On December 4, 2015, a 3-man panel of the Supreme Court, ordered a stay of proceeding by the CCT, pending the determination of the appeal and asked the counsels to exchange their brief of argument within 14 days.
The senate president argued that the CCT does not have the jurisdiction to try him because it was not properly constituted. He said the constitution provided that the tribunal must comprise of three members, and not two.

He added that the charges were not competently made.
Saraki is facing a 13-count charge of false assets declaration, which he allegedly made before the CCT in 2003 as Kwara State Governor
