Delta State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has hailed
the victory of Senate President, Dr
Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, which he described as
"Saraki's long and tortuous trial".
Okowa in a statement in Asaba on Wednesday said the
acquittal was victory for democracy and rule of law.
While noting that it was obvious the case against Senator
Saraki was a distraction to governance, Governor Okowa expressed gladness that
the Senate did not allow the trial to hinder their performances.
He stressed that Senator Saraki's victory depicts that the
judiciary remains the bastion of hope
for everyone seeking redress and added that he is glad Senator Saraki
has been vindicated.
“This judgement is good for our democracy as it will further
enhance Nigerians’ faith in the judiciary,’’ the governor said.
