SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENT

Supreme Court Judgement: Kwara APC commends Buhari for allowing rule of law to thrive in Nigeria

The judgement of the Supreme Court delivered in favour of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki on Friday, on the alleged false asset declaration trial is a testament of the President Muhammadu Buhari's administration openeness and commitment to the independence of every arm of government, while vigorously fighting corruption.

The trial of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki on alleged false declaration of assets, ab initio indicated that, no one, no mater, how highly placed in the society should be considered or placed above the law of the land.

The successful prosecution and conclusion of the Senate President's trial though it takes some time - it finally ends on Friday. This is to assure every citizen of this country, that the Federal Government under President Buhari will always allow every citizen to explore every window open for defense through in law in the all important fight against corruption in the country.

The Federal Government of Nigeria is already leading the fight against corruption in every area of our national life - it therefore behoves every arm of government to join in the fight by giving the fight the desired support and ensure accountability and probity in their corridors too.

We commend all well meaning Nigerians that have played patriotic and altruistic roles since the fight against corruption and sundry practices started. We are optimistic that they will also be a worthy partner in other national assignments that require our collective efforts.

As you may recall, late Alhaji Abubakar Rimi once said that there are three types of judgement, namely; judgement by the court, judgement by the people and judgement by posterity. We must strive no matter, how hard we find it to be on the side of posterity. Posterity will judge all of us well and accordingly.
