Source has revealed that close associates and Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, are mobilizing a sum of $2millon to settle the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Justice Danladi Umar, and have him compromise the case in the alleged false declaration of assets of their principal.
The alleged plot was uncovered late Wednesday evening when a very prominent traditional ruler and retired banker from Kano reached out to Umar, through his emissaries, with the said promise of $2m cash. Panic within the Saraki camp set in when it became obvious that despite the withdrawal of Justice Abdukadir-Kafarati of the Federal High Court, Abuja from the case, the trial was billed to resume shortly with the appointment of another Judge.
The Senate President’s anxiety further heightened by the decisions of the All Progressives Congress which met late Tuesday to pursue party discipline to a logical conclusion. The leadership of the All Proressive Congress was upset by the several ‘acts of sabotage’ allegedly inflicted on the party by certain ‘dissidents’ led by Dr Saraki.
While the alleged attempt to compromise Justice Umar with $2m by Dr Bukola and his associate, the move is observed by many as a race in futility as the forces massed against the Senate President are determined to making sure he falls.
