COALITION of Yoruba Youth organizations under the auspices of Yoruba Council of Youth (YCY) has described the current prosecution of the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) as displaying the hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob, wondering why the tribunal would wait till now before the sudden trial.
The coalition said the trial was another plot by the presidency to further delay the proposed ministerial nominees screening, hence allow the president to continue to run the country alone.
Addressing press Monday in Abuja, the President of the coalition, Aremo Oladotun Hassan, condemned the action of the tribunal, saying the behaviour of the tribunal was an acts of desperation for power at all costs by some few oligarchists at the expense of Nigerians, accusing the president Muhammadu Buhari of being behind the trial.
He said: “We challenge the ways and manner of the sudden crude methodology and hasty wake of the CCB and CCT to have bracingly ordered the Inspector General of Police to arrest Senator Bukola Saraki, without due diligence fair-hearing exercise of its inherent powers, over allegation of 2003 declared assets, conclusively raised the suspicion, doubt and act of omission, which informed the questionable intentions, impregnated with deceits and indirect high-handedness veil of the CCT.
“This portends great danger, that for CCB to have waited this long at the peak week of September Senate Screening of President Muhammodu Buhari’s proposed ministerial nominees, another attempt to postpone and elongate the appointment of Ministers.
“We vehemently resist all attempt to drag the hallowed seat of the Senate President and Dr. Bukola Saraki into the mud and mucky waters of nepotism, witch-hunting and blackmail, predicated on politically motivated power tussle and shenanigans of the internal APC party permutations of sharing formula of offices amongst its divided tents that formed All Progressives Congress (APC), which is the nucleus genesis that caused the current show of naked fire-powers and deadly force of shame. Displaying the Hand of Esau and Voice of Jacob syndrome.”
The coalitions also condemn the call for the resignation of Saraki, adding that an accused is presumed innocent, until the contrary is proven in a competent court of law.
He therefore called on western leaders to lean their voice against the trial saying “if this precedence is allowed to sail through, it will emboldened the orchestras to cause more havoc, and no one will be insulated from this recycled style of leadership, leaving all of us in the helpless torture chamber and humiliation, in the prey hands of this political mafias and cabals.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

DeletePls lets hear word. Did he lie? If he did or not is left to be determined by a competent court or tribunal. If the Senate President can be tried, others will seat up or run away. We voted for change(including YCY) so this is how it tastes
ReplyDeleteWho are thoseYoruba youth that want to continue living under poverty line? The true Yoruba youth will
ReplyDeletethank whoever gives Saraki the opportunity to tell the whole world how honest he is. Hearing the family name, the next thing is attributing all kinds of rubbish to the great family as I believe.
Therefore, it is an opportunity for Saraki to prove other people wrong and accusing anyone.
This Yoruba council of youths is fake o. Go anywhere and check the Yoruba will NEVER support a thief. They will be the first to report that their son is a thief.
ReplyDeleteBesides since when did Saraki start calling himself a Yoruba man that Yoruba will now be defending him. Shebi he denied us and said he is not bukola but Abubakar... Make e go meet him Abu people Nao. Nonsense.. BUKOLA prison dey wait you... Kirikiri

ReplyDeleteYou are blind to see the handwriting on the wall, we should not be blinded with the figyt against corruption. Is true that the fabric of Nigeria has been destroyed but bear in mind that this Country have been ruled by the North over 80% of time. The truth still remains that some people in this Country want to ensure that they occupy the helm of this Country.
ReplyDeleteThis is a FAKE group getting BRIBES from lousy politicians. The only represent their STOMACHS. Lousy bustards.
ReplyDeleteIt seems our Nigerian leaders are afraid of an open court they love reading it on Newspaper. I am sure they will soon get used to the new system where noboby is above the Law. As for the so called rented youths you are justified now, at least you have voiced out as contracted to do OK? Just wait for the next politician that would patronize you for a Saraki job well done.
ReplyDeleteI am happy abt the comments, it shows we have started asking questions in this country. It's a shame that our journalist are still being used to promote lies and fake stories. How many constituted this 'youths'? Did u as a journalist confirm this story before posting? Why can't journalist respect the ethics of the job, why? Please let's stop letting PDP ruin the name of journalism. It's obvious they r still crying over spilled milk
ReplyDeleteWell said
DeleteI don't think any through Yoruba would protest for Saraki who denied being a Yoruba just like most of them from Kwara. He's obviously paid people for this. Also, this article is a good example of lazy journalism as I'm sure the existence of the group was not verified before putting the story out to the public or the journalist has collected some money for it
