Over the past few months, the embattled senate president Bukola Saraki, has been moving from one court to another in order to stop his false asset declaration trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

In several interviews the senate president has declare that his trial at Code of Conduct Tribunal can be described as ” Witch Hunt ” strategy by his opposition to score a political point against him and not to forget that the avenue where by Saraki becomes the 8th senate president was not cool with his political party (APC).

Mr Saraki was not the preferred candidate by his party to become the Senate president, but he seek helping hand votes from the opposition party People Democratic Party (PDP) senators alongside with his own loyal senators in APC before he could emerge as 8th Senate President.

Allegations Lead to His Resignation Request by Nigerians

Ever since he has become the senate president, the leaders of APC, Nigerians and even the presidency see him as an ambitions person that need to watch out for in the nearest future, but his asset declare with allegation by the Code of Conduct Tribunal change everything for him.

At the early stage Saraki try everything not to approved invitation by the CCT to appear in court but finally he appear ta his first trial on September 22, 2015, where he was accompanied to the tribunal by at least 50 senators for the upper chamber.

On Friday, 15th, April, 2016, a federal high court dismissed the application Saraki seeking nullification of his ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

However, Saraki has been brought before the tribunal has been running from one court to the other trying to frustrate his trial. The Appeal and Supreme courts recently told him to go prove his innocence at the tribunal, but the senate president started another around of application to stall his trial.

Saraki must go.
And you think Buhari has one?

I don't even want Saraki to seek any mediation so that the hypocrisy of this government will lie bare before the world.

Below are some of the achievements recorded by the 8th assembly in months under Dr. Abubakar Saraki

●The 8th Senate set up an ad-hoc committee to unravel the companies that were granted import waivers to the detriment of the Nigerian economy, and tasked the committee to ensure that the companies remit the money back into the coffers of government;

●For the first time, the Senate showed concern for the plight of Boko Haram victims and internally displaced people in the country. Led by the Senate President, senators paid a visit to some of the camps to identify with the victims;

●The ad-hoc committee of the Senate led by former governor of Kebbi state, Alhaji Adamu Aliero, is currently probing the power sector where the permanent secretary of the Federal Ministry of power, Godknows Igali, has revealed that over N2.77 trillion has been spent on power generation since 1999;

●The Senate under Saraki passed motions that led to the review of electricity tariffs by the National Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC). The Senate on Tuesday, August 11, asked the NERC to immediately abolish fixed charges on electricity consumption, and bulk marketing of villages and communities.

In spite of these modest achievements registered by the 8th Senate in months, the 7th National Assembly will also be perpetually remembered for the failure to pass the Petroleum Industry Bill. Although it was passed by the House of Representatives on the last legislative day of the four year term.

More success needs to be recorded and achieved by the 8th Senate as the whole Nigerians are watching them, most especially the call for open Nass which has also given birth to the promises made by the leadership of the 8th assembly to always take Nigerians along in all their quests for a #Openass.
