The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as triumph of justice, the acquittal of Senate President Bukaola Saraki by the Supreme Court, in the assets declaration charges instituted against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
The party said the Supreme Court, by the judgment, “reinforced the confidence of Nigerian citizens in the courage of the institution of the judiciary, as the temple of justice and the last hope of the common man, particularly under an oppressive regime.”
In a statement by its spokesperson Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP said the “judgment has further supported its disposition that the Buhari Presidency’s fight against corruption is mere shadow-chasing and a clever attempt at blackmailing the opposition as well as anyone who holds a divergent voice against this administration.
“The party said the judgment should serve as a spur for all judicial officers at all levels to be bold in upholding the dispensation of justice in all cases without fear, let or politically induced hindrances.”
