Addressing newsmen on the pre-synod programmes for the first session of the 14th synod of the diocese, held at the Bishops Court, Onikolobo, Abeokuta, he advised Saraki to resign from office and face his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, over false assets declaration.
He said: “Let the masses use their rights in cautioning their representatives not to do wrong things. It is here in Nigeria that a political office holder is accused of corruption, and such person will not deem it fit to vacate office for him/her to face his/her charges. This is not the case in a sane society.
“By, now, the Senate President, Saraki, ought to have toed the path of honour and stepped out of office, so as to allow for thorough investigation. His running from one court to the other to halt his trial shows that he is not a man of integrity.
The Bishop said the Synod with the theme: “The Beatitudes,” will hold from Friday 29th to Sunday 1st of May, and that former Head of Interim National Government, Chief Ernest Sonekan, the Ogun state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, among other notable Nigerians would grace the occasion.
He added that the session will feature a revival, a seminar with the topic: ‘Creating multiple sources of revenue in time of economic downturn,’ health talk among other activities.
