Senate President Bukola Saraki has dismissed calls for his resignation over the recent revelations that he is involved in the growing international Panama Papers scandal and the testimony of a witness before the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Saraki stated that those asking for his resignation were his political detractors who never wanted him to become the Senate president.
Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media, Yusuph Olaniyonu, the senate president stated that: “There’s a case in the Tribunal and a resultant appeal at the Court of Appeal.
“The underlining philosophy of our legal system is that an accused person is presumed innocent until found guilty.
“Those who are contemplating calls for resignation want to circumvent the judicial system. They are obviously being sponsored by some politicians.
“The Senate President is not contemplating any resignation. He will surely have his day in court,” He said.
