Former Governor of Kwara State and the embattled Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has reacted officially to the ruling of the Supreme Court dismissing his appeal that sought to stop his corruption trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
A statement signed by his spokesperson, Yusuph Olaniyonu, hints at another appeal. Below is the full text of his reaction:
"After listening to the ruling of the Supreme Court in the
appeal he filed to challenge the process of arraigning him before the
Code of Conduct Tribunal, Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki
hereby states as follows :
1. He expresses disappointment over the Judgment of the apex court in the country on the six grounds of his appeal
2. He however will like to put it on record that the facts of
the substantial matter are not before the Supreme Court since the apex
court was only invited to rule on some preliminary issues in the process
of commencing the trial.
3. The Senate President believes he will have his day in the
court to prove his innocence of the charges preferred against him during
the trial proper.
4. Dr. Saraki will like to thank everyone who has expressed
support for him from the beginning of the case. He assures everyone that
at the end of the day truth will prevail and justice will be served.
Signed,
Yusuph Olaniyonu.
Special Adviser (Media and Publicity) to the Senate President."
