I am happy that my trial at CCT has commenced- Saraki

Senate President, Bukola Saraki has said he is glad
that his trial before the Code of Conduct Tribunal on
asset declaration in 2003 has finally commenced. His
trial for alleged false declaration of assets while
serving as the governor of Kwara state commenced
at the CCT today April 5th.
Saraki in a statement signed by his media aide
Yusuph Olaniyonu, said the proceedings of today has
given him confidence that if the trial is conducted
fairly he would be vindicated. He said that even
though the prosecution tried to bring in some
dramatic narratives, it was clear that they were
merely thrashing around and hoping to titillate the
public with salacious tales. He added that he was
hopeful however that when the time comes, his
lawyers will have the opportunity to present his case.
