The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, yesterday expressed dismay at the Code of Conduct Tribunal’s order for his arrest.
He also alleged persecution by those he said were using.....
state institutions to fight their political opponents and seeking to achieve through the back door what they cannot get through democratic process.
In a statement released in Abuja, Saraki said his dismay stemmed from the fact that the tribunal disregarded an earlier order by the Federal High Court in Abuja suspending hearing in the case till Monday.
He said it was also a surprise that in spite of Saraki’s personality and an application by his lead counsel that he would produce him on Monday, the Tribunal insisted on issuing a warrant of arrest as if it was out to embarrass the Senate President.
The statement, which was signed by Senator Saraki’s Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Yusuph Olaniyonu.
