Baring any last minute
change, President Muhammadu Buhari will appoint Justice Adebukola Banjoko as
the new Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, where Senate President,
Dr. Bukola Saraki and some current state governors are facing trial on multiple
counts related to his alleged non-disclosure of some of his assets.
Justice Banjoko is the
tough female judge that sent former governors Jolly Nyame (Taraba) and Joshua
Dariye (Plateau) to jail recently after finding them guilty of corruption as
prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Sources with knowledge of
the President’s move told THEWILL Wednesday that Buhari is highly impressed
with the judge’s bold rulings that gave the two former governors lengthy jail
terms.
“He has therefore decided
to send her to the Code of Conduct Tribunal where Saraki is facing trial so
that she can close out the case and subsequent prosecutions that will be sent
to the tribunal,” the source said craving anonymity.
