Nigeria's Senate president Bukola Saraki should be happy that he has been put somewhere in the front of the line to receive his judgement and possible punishment early in the game and get it over with on time. He should be happy at this privilege. By submitting for his case and not continuing to run away, indeed he will prove to Nigerians that he is a true leader in good and bad times.
But by running away, demonstrating that he is "above the law" and sponsoring youth to go protest for him, he is committing further crimes and cementing his guilt in more places than one.
Literally every thing can be blamed on politics. Hanging it on politics is not an excuse to run from court. If all Nigerians claimed summons was politics, there will no longer be a need of a court system in Nigeria. Saraki should learn from Tinubu who is remembered with the image above, "sleeping in the dock" while waiting for his case.
We remember that in 2011 the same Code of Conduct Tribunal dismissed the case against Tinubu for "lack of diligent prosecution." And that was a Tinubu brave enough to face the school master who was actually serving under a PDP federal government: the other Party. Who knows, perhaps Saraki will defeat his case faster than we can say jackrabbit and come out stronger and a respected national symbol.
We trust that so many big witches will be hunted down. Big names will go down. There will at last be tears in the homes of the cabal as there have been in ours, in the homes in Chibok, in Otueke, in Gwoza, in Eyenkorin and all other habitations where the poor abound. Those who have their cases addressed first should count themselves the luckiest.
We Like Witch-Hunting
And to those who call stuff a witch-hunt. Nigerians are rather happy with the witch hunters. We support Buhari and Osinbajo hunting all witches, thieves and other creatures of the darkness that worked with Jonathan through the years as senators, governors, other office holders and private cabal, and participated in and facilitated the corrupt practices that took Nigeria to the brink of economic, social and security catastrophe and collapse. The Chibok girls are begging for this "witch-hunt" from where they suffer or decay today.

If you feel the "witch-hunt" that is just beginning is selective, not to worry, three years and change soon come. Contest, win power and witch hunt your own. This way all witches and thieves and other creatures of the night will be finished in Nigeria in a couple of cycles guaranteed.

Politics
is played for keeps, as Biden knows as well as anyone. As a grieving
father, Biden is permitted to show his emotions in public, but as a
candidate, he can only show strength. Biden’s first run for the Senate
coincided with the 1972 presidential campaign, when Sen. Ed Muskie,
D-Maine, denouncing a newspaper attack on his wife, was photographed
with droplets on his face that might have been tears. Or they might have
been, as he claimed, melting snowflakes, but it was too late: The
implication of weakness was fatal to his campaign.From
now until the election, if he runs, Biden must perform a delicate
balancing act: He has to keep intact his vaunted “authenticity,” the
human qualities that voters find so appealing, without becoming known as
the candidate of grief. He must not give even the slightest appearance
that he is seeking attention or support on the basis of sympathy — and
not just because voters would turn away from him. The more insidious
danger is to his own conscience; he has to face himself in the mirror
and be certain he isn’t using this tragedy as a vehicle for his own
ambition.
