Saraki Reveals When He Will Appear Before Code Of Conduct Tribunal

The Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has said he will appear before the Code of Conduct Tribunal on Tuesday, following the continuous request that he be made to appear to clear himself of the standing allegation of false declaration of asset.

A statement from the media office of the Senate President said, ”while the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, had stated and maintained that he is ready to submit himself to due process of the law on any issue concerning him, he also believes that he has an inalienable right to resort to the same judiciary for protection when he feels his fundamental rights are about to be infringed upon.”

The statement further affirmed that Saraki was a law abiding citizen and that his absence from the tribunal was based on the legal advice he received from his counsel that it was not necessary for him to appear before the tribunal at this stage since the jurisdiction of the tribunal and the process of initiating the matter were being challenged before the federal High Court in Abuja.
