The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lauded the Supreme Court judgement that cleared Senate President of any sharp practices over asset declaration.
The apex court had dismissed the asset declaration case against Senate President Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
The PDP described the judgement as a triumph of justice.
The party said in a statement that “the Supreme Court, by the judgment, has further reinforced the confidence of Nigerian citizens in the courage of the institution of the judiciary, as the temple of justice and the last hope of the common man, particularly under an oppressive regime.”
It added: “The PDP says that the judgment has further supported its disposition that the Buhari Presidency’s fight against corruption is mere shadow-chasing and a clever attempt at blackmailing the opposition as well as anyone who holds a divergent voice against this administration.
“The party said the judgment should serve as a spur for all judicial officers at all levels to be bold in upholding the dispensation of justice in all cases without fear, let or politically induced hindrances. “
