Following the lead judgment taken by Justice Walter Samuel Onnoghen,
which held that the CCT was properly constituted to exercise
jurisdiction over Saraki’s trial, Saraki through his Special Adviser on
(Media and Publicity), Yusuph Olaniyonu said “after listening to the
ruling of the Supreme Court in the appeal he (Saraki) filed to challenge

“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.
“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.
“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.”
