SARAKI TRIAL CAN RUBBISH BUHARI ANTI CORRUPTION CRUSADE
The National President of Yoruba Youth Alliance, Mr. Jackson Ojo, has said the trial of the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, by the Code of Conduct Bureau, can rubbish the anti-corruption crusade of President Muhammadu Buhari.He said this in an interview with our correspondent in Osogbo on Sunday Ojo said the matter in which the alleged crime of Saraki was ‘excavated’ by his political enemies suggested that the trial was more of a witch-hunt than anti-corruption crusade.
The YYA leader said it was obvious that some leaders of the All Progressives Congress, who wanted to pull down Saraki by all means for emerging the President of the Senate, were behind his ordeal. He said the alleged persecution could disintegrate the party, as it portrays Buhari as being vindictive, if care was not taken. He said, “The whole world is watching and monitoring everything now. We are suspecting a sponsored allegation against Saraki just because of his clever emergence as the Senate President as against the decision and calculation of some oligarchic and autocratic leaders in the APC. “One thing I want people to be cautious of is the outcome of the Saraki travails. If it is not openly and transparently handled, it will boomerang on the party, the APC, and will eventually put the corruption crusade of Buhari into a serious ridicule.

WE WILL NEVER ABANDON SARAKI. PDP
The PDP denied reports that it was already looking for a senator from the opposition party to replace Saraki, who is currently under pressure to resign from office following his trial for false asset declaration by the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Nigeria’s two main labour unions–Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress – on Saturday demanded Saraki’s resignation on moral grounds consequent upon his trial at the CCT.
The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, who spoke to our correspondent on Sunday, said the party still believed that the trial of Saraki was political and that the PDP would not think of abandoning the Senate president until it sees the merit of the case.
Metuh said, “We have no candidate for the office of the Senate President, because we have a fit person occupying the position for now.
“We are behind him and we can’t abandon him just because he is undergoing trial. Anybody can be put on trial, but the question we should ask is whether the trial is political or not.
“Does the trial have merit? When we see the merit of the case, we will take position. But for now, there is nothing like that.”
Saraki, a former governor of Kwara State, is currently facing a 13-count charge of making false declaration as a governor between 20013 and 2011.
Since his arraignment before the tribunal, there had been speculations that the PDP, which produced Saraki’s deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, had been scheming to replace him with one of its senators.
Among those being touted as possible replacements for Saraki are Ekweremadu; a former Senate President, David Mark; and a former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio.
Saraki had defied the directive of his party, the All Progressives Congress, and had clinched the Senate presidency with the backing of senators of the PDP, his former party.
The APC has 59 senators while the PDP has 49 but the Senate inauguration and election took place on June 9 while about 50 APC senators were waiting for a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari outside the National Assembly.
But while the APC senators have been divided from inception of the eighth Senate, all the 49 PDP senators have been united.
The PDP senators have been the main backers of Saraki since his assumption of office as the Senate president.
Metuh said it was too early for the party to be talking with its members in the Senate or thinking of abandoning the Senate president.
He said the PDP was still of the opinion that Saraki was being prosecuted because of his political belief.
The opposition spokesman said, “We are not even thinking of replacement for Saraki for now. The National Assembly is a separate arm of the government just like the judiciary and the executive.
“Is anyone thinking that there would be leadership change in the executive and the judiciary?
“Are they not independent of the other? What we are interested in is that all the three arms of government must be allowed to function independently of the other. We are saying there shouldn’t be any interference.”
When he was reminded that the leadership of both the executive and the judiciary are not on trial for any crime, Metuh said that “trial doesn’t amount to conviction.”

Pope speaks On Children Sexual Abuse
Pope Francis today in Philadelphia USA, met with victims of sexual abuse either by clergy men, church workers, teachers or family members. While empathizing with them after hearing their stories, Pope Francis said God weeps for the sexual abuse of children;
"I have in my heart these stories of suffering of those youth that were sexually abused. The people who had the responsibility to take care of these tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain. God weeps for the sexual abuse of children." he said

Buhari Is Not A Nigerian. Professor Soremekun
As I contemplate the Nigerian condition or non-condition, I continue to marvel at contemporary happenings. The nirvana is certainly not here yet. Still, it is possible to discern new ozone in public life. Suddenly, public officials are more responsive. The refineries appear to be working. Petrol queues, for now at least, are gone. Electricity supply seems to have improved. And therefore one is tempted to ask: What has happened?

Pdp Set To Replace Saraki If He Is Convicted

They are said to be working on a plan which will lead to the election of a new Senate President from the PDP, should Saraki be convicted by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) - the "worst case scenario."
Security agencies already know about the plot, it was learnt.
Besides, there are signs pro-Saraki senators may have “laid an ambush” for President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial list, which is being expected at the Senate “any moment from now”.
They may reject the list and all appointments so far by the President in protest against Saraki’s trial.
