In any decent society, he ought not to return to the office of the Senate President. He is facing a criminal charge. Conviction has very little significance; the fact is that he has to be in the dock to face criminal prosecution. It is humiliating that the leader of the Senate had to be docked for a criminal trial. It is a national embarrassment that he is attempting to politicise a purely criminal offence.
They should stop the charade. They should rather take decisive steps to save the country of the embarrassment; witch-hunt is not an appropriate response to the matter.
People like us feel embarrassed and disappointed that military surrogates, sympathisers and loyalists who aided and abetted the military to dominate the national political landscape for a long time are the same set of people doing everything possible to frustrate and jeopardise democracy.
While we were in the trenches using our blood, our freedom and even our lives, they were hands in glove with the military jackboot. The current political operators are messing the situation up day-by-day, pretending to be democrats, which they are not.
They are only interested in the amount of money they can steal from the government coffers. Saraki is an unsuitable person for the seat of the Senate President.
