Saraki reacts to 13-count corruption charges by Conduct Bureau, says ‘we will meet in court’

President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, has issued a statement describing the 13-count charge slammed on him by the Code of Conduct Bureau as false and frivolous.
In a statement via his media office, Mr. Saraki, said the charges were calculated to rubbish him and that he was ready to meet the Code of Conduct Bureau in court to assert his innocence.

“We therefore conclude that this is not an anti corruption driven case and cannot be part of the moves aimed at fighting corruption,” the senate president said. “It is simply a pure malicious and politically motivated prosecution aimed at undermining the person and office of the Senate President.
“… Those behind this plot will definitely meet Dr. Saraki in court as this case, which is based on outright fabrication and mischief, will not and cannot stand the test of justice.”
