Buhari looks like that person that will never learn from history. He may end up being the only Nigerian president that is dismissed twice. Events of 1984 may democratically repeat itself in this dispensation.

It's a pity we have many naive-minded commentators lately on the cyberspace....this writer had forgotten that in the absence of an Attorney-General, the most Senior Officer in the CCB can act in the capacity of the AG. The issue at stake here demands urgency towards a staggering case (billions of dollars accrued to a single noble thief), even Tinubu appeared in the dock in this same CCT when he was served his notice. So who the hell is this spoilt brat forming one god against the Law of the Land?

First time I would disagree with u on this forum, your opinions are almost all of the time spot on, but on this you got it wrong. Let me say upfront that I consider Saraki a despicable, treacherous, opportunistic scoundrel, a rapacious thief deserving all the tribulations being meted to him by his equally power hungry, tyrannical soul mates. That said, I believe we are a country governed by law and under no circumstance should the tenets, letters and the core principles of law be deviated from just because it's expedient to do so. If we encourage mob action against a deserving thief someday an innocent relative may be wrongly lynched to death just because someone maliciously called him Ole in the market place.

To what you opined, my dissent

1) the law is very specific on who can prosecute or authorize prosecution by way of delegating his authority for false declaration of assets, The attorney general of the federation. This is unlike any other criminal prosecution where the power to prosecute can be implied even when there is no substantive AG

2) like I said earlier, the law is not referring to the office but the person of the Attorney general, there is no ambiguity. No other person can act on his behalf unless there is an express authorisation from the AGF. In this case, Buhari shot himself in the foot by his inexplicable delay in appointing his ministers

3) The law recognize a vacuum if there is one even though nature abhors it

4) In its rush to please the puppeteer, CCB not only acted unlawfully but also in total disregard of its own procedures. An accuse is to be afforded an opportunity by the commission to explain any discrepancy discovered after verification of his declared assets, the commission only proceeds to prosecute if the Explanation is considered unsatisfactory. In this case nothing of such happened.

5) this constitutional infraction may not be weighty enough to warrant the impeachment of the president, moreso when there is nothing to show he is directly involved in this shenanigan but I assure you that if he continues to behave like we are still in a military era where his whims must be obeyed and his wishes must be law , then sooner or later even those cheer him on now would start seeing him as a menace that must be thwarted, he frittered away his goodwill in 84, same can still happen

Every body including illiterates like the OP have now suddenly turned into Political Analysts and Public Relations Experts



The problem with some jobless non-entities is that they are equating romance blogging to political analysis.

Can you imagine the effrontery of this degenerate in postulating on issues that are way above her intellectual capacity?

If you cannot see the handwriting on the wall by now, you need help

Illiterate!

Thank you for the polite disagreement. You may read this https://www.nairaland.com/2609612/ccbs-ongoing-prosecution-saraki-constitutional#38152461. I believe the constitutional provisions will clear your doubt

MizMyColi:


Good Morning.
I guess this is what the writer meant when he talked about Buhari risking impeachment.
I totally concur with you on this one.

In the rule of interpretation, when there is a specific provision it overrides any general provision in the constitution. Section 174 deals with the powers and responsibilities of an attorney general which can be exercised by any other senior officer in the ministry of justice so empowered in the absence of a substantive AG. The provision of the CCB envisage a substantive AG and conferred on him specific responsibilities which only he can exercise or expressly delegate. The reason most high profile accuse escape justice is because those saddled with the responsibility to investigate and prosecute wittingly or unwittingly leave legal lacunas or breach the legal procedure which eventually leads to unending litigation or technical acquittal

you know I don't do emotional blackmail. If it were another person, I'd come with the iron-fist and probably get a pound of flesh.

Don't think this is the first time you are a making a real balls-up of yourself; this is one of the hundreds(b in your name, but I personally chose to ignore them due to the fact I have that modicum respect for you and, our relationship is not based always on what pdp and apc throw at us or throw us into.


My disappointment with you is not premised on your post here, but on your inability to make reference to legal literature and records on cases like this one bro subscribing to this fatuous article from a fatuous source. It shows one is bereft of that modicum knowledge of things, if u just take everything as a point of mark to identify with...like u did on this.

Who cares ....

So far so good, nothing the OP says has been proven a lie.
The issue of contention here is the Buhari Impeachment...which discerning minds already appropriated to continued actions in these lines.

This is a forum and like I said, learning never stops...

If I post something which seems correct to me and in the long run, a superior argument strikes mine out, everyone is better for it.
You claim you are my friend, when you saw the rubbish that I posted, did you so much as quote me to say, "No, Miz, it is like this and like this....Did you do anything to help me get better, knowledge wise?"
No.
You saw someone condemning me and you hopped right in to register yours.


Emotionally blackmailing me and perhaps indirectly insinuating what I know you are insinuating is so not cool. Not cool

TonyeBarcanista:

Which constitution/Act are you interpreting from? If it's an Act, then the Constitution overrides ANY Act that is in conflict! If it is from the Constitution then I will like to see the relevant section. This is a Constitutional matter not an emotional one

Check section 24 (2) of the code of conduct bureau and tribunal Act. Like I stated earlier, section 174 of the constitution deals with the powers of the attorney general to institute criminal cases in regular courts and in the absence of an AG the constitution allows other officers in the ministry of justice to exercise such powers. In the case of non compliance with CCB ACT on asset declaration and related breaches, the procedure is specific and unambiguous, only an AG or someone he specifically authorise at federal and state level can bring a charge on behalf of the fed govt against an accuse. This provision is not in conflict with section 174 of the constitution and therefore not void. In my considered opinion, this case would go on appeal and the appellate court is bound to side with Saraki and his counsel
