Senate President Bukola Saraki Played Errand Boy To Buhari To Stall Corruption Trial
Senate President Bukola Saraki this morning in Abuja,
and on the eve of his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), filed
an appeal at the Supreme Court asking for a stay of proceedings.
Last week, the Court of Appeal had decided that Saraki should face trial, and that the CCT is a competent court for it. Saraki’s action today followed his strange move on Tuesday to appease President Muhammadu Buhari when he personally turned messenger to deliver the list of cleared Ministers to the presidency.
Saraki’s move earlier today seemed to follow the conclusion from the meeting between both men that Buhari is not ready to commit to any extra-legal settlement of the issue.
