The presidency has said on sunday that the trial of senate president Olubukola Saraki by the Code Of Conduct Tribunal for alleged false declaration of assets is purely a judicial process..
In a statement issued by the senior special assistant on media and publicity, Garba Shehu warned against linking or connecting the president to the senate presidents trials. he further said that there was no provision in the law of the code of conduct bureau and the CCT to take insruction from any quarters , describing as uninformed the views that the CCT , which he said is equal to any superior court of record could only act upon external instigation.
''As an independent institution, equal to any superior court of record, the tribunal is set up by the constitution to determine the issues of default, false declaration or forgery of asstes declaration'. This therefore is purely a judicial process and has nothing to do with the presidency,'' he added in the statement.
