Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki has said that he would not resign from his position, despite his ongoing false asset declaration trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

According to Saraki, the trial is an act of persecution and not an actual fight against corruption.

Saraki said this on Friday at Landmark Events Centre in Lagos during a social media week event organised by State- Craft Inc. the theme was; ‘Did You Say Change? Game Changers of the 2015 Nigerian elections.’

He stated that his trial was the handiwork of powerful people who were unhappy with his emergence as Senate President.

The Senate President said that when he got into office as a civil servant 13 years ago; he filled the asset declaration form which is a must for all public servants to fill once they enter office.

In his words, “We are public servants and you must fill your asset declaration form when you get in office and I did mine 13 years ago.

“The charges have nothing to do with corruption or money being stolen anywhere. I will have my day in court to prove my innocence of the charge pending against me because it is not about corruption.

“I don’t understand how the same organisation that cleared my asset declaration to be proper in 2004, 2009 and 2011 can now say that my record is faulted,” he said.

Among personalities present at the event were, Senator Dino Melaye; Senator Sabi Abdulahi and Senator Foster Ogola.
