Speaking with State House correspondents shortly after he and some members of the House of Representatives met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, on Thursday said the ongoing trial of the President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, for false asset declaration at the Code of Conduct Tribunal had nothing to do with the politics of the ruling All Progressives Congress. He said since the issue had to do with the law, Saraki would be given his day in court. He said:
“Everything that has a beginning, has an end. I don’t think and I don’t know if there is any leadership crisis in the National Assembly. I am not sure at what you are alluding to; I am not in the Senate. But the little I understand is that there is an issue involving the Senate President.”
“That has nothing to do with the APC. That has to do with the issue of law and I am sure the Senate President is being represented and he will have his day in court. If the matter comes up, I don’t think it is an APC issue; it is not an APC issue at all.”
