Press Release: Senate is SolidlyBehind Senate President, BukolaSaraki

Press statement signed by Sen. Ibrahim
Abdullahi Danbaba on behalf of the Eighth
Senate.
After majority of us, Senators of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, witnessed
the appearance of our President, Senator
Abubakar Bukola Saraki at the Code of
Conduct Tribunal this morning, we are
happy that he appeared at the Tribunal
after availing himself of the opportunity
to defend his Fundamental Human
Rights. We also want to state here, on
behalf of our colleagues, that the Senate
remains solidly behind Senator Saraki
and we express our unalloyed support for
his leadership.
We reiterate the fact that he is our choice for
the post of Senate President and no politically
motivated, mischievous and vindictive trial will
change our opinion of him.
By his appearance at the Tribunal, he has
demonstrated his firm belief in the rule of law
and his respect for our judicial process. We
join Dr. Saraki in affirming our commitment to
rule of law, constitutionalism and democracy.
We only hope the other arms of government
will ensure that due processes and procedures
are followed in this trial and on all other
issues.
The Eighth Senate restates its commitment to
the programmes and policies of the Buhari
administration. It is our belief that at the end
of this trial, our democracy, Nigerians and the
people will end up as the beneficiaries. May
God bless our country, Nigeria.
Signed Senator Ibrahim Abdullahi Danbaba On
behalf of the Eighth Senate
