In a press release signed by the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, President Buhari also congratulated all Nigerian Muslims who are currently on Hajj in Saudi Arabia.
The statement said that, ”as they join the global Islamic community in celebrating Eid-El-Kabir, President Buhari appeals to Muslims and other Nigerians to be committed to the message of piety, faithfulness, dedication, fortitude, obedience, sacrifice and selfless service which are for the benefit of all mankind.”
According to the statement, the President calls for more patience, fortitude, tolerance, endurance, patriotism and a greater willingness to make personal sacrifices for the good of all as his administration strives to lead the nation towards rapidly overcoming its current security, economic
and developmental challenges.

My trial is the handiwork of those angry that I’m Senate President – Saraki

Embattled Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, yesterday evening insisted that his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over alleged corruption charges was orchestrated by those not happy with his emergence as Senate President.

DAILY POST recalls that at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, in Abuja on Tuesday, he pleaded not guilty to a 13-count charge of corruption and false declaration of asset after failing to secure injunctions at a High Court and the Court of Appeal to stop the trial. The CCT however granted him bail on self-recognition after taking his plea.
But in a statement released by his media aide, Yusuph Olaniyonu, yesterday evening, Saraki claimed that he was singled out for prosecution because of his position as the Senate President – an apparent reference to the controversy over his election as leader of the Senate.
It would be recalled that he had defied the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC leadership which had anointed Senator Ahmed Lawan for the position. He got the support of senators of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, to win the seat with Ike Ekweremadu of the PDP emerging his deputy.
In the statement, Saraki stressed that he previously refused to appear before the tribunal because he was exploring the “opportunity to defend (his) fundamental human rights in other courts.”
“As I stated while taking the plea in the case, I reiterate my belief that the only reason while I am going through this trial is because I am Senate President. If I were to be just a Senator, I doubt if anybody will be interested in the asset declaration form I filled over twelve years ago,” he said.
The statement repeated a claim he made at the tribunal earlier on Tuesday that the trial did not follow due process.
“This belief stems from the fact that Section 3 (d) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act provides that if there is a breach or non-compliance with any section of the law, the person involved should be given the opportunity to either admit or deny and that in the case of a written admission, no reference to the tribunal shall be necessary,” he said.
Saraki continued that, “if the CCB had followed the guidelines, procedure or the due process provided in its own law, we won’t be having this trial.
“It is my humble opinion that this case is a vivid example that there is still flagrant disregard for due process in our polity. This trial is not only being observed by Nigerians alone, the international community is watching because Nigeria is a key member of this community. So, the executive, legislature and judiciary should do the right thing that will truly demonstrate that we have imbibed the spirit of positive change,” he said.
In the statement, he thanked his colleagues and supporters who trooped out to the court in number in solidarity with him and promised to clear his name.
“It is however necessary for me to thank my colleagues in the Senate for the solid support and solidarity they demonstrated for me. I also thank my counsel for the brilliance they have shown in presenting our case and the supporters who were present in the tribunal in their hundreds. I want to assure you that I am innocent of all the charges and will clear my name in due course,” the Senate President said.

Court dissolves two-year marriage over wife’s arrogance, constant fighting

A two-year-old marriage between a 32-year-old driver, Mr. Adekoya Opeolu and his wife, Bukola, was Wednesday, dissolved by an Ikorodu Customary Court in Lagos over the wife’s alleged arrogance and constant fighting.

The complainant, who resides at Ewu Elepe Road in Ikorodu, had reportedly approached the court to dissolve his marriage, saying that he could no longer cope with his wife’s hostility, whereas, Bukola in her defense statement, did not object to the divorce plea of her husband.

Bukola said, “I am also fed up, we fight every day since the beginning of the marriage, I am no more interested in the marriage.”

The respondent, however, prayed the court to order her husband to take full responsibility of the five month old child of their union.

According to reports, the Court president, Mr Olu Adebiyi, in his ruling, said they should go their separate ways, as all effort to reconcile their differences fell on hard rocks, stressing that the court was not in doubt that the marriage between the duo had broken down irretrievably.
“The court hereby, officially, dissolves the marriage,” Adebiyi ruled.

‘’The custody of the five-month-old baby boy from the marriage is hereby awarded to Bukola. The petitioner is to pay N5, 000 monthly to the respondent for the feeding of the only child of the union,” he added.

The president, reports reveal, also ruled that Opeolu takes charge of the medical and educational needs of the child, adding that any party, who is not pleased with any section of the judgment, should appeal within 30 days from the said date, 23, September, at a higher court.
