My Trial Is Just A Distraction – Bukola Saraki

How can a man who tried everything possible to make sure his trial does not commence for several months, now turn around to tell us that his trial is a distraction? That's Nigerian politicians for you.

Embattled senate president Bukola Saraki has expressed frustration over his ongoing trial. In an interview with TheCable, Saraki said his Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) trial is a huge distraction.

His words: “It (CCT trial)‎ is a distraction. I want to clear my name as soon as possible so that we can move forward. As an institution we must look at how to strengthen the judiciary. The fight against corruption must be transparent."
