After listening to the ruling of the Supreme
Court in the appeal he filed to challenge the
process of arraigning him before the Code of
Conduct Tribunal, Senate President, Dr.
Abubakar Bukola Saraki hereby states as
follows:

1. He expresses disappointment over the
Judgment of the apex court in the country on
the six grounds of his appeal
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

Signed
Yusuph Olaniyonu
Special Adviser (Media and Publicity) to the
Senate President
