get tired of their antics and BAM jail time.

Counting the days before Saraki is jailed.

Yesterday was passage of 2016 budget and today is Saraki loses again on Code of Conduct.....who knows what tomorrow will be?
