GworoChewinMaga: I really think you are getting it wrong , maybe Falana was being touted as a likely attorney General and not CJN. Or post a thread of such a story where APC was thinking of making falana CJN |

TheDevilIsALai:have u never heard of the phrase 'double jeopardy' Tinubu would never be tried again in his life for that same offence.. Nobody is twice tried for one offence wether the judgement was per incuriam or not.. He is free forever and so says the law. |

Deen77: Please don't mind him. Tinubu's crime is that he is Yoruba and helped to bring down GEJ our brothers from the SE personally carried on their head as if he is their biological father. Despite all that is being revealed about Saraki they are still praying he gets off while dragging Tinubu into this sorry issue. Tinubu was essentially accused of running foreign accounts while in political office which is an offence in Nigeria. Yet how does this compare to all that is being revealed about Saraki to include collection wages and emoluments for political office he no longer occupies? This is why the tribalistic hatred Nigerians some have for others is scary. When you no longer see serious wrongdoing and begin wishing the perpetrator gets away with it, ala an enemy of my enemy is my friend, then you are morally adrift and mentally unhealthy. Tinubu was cleared of charges against him. Saraki should fight to clear his name also. As simple as that. This case has nothing to do with Tinubu and we know those who want to drag Asiwaju into this by hook or by crook. They are the same folks who wish him death and write daily he is "down" with a stroke, paralysis, heart attack, Parkinson etc, etc, etc. The man continues to move forward and raise their blood pressure. Yet the funny thing is that they do not realise that they will be the victim of the stroke they are always wishing on Tinubu if they do not leave the man alone and continue to wish evil upon him. |

TheDevilIsALai: You are mentally deranged and a truely dangerous half-illiterate. You are too ignorant to know that only lawyers in government employment are/can be nominated into the CJN and falana is not one. Keep swimming in delusional grandeur like your vanquished forefathers of mid-sixties. But for the right of free speech, a ranter like you should be behind bars for slander. |

OP it's clear you have shallow knowledge about legal or court process. If you'll take correction, I am pleased to inform you that CCT can't revisit TINUBU's case since it already acquitted him. For more knowledge ask lawyers around u. |

TheDevilIsALai:Since there's no source I never take this serious, Saraki's case is different from Tinubu's case. Saraki is facing trial for assets declaration and there are proof that he declared some properties in 2003 and he bought those properties in between 2006/2007. |
Re: Saraki's Trial Spells Doom For Tinubu by BERNIMOORE: 12:55pm On Apr 24, 2016 |
Here is one of the numerous proof bashydemy:http://wiyanigerians..com.ng/2011/09/tinubus-trial-over-alleged-ownership-of.html Thursday, September 22, 2011 FORMER Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was yesterday formally arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) in Abuja for allegedly operating 10 foreign bank accounts while in office. Tinubu’s alleged action the tribunal heard was a breach of the code of conduct for public officers in Nigeria. The trial of the former governor was however stalled as Tinubu objected to his plea being taken based on a preliminary objection, which challenged the competence of the charge and the jurisdiction of the tribunal to try him. Within and around the premises of the court were tens of stern-looking mobile policemen, who restrained loyalists of Tinubu, who had thronged the tribunal to show solidarity to him. Even journalists had a harrowing experience as security operatives barred them from entering the premises. After several phone calls to the Police authorities at the Force Headquarters and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, the security operatives admitted journalists in, while Tinubu’s supporters looked on and sang different choruses in praise of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) leader. While the passers-by were being treated to songs and dance, the real business was going on inside the court with Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State and his Osun State counterpart Rauf Aregbesola as well as some notable members of the South West in the National Assembly in attendance. Prosecution counsel, Dr. Alex Aigbe Izinyon (SAN) asked Tinubu to take his place in the dock. And as he entered the dock, Izinyon who had filed an amended charge yesterday against the ACN chief, applied that it be read to him. But Tinubu’s lead counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun, who had on his team 35 lawyers including 10 senior advocates, objected to his client’s plea being taken on the count that he had a preliminary objection challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal to entertain the charge and its competence. Olanipekun told the tribunal that they were never served with a copy of the charge, but having come to their notice through other means, the accused person and the legal team decided to appear before it in demonstration of their respect for the court and “unalloyed” belief in the rule of law and justice. Izinyon conceded that personal service is crucial to any criminal matter, but explained that it was not easy to effect personal service on him. He pledged to cooperate with the tribunal to ensure that justice was done in the case. Izinyon also informed the tribunal he had already filed a motion before the court for the purpose of the amendment. But Olanipekun notified the CCT of an earlier preliminary objection, which it had filed challenging the earlier charge. He said since Izinyon had filed an amended charge, the defence team would need time to file a fresh preliminary objection to the amended charge. Although that position attracted some fresh arguments, the tribunal was inclined to granting an adjournment as it held that no other step could be taken until the issue of its jurisdiction had been resolved one way or the other. Accordingly, the tribunal’s chairman, Danladi Yakubu Umar, adjourned the case to October 26, 2011. As Tinubu, clad in a navy blue traditional attire with a navy blue cap with some light blue strips, was being driven off in measured pace, apparently to allow him acknowledge his supporters, he wound down the glass on his side and waved at them. The three-count amended charge filed against Tinubu by Kyari Ahmed from the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation read that [b]“as former governor of Lagos State and being a public officer as listed in part II of the Fifth Schedule to the 1999 Constitution and having subscribed to the oath of office as contained in the same schedule to the constitution on assumption of office between 1999-2000 and while in office engaged yourself in the operation of several foreign bank accounts.” The banks were named as First Heritage Bank, Country Club Hills, Illinois, USA with the Account Name as Bola Tinubu with Account Number 263226700; Citibank in New York using the Account Name of Bola Tinubu & Compass Finance and Investment Company Ltd with Account Numbers 39483134, 39483396,4650279566, 00400220, 39936404, 39936383; Citibank International, New-York with Account Name as Bola Tinubu and Account Numbers 52050-89451952 and 52050-89451953. Tinubu is also accused of operating an account with HSBC, 177 Great Portland Street London, WIW 6QJ under Senator Bola Tinubu, with Account Number 71253670, Sort Code -40-03-15; HSBC, 177 Great Portland Street, London, WIW 6QJ. Account Name: Senator Bola Oluremi Tinubu, Account Number: 1253670 Sort Code -40-03-15; HSBC, 177 Great Portland Street London, WIW 6OJ. Account Name: Senator Bola Tinubu - Money Market Account Number 04320002DN, and another account with the same bank under the name London of Tinubu Habitat Oyindamola (Miss) with Account Number 1320960111. The ACN leader also allegedly owned another account with the name, Tinubu Zainab Abisola (Miss) with Account Number 172447101 with HSBC and another account under the name of Tinubu Oluremi Shade with Account Number 1916667988 with the same bank and a similar account with the name of Oluremi Shade Tinubu with Account Number 41421522 contrary to section 7 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act; Cap C15 LFN, 2004 as amended and punishable under section 23 (2) thereof as incorporated under paragraph 18, part 1, Fifth Schedule to the 1999 Constitution. Tinubu was also accused of misinforming the conduct bureau by stating that in Form CBB1 that he had no foreign account thereby violating section 15 (2) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Cap C15 LFN, 2004 as amended and punishable under paragraph 18, Fifth Schedule to the nation’s constitution (as amended).[/b] The party leaders wondered why the police, apparently acting on orders, would deprive Nigerians of their constitutionally-guaranteed rights to move freely and express their opinions within their country, more so when they are not carrying arms or causing public disorder. Mohammed said: “Stopping the vehicles conveying the party members and confiscating the keys to the vehicles, just to ground them, is nothing but sheer government tyranny against its own people. “We insist that the trial of our national leader (Tinubu) five years after he left office is politically motivated. The Federal Government-controlled PDP has not forgiven the Servant Leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu for causing the political earthquake in the South-West and beyond in 2011general elections.” The party warns that PDP is travelling on the road that is familiar to it and would not be intimidated. Tinubu’s present travail is traced allegations made by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) on October 17, 2007. The bureau had listed him among 15 former governors that breached its code on asset declaration. Since the tribunal summoned Tinubu, the case has generated a lot of controversy in the polity. His appearance yesterday split politicians into opposing camps on the rationale or otherwise of reopening the case. While some said that the trial was a politically motivated because Tinubu caused the ruling PDP much pains, others said President Goodluck Jonathan had just kick-started his war against corruption, choosing the “untouchables” as his starting point. The PDP and the ACN are no strange bedfellows as far the judiciary is concerned. The travail of Tinubu is by extension the long court battle between the two parties. The PDP has come out the loser in all the major cases. |

BERNIMOORE:But remember he pleaded not guilty cos he has been running those account before becoming the Governor of Lagos state and never run those account when he was Governor. |
