Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, has congratulated the President of the Senate, Dr.
Bukola Saraki, on the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision dismissing the assets declaration charges against him before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), describing it as “victory for the legislature and democracy.” In a statement yesterday, Ekweremadu said the judgement had no doubt strengthened faith in the judiciary as a sanctuary of justice and defender of rule of law.
He added that the judiciary, through the judgement, had distinguished itself as the bastion of democracy and last hope of the oppressed.
“This is victory, not only for the President of the Senate, but also victory for the National Assembly, our democracy, and indeed victory for every Nigerian, who has stood up against all forms of political intimidation, highhandedness, and impunity.
“I salute the President of the Senate for his resilience, courage, and undying commitment to the immutable democratic principles of the rule of law and separation of powers as well as the integrity and independence of the legislature,” he said.
