chukwudi44:I don't know why you sometimes like blind argument. Better you try to understand how stuffs works. The National Assembly is set to begin the process of constitution amendment towards ensuring immunity for heads of the three arms of government. The emboldened should be enough to end this argument of amendment or no amendment. The Constitution was clear on who is/are to enjoy Immunity from prosecution. Any change amounts to AMENDMENT! 2 Likes |

chukwudi44:Amenment of a Constitution is in itself a bill. When passed it becomes an Act. See where Jonathan vetoed the 2015 Amendment Act www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/181900-nigerian-govt-sues-senate-house-over-constitution-amendments.html |

Iykopee:Even in the USA the President enjoys immunity from criminal prosecution. In fact, ALL Presidents (Heads of States) and Heads of Government enjoy global immunity from arrests and prosecution...except when impeached or warrant issued by International Criminal Court, but NO head of legislative or judicial arm enjoys such. It isn't peculiar to Nigeria! 1 Like |

Iykopee: This is my take!! What is good for the goose is also good for the gander!!! We cannot just allow one arm of Government to be bullying the others!! If not for the immunity clause i wonder what would have become of Governors like Wike,Fayose,Udom etc |

dialfa:Unfortunately, Nigeria can't and won't wait for Saraki to resign or be impeached! If he can not exercise such moral obligation then he will be dragged into the mud even further and go down history as the FIRST sitting Senate President to be convicted! The law is NO respecter of any person(s). As for incumbent president, it boils down to the parliament to institute impeachment proceedings if they find him wanting. No country in the world try a sitting president. 1 Like |

chukwudi44:You should have read the article! The amendment scaled through the 36 States Houses BUT it fell short of Section 8. The FG not only vetoed it but instituted legal action against the NASS before the Supreme Court. The case is Still in court and has NOT been made valid. Hence, nobody cite the 2015 Constitutional amendment in law! The ko-ko is that 36 States Houses are needed to OKAY amendment(read that link). The moment one House refuse, it becomes INVALID! 1 Like |

TonyeBarcanista: See hypocrisy You are still confusing Saraki with the office of the Senate President Nigeria will have to live with the consequences of its actions and wait for Saraki to resign or be impeached If Saraki cannot exercise moral obligations, he should be dragged in the mud but the Office of the Senate president cannot be dragged in the mud! The office must be protected. Patience is a virtue. 1 Like |

dialfa:No sir, I've always maintained that the office of the SP is distinct from the occupant. If the occupant cannot shouw moral obligation to step down, then he will be dragged by the prosecutors. The office will NOT and CANNOT be protected from criminal prosecution. Nigeria is not a banana republic 4 Likes |
Re: Proposed Immunity For Senate President, Speaker Etal: Dead On Arrival (DOA) by dialfa: 12:54pm On Oct 05, 2015 |
TonyeBarcanista: The office CAN and MUST be protected from prosecution. The judiciary has no business tampering with the legislature. Democracy doesn't work like that. There must be separation of powers. The justice system can try the occupant when he/she is removed from the office. Mr Saraki will not remain senate president forever as we are not a banana republic. |

In advanced countries the leadership does not have immunity, in fact they are the most accountable and can be charged for any offence while in office. Nigerians have to insist on this for ANY position even President of Nigeria. 2 Likes |

For me I want immunity of the executive removed. I see no reason why the executive should have immunity and other arms of government don't have same. Can I know the why? If I were the Senate President today. I'll seek for immunity for the legislative leadership or total removal. Let no one get it twisted. |
