Mixed Reaction Trails Saraki's CCT Victory

How Nigerians reacted to Saraki’s CCT Victory

Abubakar Bukola Saraki-Senate President, Nigeria

Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the Senate President of the most populous black nation on earth, is finally discharged and acquitted of all 18-count charge of alleged false declaration of assetlevied against him by the Federal Government despite the latter insistence that she has serious case against Saraki barely a day before the judgement by the CCT. These are the reactions to the outcome by concerned Nigerians:

“At the end of the day, it is democracy that has been strengthened. I hope all the parties concerned will now sheath their swords and concentrate on the task of nation-building.”

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice-President

"CCT: Saraki has no case to answer.

Prosecuting Counsel, Rotimi Jacob was not in court when the case was decided. (Preplanned)

Now, my take is that this is not an issue of Saraki being very powerful but a case of a corrupt non-working nation, Nigeria.

I said it from inception that Saraki would be acquitted like "others" except if this is not Nigeria.

What led to the case in the first place? Corruption!
Who and who masterminded it? Corrupt Elites.
Who is being charged? A member of the corrupt Elites.

“I predicted the victory because I know that everything about this government is fraud. Look at all the noise they made when they started Senator Saraki’s case, it was as if he will be sent to jail the following week. But when it was time for them to prove their allegations, they could not because it was all political.

Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State

“I hope the Federal Government will not contemplate any form of appeal. If they do, they will be shooting themselves in the foot because the appellate court won’t decide anything contrary to what the trial court just delivered.”

Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje

APC Chieftain

"Behold! Saint Saraki has arrived.

I must confess. This beats me. I actually knew he was going to be cleared though. But not of 'all' charges and allegations, not even one. may be I would have to wait for the clearer details."

“The case was diversionary and unhelpful, now he has been vindicated. I hope the Federal Government has learnt her lessons”

Sen. Bala Ibn Na’Allah

“Everybody goes to court to make a case. If you make your case, you win; if you don’t, you lose. In this case the Federal Government failed to make its case and it has lost.

Sen. Sola Adeyeye

“…the prosecution (Federal Government) did not have anything incriminating against Saraki in the first instance, but had only sought to harass him with politically motivated charges.”

Mr. Frank Tietie

Executive Director of the Citizens Advocacy for Social and Economic Rights,

“The victory of the Senate President is a vindication of his incorruptibility.

Gov. Fatai Ahmed of Kwara State

"It never surprised me a bit. For every political oriented cases will surely lay to rest politically. Despite that I do forget things easily, one thing I really took to heart in GNS is this ever catchy line that read thus; "Predetermine outcome of event is otherwise known as CONSPIRACY". When you have a better grasp of conspiracy theory and the character of Saraki himself; you simply realize the case was dead on arrival"

Lawal Suleiman Olayiwola 

"The CCT's decision is an indication that God has vindicated Saraki"

Comrade Timi Frank

Deputy Publicity Secretary, APC  

“The Tribunal’s victory did not come to me as a surprise. The CCT trial was hatched in the coven of evil politics and was, therefore, bound to fall like a pack of cards.

Sen. Ike Ekweremadu

Deputy Senate President

“Sen. Saraki governed Kwara for 8years. The people of Kwara insisted that he didn’t steal a single kobo of their money but some forces were bent on painting him black, thereby crying more than the bereaved. I am happy that they failed because at the end, even the judiciary has confirmed our stand!”

Sulyman Buhari

Kwara APC Publicity Secretary

"The reactions to this Saraki case aptly demonstrate that many people are not trained to think for themselves."
