Senator Bukola Saraki has exposed Sahara Reporters’ Publisher, Omoyele Sowore. The Senate President has revealed that he has been demanding bribe from him, during his on-going trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT.
The politician made this allegation through the twitter handle of his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Bamikole Omisore. “@yelesowore everyone knows you have strong appetite for $$$, if you had evidence of $2 million bribe, you will blow whistle”
“You are a fraud & days of fake news[are] coming to an end. Nigerians are wiser, you can’t use propaganda to extort. I know this is a personal loss for you. No more excuse for you to milk your pay masters to use CCT to blackmail.”
“OMOYELE SOWORE is a THIEF, BARAWO. You cannot use your platform to blackmail Saraki to get $$$[dollars]. The victory from CCT today is victory for democracy, victory for rule of law. Loss for propagandist like @YeleSowore. I’m sure if the prosecution had a case or we paid @YeleSowore as demanded. I’m sure it will be justice even with same judges in your eyes.”
Sahara Reporters had on Wednesday 14th June, 2017 accused Saraki of paying $2 million to CCT Chairman to dismiss the 18-count charges against him.
