polling Unit 6, Ward 5 of Akukutoru Local Government Area, and Peter

 witnesses told the tribunal that they did both manual and card reader 
accreditation.NAN also reports that Wike has so far presented 11 witnesses from

SECURITY was unusually tight at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, this 
morning, as the Senate President and former governor of Kwara state, 
Bukola Saraki, is expected to appear before the Danladi Umar-led 
Tribunal.“The Senate President is a law abiding citizen and his absence from 
tribunal was based on legal advice he received from his counsel that it 
is not necessary for him to appear before the tribunal at this stage 
since the jurisdiction of the tribunal and the process of initiating the
 matter are being challenged before the federal High Court Abuja,” a 
statement issued by him read.“Following the adjournment for the determination of the motion on 
notice and the substantive suit before the Federal High Court to 30th of
 September and the appeal pending before the Court of Appeal adjourned 
to the 29th of September 2015, the Senate President has decided, as a 
law abiding citizen, to appear before the Tribunal in the interim.”<br />

“Saraki has taken the decision to attend the Tribunal sitting to 
demonstrate his respect for the rule of law in spite of his personal 
reservation on the process of his trial and the purpose it may be 
intended to serve.“Saraki wishes to assure Nigerians of his absolute belief in the 
judicial process and is therefore confident that the course of justice 
would be served at the end of this matter,” the statement said.<br />
