If the Supreme Court rules in favour of Saraki, it effectively renders the CCT useless bcus that would serve as a judicial precedence which no other court can go against.....

From 81 to 35.The number is gradually reducing.
By d time the cct begins the main trial and these senators know it's no laughing matter ,less than 10 will accompany him next time.

Senate President Bukola Saraki has arrived at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) where is trial for alleged false declaration of assets continues.
‎
He arrived in company of numerous ‎senators at 9:45am. TheCable counted at least 35 of them, who were seated in six long seats on the left side of the courtroom.‎

When ‎Saraki was at the tribunal on October 21, he came with 81 senators.

Some of the senators were Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate president (PDP); Sam Anyanwu (PDP), Andy Uba (PDP), Adamu Aleiro (APC), Shehu Sani (APC), Dino Melaye (APC), Tayo Alasoadura (APC), Kabiru Gaya (APC) and Uche Ekwunife (PDP).

Saraki was in court for the first time on September 22, after an order for his arrest by the CCT.‎ He pleaded‎ not guilty to 13-count charges of false declaration of assets, and said he was on trial because of his emergence as senate president against the wish of certain people‎.

Although, he came to the tribunal voluntarily, he had sought to stop his trial at the high court, but failed.

On October 30, the appeal court also dismissed Saraki’s application to stop his trial at the CCT for lack of merit.‎
‎
Consequently, he appealed to the supreme court to set aside the judgment of the appeal court.

The case is yet to come up for hearing at the apex court.
‎‎
This is his third appearance at the CCT.‎ On his second appearance on October 21, the tribunal adjourned his trial‎ on the grounds that there was a pending judgment at the court of appeal.

I've asked severally but he dodges the question.

modath:
Good morning, leave my bros alone ooo, PDP members are saints, it's APC members that are corrupting them.

@Midolian: if you ask me, SR overstepped their limits here. I hope the sender of that message doesn't sue them for invasion of privacy and publication of that phone number without consent.

PrettyClare7:
He needs moral encouragement. But on a serious note what will the presence of other lawmakers achieve. He wants everyone to witness his shame

dexpee4life:

Firefire:
APC, corruption cries to the heavenly.

SaharaReporters has obtained a copy of a text message sent out to Nigerian Senators urging them to accompany embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki to his corruption trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja tomorrow (November 5 2015).

Mr. Saraki and the leadership of the Senate have consistently shut down the Senate to enable senators to storm the venue of the CCT tribunal in a show of solidarity. In previous outings, more than 60 senators had showed up with Mr. Saraki at his hearings. Some civil rights activists have accused Mr. Saraki of using Nigerian taxpayers’ time and funds to attend to his personal corruption trial.
 
Yesterday, Mr. Saraki adjourned the sitting of the Senate until November 10, shortly after releasing the list of newly constituted committees of the Senate.
  
A copy of the text message to senators, signed by one “Arthur,” self-identified as “Director of Protocol to Saraki,” read:

Gdevenin Distinguishr. Wish to inform dt Buses are available 2moro mrnin to convey Senators wishing to accompany H/E d Senate President.
Departure is at 9 am frm d house @ 22 Yesderan Str. by IGP’s House Maitama. Regards. -Arthur (dir’ of Prot. S/P). +2348077770119

The Imo State governor and Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has advised people of the South-East zone to refrain from harboring bad blood against people of other parts of the country, if they are serious about producing the country’s President in the future.

Okorocha, who made this known yesterday while fielding questions from newsmen in Owerri, the Imo state capital, declared that he has been vindicated by the eventual victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the March 28 election.

According to him, “I appeal to Ndigbo to avoid unnecessary bickering and antagonism with the North, West and other parts of the country, so as to brighten the prospects of a president of Igbo extraction in future.”

While noting that Rivers and Akwa Ibom states are very strategic to the All Progressives Congress, APC, and that the electorate in the two states voted overwhelmingly for the APC in the last election, he alleged that, “their votes were stolen by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, through various forms of electoral malpractices.”

Although he refused to disclose the strategies his APC political platform intends to use in sacking PDP in Rivers and Akwa Ibom States, the APC bigwig however noted that plans were on to actualize the target.

On why his administration was yet to appoint commissioners and special advisers, the Governor said it has enabled him to save money for the state, for capital projects, explaining that, “If I appoint them now, they will start demanding for impress, traveling allowance, hazard allowance and this is outside their monthly pay. This has enabled me save some money for the state, for capital projects.”

Asked why all public taps in the state have dried up, he noted that he preferred sinking water boreholes for communities instead of procuring chemicals, maintaining machines and other facilities.
