I will be at the Tribunal tomorrow' - Saraki says

Senate President Bukola Saraki says he will be at the Code of
 Conduct Tribunal tomorrow September 22nd as a mark of respect
for the rule of law. He said this in a statement he released this afternoon

 on his Facebook page

The Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki will appear before the

 Code of Conduct Tribunal tomorrow Tuesday 22nd of September 2015. 

While the Senate President Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, had stated and 

maintained that he is ready to submit himself to due process of the law on

 any issue concerning him, he also believes that he has an inalienable right

 to resort to the same judiciary for protection when he feels his fundamental

 rights are about to be infringed upon.

The Senate President is a law abiding citizen and his absence from tribunal

 was based on legal advice he received from his counsel that it is not necessary

 for him to appear before the tribunal at this stage since the jurisdiction of the 

tribunal and the process of initiating the matter are being challenged before the

 federal High Court Abuja.

Following the adjournment for the determination of the motion on notice and

 the substantive suit before the Federal High Court to 30th of September and

 the appeal pending before the Court of Appeal adjourned to the 29th of September 

2015, the Senate President has decided, as a law abiding citizen, to appear before the 

Tribunal in the interim.

Dr. Saraki has taken the decision to attend the Tribunal sitting to demonstrate 

his respect for the rule of law in spite of his personal reservation on the process 

of his trial and the purpose it may be intended to serve.

Dr. Saraki wishes to assure Nigerians of his absolute belief in the judicial process 

and is therefore confident that the course of justice would be served at the end of this matter.
