Maku should know that the media is not his friend not at this time his boss is being persecuted by the media. he sure would get himself fired before time if he doesn't apply tact. |
Re: Maku Apologises To Senate Over Statement by Kewt: 2:22pm On Sep 26, 2012 |
Maku was damn right. Resolutions of the parliament are only advisory and not binding on the executive.. He should have stood his ground like Sanusi Lamido did during 25% overhead expenditure on National assembly statement saga but I almost wept when I saw him on tv yesterday apologizing to the senate committee on information. It’s always like that for any man who fears his stomach more than his name or reputation. In an attempt to save his job and face, he has ridiculed the presidency and himself. 3 Likes |

Maku is a Naturally careless talker he will definitely repeat the same thing. If he apologises to The Senators what about the Nigerian youths that protested against the fuel subsidy removal that he called "Jobless Miscreants"? The youths too are still waiting for your apology. 2 Likes |

This was just a political apology intended to massage big size egos. He has already said the truth and the senators know he said the truth. They are just gallivanting over nothing. Foolish Mark. |

These senators are just a bunch of clowns. I wonder if David Mark passed secondary school Government at all. Where on earth did they come about the idea that a resolution of parliament is binding? It is elementary knowledge that it is only laws passed by the National Assembly that assume a force of law not resolutions. A resolution is not enforceable. It's breach cannot even give rise to an action in court. I'm shocked that they have used pressure to extract a cosmetic apology from Maku. The minister of Information was damn right in his statement. 3 Likes |

The senate cant take away his job, they have no such powers. Maku's previous statement was not wrong in anyway. David Mark is still deluded with by military pride. I guess he will meet his match in SLS someday |
Re: Maku Apologises To Senate Over Statement by uzomagic(m): 2:57pm On Sep 26, 2012 |
For the sake of clarity, I want to reproduce the excerpts of that report to show that Maku is right and stood by his words and just gave a political apology inorder not to cause an executive/legislative rift. Brilliant man. "The Senate thereafter summoned Maku to appear before it to clarify his statement. The minister, while appearing before the Senate Committee on Information, had said: “I did not in any way intend to disparage or disrespect the authority of the National Assembly by my comment. ``I was just trying to explain to the journalists without having to make a declaration on behalf of the President (Goodluck Jonathan). ``If that comment has been misinterpreted, I tender my apologies to the Senate because personally, I have no reason to disrespect the National Assembly. “I was at a forum and journalists threw a question at me, as to whether the government would cancel the introduction of the N5000 note as a result of the Senate resolution. ``Now, I was pressed by the press and journalists were looking for headlines. The answer was not the position of the federal government and I took efforts to explain to my colleagues.’’ Maku, however, told the Senators that he was not misquoted by the press. On whether the resolutions of the Senate were binding or not, Maku said he was aware that if the nation was at war, the National Assembly had the power to extend the life span of a government." If you read the bolded critically without bias, you will be convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Maku stands by his statement. He just wants to make it clear that statements credited to him should not be associated with his principal-Jonathan hence the cosmetic apology. He never said he was sorry for saying what we all know is the truth. He stands courageously by his statement. He said clearly that the press did not misquote him meaning that he said it and stand by it. But for the sake of Jonathan, if the statement is misinterpreted as executive slight on legislature then I apologise. 1 Like |

Finally, Maku has shown us the big loud mouthed fool that he is. y apologise to the senate when he was infact right by his statement. If the national assembly's resolutions were not mere advise, subsidy woulda still been in place. as it stands, the fg can still go ahead with the implementation of the 5k note and nothing go happen |

I m so surprised that educated people are making the kind of statements I see on this thread, Some people can't even place the boundaries between executive powers and legislative powers. It's so unfortunate. These Senators are just power drunk. Somebody should help me tell Mark that he cannot sack a minister or DG or chairman of any MDA'S . Perhaps, he is still smarting from military dictatorship and that is why he still feels he can fire and hire at will. |
