Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has told the BBC Hausa service, that he acquired 95 percent of his wealth before he entered politics.
This is coming at a time when the Senate President is currently under investigation by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government, over allegations of false declaration of assets, when he was Governor of Kwara State.
Saraki however, acknowledged that there was corruption in the country, but said his wealth was as a result of his rich family backdrop, and hardwork.
He said he was confident that he would be cleared by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, over alleged corruption charges, and would continue to serve in public office.
Saraki, also said he had not evaded tax, an accusation highlighted in the famous Panama Papers.
He said: “Based on legal advice, the company was set up, because they were acquiring an asset, and it was advised at that time, and that’s how it was set up, to the best of our knowledge. It was not a company that was set up by ourselves; it was set up by a legal firm, and under a legal firm as far as to the best of our knowledge, no law was being broken.”
Saraki’s wife (Toyin), also appeared in those documents, and was accused of registering a company offshore, to buy a London property.
