In another desperate attempt to evade justice, Senate President Bukola Saraki convened a meeting last night in his home with "likeminded" Senators during which they agreed to go after two of the major laws that have ensnared him
As a result, following resumption from the Senate’s long recess today, the Senators went into a private plenary session, and two bills were promptly listed on the Senate Order Paper, seeking amendments to the Nigerian Constitution.

The bills, which have now already undergone First Reading, are:
The Code of Conduct Act CAP C15 LFN 2004 (Amendment) Bill, 2016 (SB 248), nominally sponsored by Peoples Democratic Party Senator Peter Nwaboshi (Delta North); and
The Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 (Amendment) Bill 2016 (SB 249), sponsored by Senator Isah Misau representing Bauchi Central.

The invitation to last night’s meeting in Saraki’s home was sent by former “anti-corruption” crusader Dino Melaye, using the mobile telephone number of Peter Makanjuola (0803 390 3330).
Makanjuola is Saraki's Deputy Chief of Staff. The strategy seemed to have been to send the invitation using that phone to avoid detection.

One Senator, who attended the meeting, said that when concern was expressed that President Muhammad Buhari would veto the bill, Saraki told them he had enough support in the Senate and the House of Representatives to override such a veto.

During the meeting at Saraki’s home, he took the opportunity to announce to members of his core support group that he has ordered the purchase of Toyota Landcruiser V8 engine Sport Utility vehicles to be given to each Senator.

The Senate President is hoping that greed will override common sense and that with each Senator getting a car, his support base would be solidified.

Our Senate source noted that 36 cars have already been purchased, each one costing N35 million each.

I see

Corruption of the highest order.

Not surprised, house of thieves.

Nigeria is a country that always claims to be an apostle of Western lifestyle, politics per say but when bring to bare are likened with Uganda, Congo, Pakistan, Zimbabwe and d likes where sit-tight mentality of rulers run rampant. Only on Monday the 11th the British prime minister David Cameron gave a startling defence befitting a leader to d parliament to dispel d allege Panama paper leak scandal which His people gladly accepted after showing publicly his tax information for the 1st time in British politics. However, contrast that with what we are seeing in our country today; that a public servant in a position as a senate president was indicted for tax fraud(Panama leak), perjury and lack of transparency and instead of him to honourably resign his post is busy making amends with the so called 'Like-minds' senators to divert d course of the very laws they are saddled to make in d first place. #LetUsOccupyAbujaTillTheyAllResign

Chai, una don come abi. If this issues doesn't kill this guy, it can make him more stronger

Hmm justice Danladi umar please I am running out of patient, please just give saraki only 17yr in prison all this nonsense meeting here and there will be over.

Very desperate, power-drunk thief. They should receive the gifts and still send his sorry asss to kuje.

Am not even surprised saraki and his family that made kwara people soo poor. Took everything from dem. Change dier laws to free dose he wanted n changed again to jail. We need to stop him now. He is a base omen. He will corrupt the whole system. Nothing will come out of this APC rule with him as nass head. He has no goal in life Dan to scramble for power and steal.

Every senator at that meeting must be scrapped. Dino maleye I think it is time for him to go.

Truly Nigeria is a Banana Republic.....this Saraki bastard is taking too much why can't we have snipers around. Imagine a corrupt rogue like this still scheming hard to be relevant...What is going?

thanks Allah for a leader like Seriki.
buhari want to use hungry to kill people in this country.
but leaders like Seriki is giving government a man face

The Nigerian Senate remains the last bastion of corruption in our country. ..their fortress is literally impregnable.

Politics is war; if you don't shoot and duck, others will take you off. Saraki is only fighting for survival. I don't like him and wish he leaves the office, but, before we scream corruption let us not forget that PMB too rose to power from the proceeds of corruption from the likes of Amaechi.

Where is my common sense senator o!
