Saraki Won’t Be The First, Those Calling For His Resignation Should Let Him BE- CAN Sec.

The Christian Association of Nigeria has faulted those
calling for the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, to resign his leadership
of the Senate for his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal for alleged false
declaration of assets. While speaking to a Punch correspondent, the National
Secretary of CAN, Rev. Musa Asake said the Senate president won’t be the first
and until proven guilty, Saraki is assumed to be innocent. Hear the Reverend;

 “Is he (Saraki) the first person to be in that category?
Have they asked anyone of them (others) to step aside?

“I don’t want to delve into politics but it is getting out
of hand. We have had such cases over and over. Asking him to step aside for now
is as if he has been found guilty. Our law says that he is innocent until
proven guilty.

“I am a religious leader; I don’t want to mingle in
politics. But let us not also overdo the whole thing. He has been in the Senate
and whatever he has done, the Senate did it (together) with him.

“If he is corrupt, we have known him to be corrupt before we
elected him into the Senate. Why now? To me, let them continue to do their
work. When he is found guilty, let the law take its course.”
