Bukola Saraki's CCT victory: Nigerians react!

This morning, Senate president Bukola Saraki was discharged by the Justice Umar Danladi-led tribunal on the ground that the prosecution failed to prove its case against the accused after The Federal Government had filed an 18-count charge bordering on false assets declaration against him.


Nigerians have now taken to twitter to express their opinions on the Code of Conduct Tribunal’s (CCT) ruling, with many believing that the fight against corruption in Nigeria is a futile effort.

Below are some reactions from Nigerians:

A part of me hoped to see the drama of Saraki convicted. The rational part reminded me Nigeria Plc wasn't designed to jail its shareholders.

Since the rule of law in  only favours the Rich & the likes of Saraki; I won't be surprised if they say Evans didn't commit any offense.

Saraki's trial was obviously political. The prosecution of the charges were shoddy at best. And the political climate has changed.

Now that Saraki has been discharged (as expected) can we bury this charade of an anti-corruption war & focus on the economy?
