10 reasons why Nigeria's Senate President, Bukola Saraki will not throw in the towel. [MUST READ]

According to Nigerians in Diaspora Group for Rule of Law, the persecution of Bukola Saraki is deliberately done to achieve the vindictive goals of some highly placed individuals.

Here are 10 reasons Saraki will not throw in the towel.

1. The supposed trial of Senator Bukola Saraki was already concluded and a guilty verdict passed in the media and court of public opinion before the Code of Conduct Tribunal sitting properly got underway.

2. The conduct of the Tribunal chairman, Mr Danladi Umar, has clearly betrayed the secret trial that has been held with a verdict already agreed going by the way he regularly suffers outbursts of rage whenever Saraki’s defence counsels table facts before him.

3. Those citing the example of the former Prime Minister of Iceland, Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, who resigned over the Panama Papers affair are being clever by half as they failed to also mentioned the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, who has continued in office despite protests for him to step down after being linked to offshore assets in the Panama Papers leak.

4. All leaders that are committed to improving the life of citizens must not cave in because of pressure from blackmailers who package their selfish interests to look like something driven by popular demand. Saraki is resolved to be strong.

5. It has also emerged that the Senate President’s opposition to a planned Muslim/Muslim ticket was the main thing that made him enemies with those in the corridors of powers who think he had cut short their own ambitions.

6. Because he knows that politics should not be about abusing state institutions to score personal scores and to persecute those who out of consideration for what is best for nation refused to support anti-people concepts, he is now being hunted.

7. A man remains innocent until proven guilty, but in Nigeria this has not been the situation in Senator Saraki’s case as his accusers sustain a campaign to boot him out of office for allegations he has not been convicted for. How can one be innocent when his accuser is both the judge and the witness?

8. It is asserted that Saraki would not have been dragged before the CCT if he had not dared to challenge the establishment’s attempt to impose another candidate as President of the Senate.

9. The federal government who is persecuting him has its attack dog, which is the EFCC as their ring leader while Danladi Umar, another jury who was caught red handed in a bribery allegation is the same judge to deliver a judgment to save his face. This is unfair.

10. Because Bukola Saraki is resolved to prove his innocence before the people.
