The APC leadership in the South West owe this man a lot. Fayemi and Aregbesola in particular should compensate him if they have not done so. Tinubu tried compensating him by installing his candidate in the last Ondo state election but the iroko machine crushed them. 2 Likes |

joshbam: The man was fair in his judgement, must everybody go the same direction with Mr. President The man has done a great job.... Kudos man Even if the President's direction were right and just? hmmmm.... come to think of it what was the "President's direction" in the first place that makes Justice Salami's counter judgment Fair and great? I thought the President supported Free and Fair election which saw ACN victorious. If say na Abacha abi IBB who for fit cough? |

I really felt for this man in the way he was battered with very heavy stick then. It was a horrendous experience for him. I wondered then what could happen to an ordinary person in our society if a PCA's face could be so marooned. However, the evidence brought against Salami then were somewhat convincing but the opposition with its noise could not let us diagnose the case on its merit. Salami had denied any calls to Tinubu and Lai Mohammed and other ACN chieftains but when the call log was presented he claimed it must have been transposed. Although calls and SMSes can be transposed, does that automatically rule out the possibility that he placed those calls himself? Considering the time when the said calls were made, can we say his detractors backlogged a transposed call? That is not possible. Considering Salami's sensitive position in the Public service was it not rather eccentric for him to make such weighty accusation on the then AGF? I think he should have sought a calm means of resolving the Sokoto issue knowing fully that the AGF would not have a choice but to bow considering what will happen if he's stubborn and his act goes public eventually. If Salami said the AGF called him for such a corrupt act he should also produce the call log as the NJC produced his own call. I think he was too fast to talk (to the public) without 1st of all considering the ramifications of his utterance. Justice Salami's suspension was recommended by the NJC to the president. In the sense of separation of power the president was obligated to approve the suspension while Salami sorts himself out with the people he was fighting (although it was still the AGF and the PDP) but the ACN made it sound as if Salami was in a personal squable with Jonathan. |

ERockson: Salami kept saying he did not regret what he did. Pls what did he do?While serving as president of the Appeal Court, he watched as the opposition was handed over electoral victory in many states especially in the SW region which was his home region. These victories, according to the PDP, came through the most legally "intransparent and hasty manner". This caused a rouse and the PDP began to trial him. They said they intercepted calls which he had with the opposition key leaders (this is against the ethics of his position). The NJC found that as corrupt and the disciplinary committee set up an enquiry into it which found him culpable (by whatever means I don't claim to know). So he was suspended. As someone who's neither a PDP nor an ACN supporter, this is what I gathered from the entire noise that happened. Maybe someone could come up with the undercurrent issues. You know, here in Nigeria there's always more than meets the eyes, especially in politics. |

gregg2: A very dark chapter in the nation's judiciary finally comes to an end Truly it's probablly the most shamelful thing to happen to the Nigerian Judiciary since the Supreme courts laughable Omehia-Amechi judgement. But you are wrong about one thing, the last has not been heard on this matter and the last shouldn't be heard till we all know the full story. Until then I still sysmpathise with Salami and more importantly our thoroughly discredited and rapped (sic) Judicial system |
