TVC E. Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has called for the resignation of Senate President Bukola Saraki, maintaining that the resignation is pertinent as to save the face of Nigeria’s legislature and to preserve the integrity of the National Assembly as well.
Femi Falana also stated that, the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court would add value to the battle against corruption.
Citing an instance involving a former Senate President, the late Chuba Okadigbo, Falana asked Saraki to resign having undertaken to prove his innocence before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
“Having undertaken to prove his innocence at the Code of Conduct Trubunal Senator Saraki should resign as senate president so as to preserve the integrity of the National Assembly.
“When Senators Chuba Okadigbo and Adolphus Wabara were indicted they were made to step down as senate presidents,” Falana stressed.
The Supreme Court had on Friday dismissed the appeal by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, challenging the validity of his trial on charges of assets declaration preferred against him at the CCT.
