It is no longer news that the incumbent Senate President of Nigeria, Bukola Saraki is facing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) over false declaration of assets.
Though it is a claim in some quarters that he is being persecuted due to the role he played as to his emergence as the senate president.
It will be recalled that he, Bukola Saraki disobeyed his Party's order, All Progressives Congress (APC) as to its decision on who to be fielded as the number one person in the hallow chamber during their inauguration (8th Assembly).
The rest of what happened on that day is now history.
Initially, Bukola Saraki decided not to show up at the first sitting of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on his trial but latter said that he did that due to the professional counsel that he received from his legal team.
He approached the Appeal Court to stop Code of Conduct Tribunal's (CCT) proceedings but he case was thrown out for lack of merit. But has headed to the Supreme Court now on same issue.
But the resent development is disturbing, moving virtually all the senators to his trial should be condemned by all.
Though people like me will not be surprised at that, because Senator Dino Melaye has acted as a body to the wife of Bukola Saraki when she was invited by the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).... Chuckles
The most annoying part is that the Senate is always under lock whenever he, Bukola Saraki is scheduled to appear at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
The unwarranted postponement of former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi was tied to this apron string, today is no difference.
This should be stopped, one man should not hold all the country into ransom. The interest of Nigeria should be Supreme, though the world is still anxiously waiting for the reaction of President Muhammadu Buhari as to this, because he was elected on the platter of integrity and probity.
Most of our senators now represent their pockets and immediate family, instead of the people that vote them there. A motion should have being raised by now to stop Bukola Saraki from presiding on the planery because he who must call for probity must come with a clean hands.
Shutting down of the senate for Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) trial is totally unacceptable and ignoble.
This impunity must stop!
