Oby Ezekwesili, the former Minister of Education, has blasted Nigeria’s Senate president, Bukola Saraki for closing the Senate so that other senators could escort him to his Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) hearing.
Ezekwesili’s comment comes after
Saraki attended his trial at the CCT with several senators today, November 5.
Saraki’s case at the tribunal borders on allegations of foreign accounts ownership when he was the governor of Kwara state and transferred the sum of $73,223.28 from his GTB domiciliary account to an American Express account.
The Bring Back Our Girls Advocate
says it is selfish of him.
In a related
development, Ahmed Mogaji, the Senate
president’s counsel, has resigned from defending Senator Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
Mogaji urged
the tribunal to suspend further hearing on the matter pending the Supreme
Court’s decision on the matter, but his argument was opposed by the
prosecution, Rotimi Jacobs.
