According to a statement by Yusuph Olaniyonu, Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, Saraki said the proceedings of Tuesday have given him confidence that if the trial is conducted fairly he would be vindicated.
The Senate President noted that even though the prosecution tried to bring in some dramatic narratives, it was clear that they were merely thrashing around and hoping to titillate the public with salacious tales. He added that he was hopeful however that when the time comes, his lawyers will have the opportunity to present his case.
