I’ve been vindicated after 1,018 days – Saraki

Senate President Bukola Saraki has expressed delight with the ruling of the supreme court which struck out his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

In a statement personally signed by him, Saraki expressed gratitude to all Nigerians who have supported him since the case commenced three years ago.

He thanked the judiciary for “doing what is right”.

“At the end of a tortuous journey of 1018 days counting from September 22, 2015 when the case began at the tribunal, I am happy that I have been vindicated,” he said.

“The supreme court has affirmed that there is no evidence of false declaration of assets. The court also observed that certain agents took over the responsibility of the Code of Conduct Bureau in this trial, and one can infer that this was done towards a pre-determined end.

“This outcome has gladdened my heart and further strengthened my belief in this country and as well as my faith in Almighty Allah, who is the righter of all wrongs. God has vindicated me today before the judgement of man, and I am most thankful and humbled at His grace and infinite mercies.”
