Senate President Bukola Saraki’s battle to prevent his appearance before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) collapsed yesterday.

His lawyers, Joseph Daudu (SAN) and Adebayo Adelodun (SAN), argued passionately against his appearance at the CCT where he is charged with alleged false declaration of assets, but the tribunal restated its order that the Inspector General of Police and other security agencies should arrest Saraki and produce him before the tribunal at 10am today.

The Court of Appeal, Abuja before which Adelodun argued an ex-parte application for an order setting aside the warrant of arrest issued on Friday against Saraki refused the application. It ordered Saraki to put the respondents on notice and fixed September 29 for the hearing of his substantive appeal.

At the Federal High Court, Abuja where Adelodun equally argued another motion on behalf of Saraki, for an order restraining the CCT and the Ministry of Justice from proceeding with the Senate President’s trial, Justice Ahmed Mohammed refused to grant the order. He adjourned till September 30 for the hearing of Saraki’s pending substantive suit and the objection filed against it by the respondents.

At the resumption of proceedings yesterday before the tribunal, prosecution lawyer Rotimi Jacobs (SAN) on noticing that Saraki was absent, urged the tribunal to inquire from his lawyer, Joseph Daudu (SAN), why his client was absent despite the undertaking he gave on Friday to produce Saraki in court today.

Jacobs said he prevailed on his client not to execute the bench warrant on account of the undertaking by Daudu. He said he was taken aback that Daudu failed to fulfill his promise.

When asked by the tribunal Chairman Justice Danladi Umar why his client was absent despite his (Daudu’s) promise to produce him, Daudu said he was not sure the tribunal actually expected him to produce his client.

Na wah o

Distractions everywhere!
Is Saraki the problem of this country now? How about unemployment, Insurgency, Insecurity, power sector, Declining state of education, kidnapping is now part of the system, etc. There are many things to focus on rather than chasing Bukola Saraki. Either Saraki is impeached or not, the problems of Nigeria remain thesame. Is this the drama we are going to watch for four years? Chasing corrupt officers all about like super Mario bros. Despite the celebration of victory against Bokko Haram, bomb is still killing people and Nigeria army claimed they killed shekau but he released another video last week. The military officers that fought against Bokko Haram got promoted when Kidnaped Chibok girls are still out there........what are we even celebrating?
PMB is trying and I love him but distractions are everywhere in this government. Our journey is still far and we can't just be watching and celebrating in defeat.
SAI BUHARI!!! We love you but don't make us feel like we are directionless. Don't work alone.....release the ministerial list and let's keep going. All politicians are corrupt but you can caution your ministers.
