Senate President Bukola Saraki has described recent moves by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to probe him as politically motivated and a witch-hunt.The Senate President was reacting to fresh moves by EFCC to probe his earnings as Kwara State Governor, a position he held from 2003 to 2011.
On Monday, the EFCC in a statement, said the current probe of Mr Saraki was not in connection to his recent appointment as International Human Rights Commission ambassador, as reported by some media houses.In a statement signed by Yusuph Olaniyonu, his media aide, Mr Saraki said the latest move by EFCC is “less than noble and a mere witch-hunt exercise, aimed at settling scores, laced with malicious and partisan motives.
“Also, members of the public should be reminded that during the proceedings of his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal between 2015 and 2018, it became clear that the evidence relied upon was from investigations conducted by the EFCC on his tenure as governor and that is why the lead witness for the prosecution was an EFCC agent, Michael Wetkas.
Mr Saraki said that the documents requested are handled by the bureaucracy of the National Assembly and has nothing to do with him. Mr Saraki said his tenures as Kwara governor and in the Senate, were run with transparency and accountability.The Senate President also made particular reference to a report by EFCC which gave Kwara State under his tenure ‘a clean bill of health’, alongside five other states.
😂😂
Yes it could be if as you won't be if you were still in APC but still make no noise if you have no cockroach in your cupboard bukolasaraki officialEFCC
Witch hunt, wizard hunt, life hunt wherever you need to be brought to book for your reckless political destruction over the years in Kwara State Sir. We are living witness timeupsaraki
Evil john amazed me he loves corruption that is why he hate anything pmb this guy is not clean .how do we grow as a nation ? Kai fear God woo
What is hidden that requires a witch to hunt it?
Senseless Magu.
It is wizardry and wickedness. Why won't they investigate Oshiomole, Tinubu, Amechi, Orji Uzo Kalu and many of the political criminals in APC?
Is good to hunt the winches
Pure witch hunt and selective corruption fight.
Instead of improving the lives of the common man, they’re all playing politics.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 1st witch hunt of NextLevel
Were you a wizard then?
You will be vindicated
As long as you don't have skeleton in your cupboard, then there's nothing to worry about.
Clear conscience fears accusation / investigstion or probe
why worry if your hands are clean.
Rotfl. You can’t just go like that. You destroyed too many lives. Only God can do that and get away with it. Sorry sir, just answer small query. Das ol.
As long as you have nothing to hide, you have no fear bukolasaraki. Remember Donald Trump and the Mueller investigations? Do you know the result? Thats the way it works.
Why bother if u are clean , please sir keep quiet and let efcc do its job like the police did with the offa robbery
You're not serious....if your records are clean, why the crying. Please you must vomit people's money in your possession. But why is EFCC not prosecuting Senator Stella Oduah and Senator TA Orji?
When you were looting you didn’t call it witch-hunt so you didn’t expect the day of reckoning!!
Do not be afraid of me; be afraid of the consequences of your actions - PMB
Was it wizard-hunting when you were stealing the state dry?
Saraki must face the consequences of stealing Kwara state to stupor. EFCC should also look at what happened to the defunct Society General Bank he once over saw.
Ex senate president, former gov & PDP big man No shaking. Let EFCC, ABC, EFG & all lay charges joor, my people below have my back at court Senate & House of rep will close Protests on streets 70 senators in tow 25 barristers 5 SANs Full govt security detail & cars etc 😂

Joshua Dariye got 14 years jail terms after tenure Jolly Nyame got 14 years jail term (reduce to 12 on appeal) after tenure. Bukola Saraki! Please face your case. The best time is after May 29th.
Yeah. Right. 'Suffer not the witches to live' - Holy book
Hmmm,...

Stop being a witch
Don’t be afraid if you’re clean bro.
Shebi its just an investigation. We trust you more than you trust yourself, let's wait for officialEFCC
No religion encourages kindness to the WITCH.
Witches are to be hunted. bukolasaraki
One wonders, how asking you to give account of your service as a public servant-Gov, is a witch-hunt.If you served your people honorably , just clear things up with EFCC and stop 🛑 whining
If ur hands are clean u need not 2worry Sir
Forget about EFCC, they always fight the oppositions, we have many corrupt people in the presidency, the present and the past Senators, the reps, the ministers, the governors, and if you are not belong to them you are CORRUPTS and you will be prosecuted by the EFCC. GOD DEY O.
No matter how long, facing the consequences of political offices holder would bring accountability to governance.
Have you got anything to hide?
Who is witch hunting who?they say money still they miss you never hear the announcement ni
Yeah right, didn't you say that before Offa robbery became public? For someone that claim he's richer than KWARA state, let them witch-hunt all they want, am sure you have nothing hiding from here to Panama?
Let them investigate you, thank God every politicians from Kwara would be involve including all APCNigeria members that were in your cabinet as governor. No one will be spare. Let the game begin.
When would they start investigating Tinubu, Amaechi and other guys tenure too?
Ti iwo ba se rere ara kio a ya ooo
Luckily for you. You are not a witch. So you are safe
they ll fail
Blood sucking winch
You be winch
Forever_Rayyan We know already.
It's better for the EFCC to start the investigation right from the you re conceived. 🙄
Just to be sure you dont leave Nigeria anytime soon...
In fact, I support the move! If they even start from the day you were born, I will be very happy. So, go & face them, sir
It's wizard-hunt
Everything is witch-hunt.
Even If you call it wizardhunter, so be it. At least u need to fear not if u had come out of Kwara Govt. House with clean hands.
We should ask if he has done anything wrong
Na Trump you bi?
No be only witch-hunt wizard-hunt self join. Yeye
Just like TRUMP!!!!!!
Ok sir since it’s a witch hunt shame them by proven yourself innocent
Whenever our leaders are asked to account for dia spendings, dey call it witch hunt
It is. You failed to confirm Magu as EFCC chairman! nextlevel.
Who Cares about that ? Go & clear your Self of any lingering allegations about your Tenure there. Will be one of the Witnesses against you.
We know its Magu paying you back for not confirming his nomination as efcc chair
That’s fine with me. Let’s find the witch.
This is pure Wizard-hunt. It surpasses witch-hunt.
No, its called accountability.
Are u my a witch
Why worry if ur clean? Let Dem bring international forensics ma
Don't worry Saraki,if you haven't kept any witch/witches during your tenure,then nothing to worry about,officialefcc would find nothing
