Bukola Saraki, former senate president, says President Bola Tinubu had no hand in his prosecution during the administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking on Channels TV Politics’ Today on Friday evening,
Saraki dismissed the claim that Tinubu wielded some level of influence during
Buhari’s administration.
In September 2015, the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) filed
charges of false asset declaration against Saraki at the code of conduct
tribunal (CCT).
The former senate president said it would be unfair to
accuse Tinubu of being part of his ordeals at the time, noting that he was
being prosecuted for taking actions that were in the “best interest of
Nigeria”.
“That is also not fair on President Ahmed Bola Tinubu
because you and I know that in those days of the former President Muhammadu
Buhari administration, he did not have that say that they claimed he had,”
Saraki said.
“My own concern is that I was doing what I feel is in the
interest of the country as the president of the senate, and for doing those
things, I was now prosecuted.
“Bola Tinubu was not part of the people who took the
decision and implemented going to the code of conduct or the Offa robbery or
the forgery of the national assembly. That was the executive part of
government.”
