Corrupt people fighting corruption. But oga Jona really allowed so many things to happen under him.

....hmmmmm, but what happens to the word that says: "there's dignity in labour"

armed robbers, kidnappers, militants also fight for their daily bread

Yes they do but there are people who are paid, trained and equipped to prevent, minimise and prosecute the commission of crimes. They are there because it is kown that there will most likely exist such distasteful elements in any society. If they fail in their jobs and these miscreants strike successfully and even escape, they are as guilty as the criminals.

If the government is unable to diligently investigate and prosecute criminals, they are responsible for their failure.

I just hate Tribalists.. Didn't you see one KANU AGABI

If as learned and exposed Ben Nwabueze is, he could still be supporting corrupt people, why are we now bewildered when an Ariara market is screaming "witch hunting " in support of corruption people.

Supporting anything criminal and bad is encoded in their genome an it's just natural to them.

I knew I would see this kind of statement or post because some people are incurable tribal bigots.

Prof Ben Nwabueze is the No. 1 authority when it comes to Constitutional law and the constitutionality of any action by the government. He had every reason to question the constitutionality of the creation and powers of the EFCC and he rightfully did so.

The fact that some dolt doesn't understand the role/activity of a lawyer does not make such person a corrupt element. Prof has never and will never be on the payroll of any politician. I can't say the sane for all those u have listed here with the possible exception of the late Gani Fawehinmi.

You are completely unable to understand constitutional provisions and applications and that is why ignorance colours every word u just posted.
Also note that those u term corrupt are in the eyes of the law, innocent until proven guilty, entitled to legal representation, and have no business proving their innocence. That burden, by the same law, rests on the prosecution. If they are unable to discharge that burden or allow themselves to be influenced/bought over by any inducements, that is not the fault of the defendant.

No one will roll over and play dead rather u should be disappointed that the government,with everything at its disposal still expects others to take responsibility for their ineptitude. That's the height of hypocrisy and stupidity.

If u feel every lawyer who represents an accused person or queries the legality or otherwise of the actions of the government supports corruption, why did 15 SANs go to represent Buhari despite his inability to produce the basic certificate which qualifies him to even contest for any office?

How does all these jargon you wasted your time to type justify supporting corruption and corrupt people?

How does legal representation mean supporting?

One is above professional calling and a right of the accused while the other is deliberate attempt to pervert justice from taking its due course.

Goodneess. This is serious.

And how did Prof Ben Nwabueze attempt to prevent justice from taking its course? Go and read up and do some research so u don't produce ignorant stuff here though that is most likely all u are capable of but I'm magnanimous enough to give you the benefit of doubt.

I'll help you: Read if u can and identify where Prof Ben supported corruption according to you :

AGAINST the backdrop of prosecution of some ex-state governors for alleged acts of corruption, constitutional lawyer and Chairman, The Patriots, Professor Ben Nwabueze has said that the law setting up the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is illegal because it is ultra vires the 1999 Constitution, and is null and void.

In an interview, Professor Nwabueze deposed that the EFCC act is an "ordinary law" that is subordinate to the constitution. His words:

"The constitution is supreme over the EFCC and the constitution vests the power in the
Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF). We cannot go by ordinary law. The EFCC Act is an ordinary law because the constitution is supreme."

Professor Nwabueze spoke at length on the controversy which arose over who has right to prosecute which cases as regards the trial of some ex-governors, and the bid by the Attorney-General to take over cases.

"It is the constitution that established the office of the Attorney-General and vests the power of criminal prosecution in the Attorney-General. We read the provisions of the EFCC Act and that provision perverts Section 174 of the 1999 constitution.

"In other words, the EFCC Act excludes the Attorney-General. If it does not exclude the Attorney-General, then it insubordinates him to the commission. This is a complete perversion of Section 174 of the Constitution which gives the controlling power to the Attorney-General as far as prosecution is concerned, including economic and financial crimes. And then an ordinary law made by the National Assembly caused all these. It is wrong. The Constitution is supreme to the EFCC Act."

The Patriots chairman then delved at length into the provisions of the EFCC Act, and wondered whether legislators that worked on the law fully grasped the import of their enactment.

"The question of the Attorney-General and the EFCC is the question of the constitution versus EFCC Act. That is what many people don't understand. And I kept asking myself: Were the members of the National Assembly blindfolded at the time they passed this Act into law? I have asked this question on many occasions but they said they were stampeded into passing the law and I have asked many of them and they said they didn't read it before passing. They said they were stampeded and they passed it. So, this goes beyond the Attorney-General and the EFCC.

The constitution cannot be compared with the EFCC Act. There is no basis for that. The EFCC does not exist in the face of the constitution because it is complete departure from the constitution. It is an ordinary law. The constitution is supreme."
On how to resolve the controversy, Professor Nwabueze said that the EFCC is compounding illegality upon illegality.

"The EFCC is illegality upon illegality. That's what it is. First, EFCC is a product of an ordinary law but it has been operating outside its powers.
That is an illegality, but here we have double illegality. The first one is that the powers invested in the commission is ultra vires; it is unconstitutional. The other illegality is that most of what the EFCC does, it has no powers to do."

Challenging the constitutionality of the EFCC is what Ribadu is offended about because he saw it has his source of daily bread and clout being attacked and this was done as far back as 2007 and earlier from d time EFCC was created. Who would want to have the coveted position of Chairman of EFCC taken away because he was occupying an unconstitutional office?

@Bolded

They've given him the APC tablet. .. the PRO-PAN-GADA-Quine. When you take it, you just effortlessly spew gibberish. FYI Mr. Ribadu, there is nothing absolutely wrong if Professor Nwabueze challenges the law setting up the EFCC or the jurisdiction of the EFCC. That is how the legal systems are strengthened. You don't expect uniformity of opinions in a democracy.

Lawyers do their work. Even defend killers caught in the act.

Cadamlk:
I wonder why PMB did not include this guy in his cabinet.

Na turn by turn

Jonathan father of corruption

Mr Ribadu you Don try. Where have you been all the while?

ok nw

No wonder that is why Ben Nwabueze as old as he is, is a staunch critic of Buhari. The same goes for Fayose and FFK, haters of this country...

Cadamlk:

Does Buhari look like someone who has any plan to fix Nigeria ? Buhari just conned all of us period

UNTIL EFCC PROBES PPLE LIKE PETER ODILI, FASH, ALL FORMER GOVERNORS( ESPECIALLY THOSE FROM D NORTH N NIGER DELTA), THEY'RE JUST USELESS AS NUHU.

Good question

basilo102:
So the lawyers will not hustle for their daily bread?? blame your own legal team for incompetence

I now know that the Ribadu speaks from one side of his mouth.
Why single Nwabueze out Is it because he is speaking out against PMB?
Even when there is corruption then why not speak out why wait till now
I like the prof because so far all he has told PMB makes sense.
Prof Nwabueze should be mindful of RIBADU he is out to tarnish his image.
