Group of APC Senators call for Saraki's resignation as he faces CCT trial

A group of APC Senators under the aegis Unity Forum, have called on Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to resign from office as he faces trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. Unity Forum is made of APC Senators like Sen. Ahmed Lawan, APC's choice for Senate President & Suleiman Hunkunyi.

Saraki is facing a 1-count charge of asset falsification filed against him by the Federal government. The Supreme Court last Friday, struck out an appeal filed by Saraki, challenging the constitution of the tribunal and also asking the apex court to quash all the charges.

In a telephone interview with Premium Times, Senator Kabiru Marafa, the most vocal of the Unity Forum, said that although Saraki had the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, he should resign now “before he is disgraced out”.
 "The Senate should have understanding with Senator Saraki. What’s happening at the Code of Conduct Tribunal has nothing to do with the Unity Forum; it’s between him and the State. And country’s law says he’s presumed innocent until proven to otherwise. By reason of omission or commission, Saraki has pushed himself to a position of disadvantage. By moving from one court to the other up to the Supreme and got himself knocked out, what it portrays is that the Senate under Senator Saraki is fast losing credibility. The most honourable thing for Saraki is to resign and face his prosecution. If he wins, the seat is always there and he can be re-elected again if those that supported him truly believe he is the best person for the position. And if not, he will remain a senator like he was in the 7th Assembly. Is it a must that he become Senate President?”he said Reacting to Marafa's position, Senator Dino Melaye who is one of Saraki's loyalist in the Senate, said Marafa appears to be living on cheap drugs and that he is a clown "Marafa is a clown and perhaps lives on cheap drugs. The case at the CCT is not about Saraki; rather, it’s about the Senate. And we will not fold our arms to mess up with the Senate. The Senate is stable and Saraki has the support of most of the Senators.”he said

  8. I wonder what the bloated Senator from Kogi West will do when saraki is convicted by CCT. One really have to be sorry for been taken for a ride by Dino Melaye as a champion of Anti-
    Corruption. Shame this guy is one of our representatives from Kogi State.

  42. Saraki is in a pathetic situation right now.Even though he attained d seat of d Senate Presidency in a curny and illegitimate manner,I think am liking him these days cuz truly he has been active and performing his jobs.The demands by some senators that he shd resign in order for him to face his persecutions is what has never happened in Nigeria before except in some countries like Asia & America.. If he too resigns anyway,it's no big deal! I just hope he manages to escape convictions or being proved guilty.Could Saraki be a good guy to continue being d Senate President regardless of his ordeal?..Only God decides nobody or any LIBers!

  47. There is no honor among thieves. They will all resign with him rather than do the honorable thing by giving him good advice.

  48. Let the law take its course. For once we are beginning to feel proud of our democracy. Many governors think they can loot their state treasuries then come end if term take refuge in the Senate. The era of immunity is almost over. Thank you voters.

  50. Let the morally bereft bumpkin face his trials and tribulations with fortitude. If during the trial his mendacity is proven let the rule of law be seen to be done. The sooner the polity is ride of these kleptomaniacs the better for all and sundry. The issue is not party allegiance per se but about eradicating the impunity with which members of the polity have plundered the treasury.
