MY CCT TRIAL NEVER CAME UP AT NEW PDP MEETING WITH OSINBAJO, SAYS SARAKI

Saraki said he will want it known that he is not interested in any settlement of the asset declaration case outside the judicial process, stressing that he is confident that the court will give him justice and he will be exonerated of all charges as can be seen by the verdicts of the CCT and the Court of Appeal.

‘In fact, he maintains his earlier position that the trial was politically and maliciously motivated. The Senate President’s only concern is that all interested parties should allow the judiciary to freely and fairly decide on the issues before it. Dr. Saraki believes in the rule of law, independence of the judiciary and ability of the court to adjudicate on all matters’.

The Senate President said he has consistently exhibited a strong belief that nobody should compromise national interest with personal issues, adding that this has guided his actions, conduct and utterances in the performance of his official duties in the last three years, despite the persistent persecution and intimidation directed at him.

‘While urging Nigerians to ignore the speculations contained in The Nation’s story, Dr. Saraki maintains that there is no reason for him to depart from his avowed principle that the nation is greater than any individual, including himself’.
