Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) hailed, as a triumph of justice, the Supreme Court judgement, dismissing the asset declaration case against Senate President Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
The party, in statement signed by the spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, yesterday, stated that “the Supreme Court, by the judgement, has further reinforced the confidence of Nigerian citizens in the courage of the institution of the judiciary, as the temple of justice and the last hope of the common man, particularly under an oppressive regime.” The statement read in part: “The judgement has further supported its disposition that the Buhari Presidency’s fight against corruption is mere shadow-chasing and a clever attempt at blackmailing the opposition as well as anyone who holds a divergent voice against this administration.
“The party said the judgement should serve as a spur for all judicial officers at all levels to be bold in upholding the dispensation of justice in all cases without fear, let or politically induced hindrances.
