I have also been charged before the Code of Conduct tribunal - Tinubu

National leader of APC, Bola Tinubu says the current
trial of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki at the Code
of Conduct is nothing new to him as he was tried at the
same tribunal two weeks after leaving office as governor of
Lagos state. Speaking to newsmen after his Eid prayers at
the Dodan Barracks praying ground yesterday September
24th, Tinubu said


“After they discovered that my asset declaration had
some questions, they charged me to the tribunal. I
went and challenged them to show proofs. I was
later discharged and acquitted because there was no
evidence to prove their claim. It is only then I
accused the government of being selective. We have
to live by example and by our words.
We can’t be talking about it alone. We have to
work it without any iota of blackmail. I have been
through it. The second week I left office, I was
invited by the EFCC. I went there and answer
their questions. Later, I took them to court and I
won. The government officials are almost no longer
believable in this country. When one has a public
responsibility, they look at it as if the source of
wealth to steal and mismanage public funds and do
things that are not included in the democratic norms
and values. We cannot overlook a lot of things. We
cannot personalise a lot of things as if it is vendetta.
We have to endure, be patient, look for justice,
equity and balance society.” he said
