The Congress
of Nigerian Youths Leaders, CONYL, has condemned the trial of President of the
Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki by Code of Conduct Bureau, describing it as
persecution rather than prosecution.
The
convener of the group, Comrade Yinka Dallas said during a news conference at
the secretariat of
Nigeria Union of Journalists, Lagos State Council on Sunday
that the anti-corruption war of the Federal Government was aimed at some
personalities.
According
to him,, the present government is aimed at personalities who are presumed not
in the good books of the government, adding, “This is a sad commentary on
Buhari’s anti-corruption crusade.”
He
stated that the evidences in the public domain on the ongoing trial of the
senate president showed beyond doubt that the CCT is being used by some vested
interest in the ruling party, APC and presidency to settle cheap political
scores.
The
group condemned the trial, adding that the process is drawing the government
backward, instead of the Executive and Legislative arms of government working
in conformity toward ameliorating the sufferings of Nigerians, they are busy
engaged in a cat and mouse game.
