This is rubbish. You don't need to have a foreign bank account to have access to American express credit card. Infact, the prosecutors should be prosecuted for wasting tax payers money as a result of their ignorance. Obviously this case is going no where. NB- who are they going to replace Saraki with sef? Same senators that kept quiet when 800+ people were slaughtered in southern kaduna or those that turned blind eye when several Shiites were slaughtered. Abeg we don't want another Buhari as senate president... I am sure Jagaban himself would have learnt his lesson and already thanking his god for the unsuccessful attempt to install a Buhari stooge as the SP. What I don't understand is if Saraki removal will reduce the price of kerosine and gas...not mentioning other increase that we have gotten accustomed to. Infact make Saraki sef scatter everything make we start all over. Impeach the murderers once and for all

Dont get any hope of him resigning or of anything coming out of this case.
The govt is tactically trying to save face by continuing with the prosecution which will linger till middle-late 2018,then judgement will be reserved indefinitely,entering into d election and end of d present senate.
Saraki has bcome d good man of d president and APC who av convinced d president his prosecution was orchestrated by Tinubu loyalists(like d embattled SGF) & that Saraki is needed for d president's 2nd term bid.
But in other not to dramatically drop d case and create more sceptism in an increasingly sceptical public about d corruption fight,the charade of a trial will drag on,and after the 2019 election,d CCT chairman wud be persuaded to return a verdict of d prosecution not able to prove d charges beyond all reasonable doubt.
Saraki's only sacrifice probably agreed upon is to continue bearing d inconvenience of appearing at d CCT,that at d end reports of d trial and revelations in the conventional or online media will only av an embarassing effect because Nigerians are notoriously known to be all noise and no effect.

as a senator or president can you operate PayPal account?... Nobody is saying you can't argue it but the point is that there is a very remote chance of the prosecutors winning this. If you can operate a paypal account then how will you convict someone with AMEX credit card... Infact our laws don't recognize Amex as a bank...talk another one

The only set of people that can remove saraki from that seat is the people of kwara central constituency. They know he's a thief that should be stoned. After he embezzle huge money when he was in pdp still he's not satisfied with d money now he's now embezzling huge money again in the state. The people of kwara state should please wake up. Saraki should be defeated politically and material. Bukola saraki and her wife will never know no peace for embezzling d government funds.

how is PayPal credit card different from AMEX credit card? You don't have to bank with Chase or capital one before you have their credit card...meanwhile chase and capital one are banks...but American express is different... My point is that having AMEX card is different from having bank account with Chase, Capital one or even GT bank. I am not a fan of Saraki but wasting scarce resources on prosecuting case that might likely end up in the trash is not worth it...especially in a situation where some of us have started as Saraki as a possible agent to stop Buhari if his handler eventually decided to turn him into dictator

To start with all credit card companies are BANKS.Depending on what product you are offered so be it, I have a Barclays, savings,current account and also thier credit card cos interest with your bank is always low.
In actual fact payPal credit card is new and bears no weight whatsoever,its Rubbish not worth mentioning Ok!.
AMEX is the most powerful credit card on earth, You need a bank account, I mean any bank account in the country you are applying from to get ne,if we have AMEX in Nigeria you then need a bank Account in Nigeria to apply for one.This is waht I meant.Now do banks in Nigeria issue Amex cards? NO only in four countries in Africa,kenya,South Africa, Egypt and Ethiopia.SO to get teh AMEX card he has to own a bank account in these countries or Europe and America so that teh Direct Debit can be SET.This is why I said he must own a foreign bank account of any other bank for AMEX to collect thier money back.

Please donate $20 or more to help alleviate the suffering of our fellow Nigerians in the North that are starving. Yesterday, I read a New York Times article that highlighted an organization that provides services for people affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. The name of the organization is International Rescue Committee and I have provided a link to the article and the rescue agency for you to peruse. I am writing because I love for people who are able to donate to help further the work that rescue organizations are providing to our brethren. We are our brother's keepers and as Nigerians we should look out for each other. We complain about how other people treat us and show disregard for our sufferings because of our skin color but when it is time to put actions behind our words, we have problems showing up. Please do your own part in making the world a better place.
Another article that I came across that also discussed the plight of our starving brethren was titled “Why Doctors Without Borders Is Adding Food To Its Medical Bag” by National Public Radio and it was published on January 11, 2017. I would love for you to also read this article so you can better understand what people in the North are suffering.

Bank manager testifying against Saraki says he doesn’t know what the issues are

January 17
15:26
2017

‎Nwachukwu Amazu, head of the fund transfer unit of the Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), on Tuesday, said he did not know much about the documents he testified on.

Amazu said this while being cross-examined by Paul Usoro, counsel to Senate President Bukola Saraki, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

Earlier, he had testified that Saraki transferred funds to his accounts in the United States (US) and London at the time he was Kwara state governor.

“The customer, Dr Saraki, with the address Government House, Ilorin‎, gave an instruction to transfer $73, 223.28‎ to the beneficiary, American Express Services Europe Limited through their bank, American Express Bank of New York‎, for ‎the funding of the amount utilised on Amex card issued to the customer (dollar credit card) No: 374588216836009‎,” he had said.

He had also said that “from his (Saraki’s) pound sterling account at GTB to his Fortis Bank account in London, 761, 904.76 pounds was transferred ‎on the 15th February, 2010″.

It is against Nigerian laws for a public officer to operate foreign bank accounts.

He had given his testimony while being led in evidence by Rotimi Jacobs, counsel to the federal government and prosecution.

But under cross-examination, Usoro asked him when he made his statement to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and he said it was on 10 September, 2015 , five days after Saraki was summoned by the tribunal.

He also admitted that there was no evidence to show‎ that the defendant operated those accounts.

He said the transfer of funds to American Express Bank of New York was for accounts operated by American Card Services, and not by the defendant‎.

‎Contrary to his earlier testimony that an operator of a credit card must have a bank account, Amazu said the issuer of Saraki’s credit card was not a bank.

Here is a rundown of the dialogue in parts.

Usoro: Who issued the documents you testified on?

Witness: It was issued by the bank‎.

Usoro: But in the documents, it says public sector group of Ilorin, is that correct?

Witness: Yes.

Usoro: So, you have nothing to do with it?

Witness: Yes.

‎Witness: My lord, I want to say something… I don’t know what the issues in the documents are. The prosecution was only asking me questions and I was responding.

Usoro: You were not in the funds transfer unit when these funds were transferred on 15 February, 2010, is that correct?

Witness: Yes.

Usoro: The first time you saw these documents was in regard to this matter?

Witness: Yes

‎Usoro: You have nothing to do with the documentation of these fund transfers, is that correct?

‎Witness: Yes.

How can a so called GTB Banker not know that an Amex card is not a bank account? How can a so called GTB Banker not know that his evidence that Saraki paid his Amex card from his declared dominiciary account in Nigeria proves that CCT case is a witch hunt? How can a so called CCT not know that Amex even had an office in Nigeria for many years? Saraki does not need any foreign account to have Amex card. Anybody with card just needs a bank account, not a foreign account.

Not only is it rubbish witch hunt, Nigerians are waiting to hear details of how Aisha Buhari who "does not accept financial assistance" from nigeria embassy in London for herself and claims she sponsors her entourage pays for their food and cars and accommodation for weeks in UK when the cash limit is $10,000. If Nigerians now hear she uses a credit card after announcing closure of her massage salon will CCT drag Buhari?
