Embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki took to his facebook page to talk a little bit about his trial through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu.
He received severe backlash from his followers on facebook.
The Senate President is currently on trail as regards undeclared assets and it hasn’t helped either that he was inplicated in the Panama Papers scandal.
He wrote:
Saraki : I’m Happy that the Trial Has Commenced
Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has said he is glad that his trial before the Code of Conduct Tribunal on asset declaration in 2003 has finally commenced.
Saraki said the proceedings of today has given him confidence that if the trial is conducted fairly he would be vindicated.
The Senate President noted that even though the prosecution tried to bring in some dramatic narratives, it was clear that they were merely thrashing around and hoping to titillate the public with salacious tales. He added that he was hopeful however that when the time comes, his lawyers will have the opportunity to present his case.
End.
Signed
Yusuph Olaniyonu
Special Adviser to Senate President on Media and Publicity
