CCT: North- Central Leaders Back Saraki, Seeks Stoppage Of His Trial
By Abdullahi Olesin, Ilorin
Leaders of thought in the north- central yesterday called for the immediate dismissal of the on going trial of the Senate president, Dr Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
Addressing a World press conference in Ilorin, Kwara state yesterday, the leaders of thought said that they rejected in its entirety  the CCT's judgment of ‎ March 24th 2016. 
The spokesman of the group, Senator Ahmed Mohammed on behalf of the people of  north central zone called on President Muhammadu Buhari not to be indifferent to the injustice and abuse of legal system in the country as "being perpetrated" by Jistice Umar Danladi  at the CCT.  
He said the recent pronouncement by eminent Jurists on the illegality of the CCT and that it lacks  the power to prosecute Saraki was  enough to prompt presidential action on the "impunity" of Justice Danladi.  
Mohammed added that "on our part we  make bold to say that we would reject what ever is the outcome of this illegal and Kangaroo trial under Umar Danladi who himself was alleged to  have criminal charges hanging on his neck while  the Tribunal has also  been declared incompetent by eminent legal luminary.
"Therefore we call for the immediate dismissal of the on going trial at CCT but should this injustice and political persecution continue then Chief Ahmed Bola Tinubu  must be re -arraigned  immediately .
"We have refrained from speaking about the trial of the President of the Senate Dr Bukola Saraki before the Code of Conduct Tribunal ‎CCT because of our belief that it was an issue that would stand  the test of truth, equity and justice. 
"BUT it has become significant to raise our voice at this juncture not only for posterity, but  because of the pronouncement  of Justice Danladi Umar which established clearly that double standard is reigning supreme". 
Justifying their call for president presidential intervention, Mohammed noted that Saraki did not only deliver Kwara state 100% to APC in the last general elections, he was a pillar in the North central.
"If fair is fair Dr Saraki deserve to be the most commended politician in APC", he submitted.
The leaders of thought spokesman added that "in the six  geo-political zones of Nigeria, APC used to have  only one Governor in Nasarawa before Kwara  joined. Today APC rules in all the states of North central for the party,courtesy of the outstanding role he played with others . "There is no other zone that came from one out of six governors to six over six today. APC also has the most number in National Assembly, state ‎Assemblies and local councils. 
"Unfortunately at this moment  he is being condemned , persecuted and vilified by the party he helped to build and win.
"If we review his leadership at the Senate and chairmanship of the National Assembly in the last nine  months is there anyone  who has not seen the high capacity demonstrated by Dr Bukola Saraki  in the conduct of business at the upper house and coordination of the national Assembly ? 
"For the first time since 1999, the budget was passed the same day in both chambers with similar figures without any need for a joint committee to harmonise their differences. Harmonisation was done from the start.  
"With the senate search light on Treasury Single Account (TSA ) Nigeria is saving over N600m  everyday. The war against Boko Haram is being won because the National Assembly approved the funds. He brought succour to Nigerians from cancellation of fixed PHCN charges from DISCO tariff. And saved the nation from labour strike in that regard‎ among many other laudable and progressives steps and decision taken in the best interest of our dear Nation. 
"As leaders in the zone that produced Senate President we are compelled to cry out on the injustice being done to our ‎Illustrious son, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the  President of the Senate".
