StOla:
Fayose has finally played into the trap set for him.

If I remember correctly, Salisu Buhari (of the Buhari Toronto fame) resigned as speaker and faced perjury and forgery charges in 1999. When judgement was given, he was sentenced to a couple of months each per charge or N2000 each in lieu which he opted for.

Aluko will definitely be found guilty and sentenced with an option of very cheap fine as our outrageous laws allow. In finding him guilty, Fayose and his co planners and financial facilitators would have condemned themselves to criminal prosecution with the same evidences that serve to condemn Aluko for his recant as perjury.

Aluko is a suicide bomber. He has no intention of surviving his own attack. He will be destroyed, but many must go with him.

Habakus:
Bro,i don't think that's how perjury cases are tried. In perjury trials,the duty of the court is to determine if the accused willfully lied to the court during the course of lending his witness; not to reopen the case. If it is established that Aluko (to the best of his knowledge) was aware of any election malpractice and he went ahead and gave false evidence in court,then he will be punished accordingly. Fayose is completely in the clear. Infact,Fayose has almost nothing to defend or present to the court. The case is between the Nigerian state/court vs Aluko.

steppin:

You're wrong. He's protected by immunity, but he can be impeached.

doctokwus:

The foolish,mentally challenged gov doesn't know he is playing into a well planned game by Aluko.
Aluko was expecting to even be arrested and charged for perjury and hoping for a conviction which will then annul his court testimonies and pave the way for Fayose to be arrested by the same court process,when his immunity expires,in just about 2yrs time.
It's only a foolish man like Fayose that wud rush into arranging something like this without knowing what the end game is.
If this perjury thing succeeds,as I know Aluko is prepared for, then Fayose has been trapped where his adversaries want.

StOla:


The lie/perjury would be proved with evidence contrary to what was tendered during the tribunal and court trials.

Once these evidences are proven to be factual, Aluko will be condemned with it for perjury, while Fayose will begin to warm up to have same facts condemn him too for the actual electoral crime in a different case of electoral fraud.

Aluko will supply the required evidences for both convictions.

Section 308 of the constitution provides for executive immunity but that tuko guy should get ready to answer some questions in jail

toludadon:


do you know Fayose's election can be annulled by citing new development at the Supreme Court? whenever there are new evidences, courts review their judgments, and I'm sure this is exactly what the opposition in Ekiti are waiting for.. Aluko will be found guilty which in turn will make other people to approach the courts that since Fayose's star witness has confirmed that he lied under oath that the election was free and fair which formed the premise of earlier judgment, then it'll be in the interest of justice to review the judgment and I can assure you that Fayose will be gone in a jiffy

2rutalk1:
Thank you. It is only if the said Aluko can supply a convincing evidence that the election was marred by irregularities. However, the said evidence can only be entertained, if it is found to be a criminal case, else the matter will be null and void and of no effect because the Supreme Court, which is the final arbiter on election matters has ruled on the election and no other court can entertain such a case.

Spybradd:


"we shall see" thats the language of cowards and losers and dreamers who day dream when other are on the proactive and dynamic move..
Try hard again,loser

ozoigbondu:
You seem to have forgotten that the so called ekitigate tape was presented as evidence by APC at the Supreme Court but was overlooked

flokii:


loser?

where were you when fayose slapped a sitting judge... i know where you're from already

you see him as d last-hero standing to tackle PMB

I cnt blame you tho... na INEFFECTUAL Judicial system wey we get

MayorofLagos:
Why is court issuing an order of arrest? This is not their job.

2rutalk1:
My dear that is not how it works in law. The said Aluko testified before the Judges at the apex court that the process that led to the election and the election itself were free, fair and credible - that was an oath he swore. In another statement, this same Aluko told the whole world that the election was marred by irregularities.
Fayose on the other hand has never made any statement contrary to the one he made at the apex court. The issue of perjury is not about whether the election was rigged or not, it is about making a contrary statement to the one made before a court of competent jurisdiction. In the eye of the law, it is punishable.

Supreme Court did not admit the tape as an exhibit because it ruled that new documents could not be tendered but I can assure you that now that they have discovered that a principal party in the tape has attested to its authenticity, justice will be served.. have you noticed that Fayose has been nervous unnecessarily since the military panel sat? the findings of the panel and this Aluko guy's confession will be used in court

toludadon:



same Supreme Court will be approached that the basis for the earlier judgement was misleading.. a perfect example is that if someone accused of murder has been acquitted up to the Supreme Court and other incontrovertible evidences came up later that he is guilty of the murder, the earlier judgment will be reviewed

Kastonkastroll:
Fayose should be invited too, the thug needs to clear his thuggish reputation from the ekitigate brouhaha.

Btw I seriously believe that this is the handiwork of fayose. He want the police to arrest aluko because the man exposed his dirty secrets. lolx fayose have suddenly forgot that the NPF is controlled by the executives(buhari). I laugh

Kastonkastroll:
hoax man. There are certain offenses you will commit as a governor and believe me, you will be strip of that immunity that is protecting you and be prosecuted. You can't go on a killing spree just because you are a seating governor and expect the law to fold its hands and do nothing. Let me tell you, if buhari wants to deal with fayose today, no silly immunity can protect him.
Dude we are talking about ultimate power here, the power of can do and will do.
