Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has expressed joy at the commencement of his trial before the Code of Conduct Tribunal on asset declaration in 2003.

According to him, the proceedings of today has given him confidence that if the trial is conducted fairly he would be vindicated.

According to a statement signed by Saraki’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Yusuph Olaniyonu, the Senate President noted that even though the prosecution tried to bring in some dramatic narratives, it was clear that they were merely thrashing around and hoping to titillate the public with salacious tales.

Saraki expressed hope, however, that when the time comes, his lawyers will have the opportunity to present his case.
