The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State on Tuesday reacted to the ruling of Court of Appeal in Abuja which dismissed 15 out of the 18 counts of false assets declaration instituted against the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, before the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

In a press statement issued by its publicity secretary, Alhaji Sulyman Buhari, the party said the Senate President will be vindicated at the end of the legal journey.

We welcome that judgment of the Appeal Court which dismissed 15 out of the 18 counts of false assets declaration instituted against the Senate President.

Though, we do not agree with the section of the judgment which ordered the retrial of the Senate President on three of the counts at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

However, the party is convinced the 3 charges, which the appellate court sustained, will not survive legal scrutiny at the Supreme Court. Soon, the charges will fall like a pack of cards at the Supreme Court.

It bears repeating that our belief remains unshaken. We strongly believe the Senate President will emerge victorious at the end of the legal journey.

Finally, we urge all members of our party and supporters of the Senate President to go about their daily activities and routines without worries and anxieties as there is no cause for alarm.
