The President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has expressed disappointment in the judgement of Supreme Court on the six grounds of his appeal in his trial by the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Saraki, however, vowed to prove his innocence at the CCT on the matter since apex court was only invited to rule on some preliminary issues in the process of commencing the trial.
A statement by Saraki’s media aide, Yusuf Olaniyonu, said: “He expresses disappointment over the Judgment of the apex court in the country on the six grounds of his appeal.
“He however will like to put it on record that the facts of the substantial matter are not before the Supreme Court since the apex court was only invited to rule on some preliminary issues in the process of commencing the trial.
“The Senate President believes he will have his day in the court to prove his innocence of the charges preferred against him during the trial proper.
“Dr. Saraki will like to thank everyone who has expressed support for him from the beginning of the case.
“He assures everyone that at the end of the day truth will prevail and justice will be served.”
