The CCT revealed that Tinubu was wrongfully discharged five years ago for allegedly operating foreign accounts while serving as governor Lagos State.
In related news, counsel to Senate president, Bukola Saraki, Kanu Agabi, has urged the Conduct Tribunal to discharge his client, Saraki, who is being tried for similar criminal offence allegation for which Bola Tinubu got away with about five years ago.
Kanu Agabi made the plea after prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, stated that Tinubu was wrongly discharged because the tribunal was misled into setting the former governor free.
