Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by desgiezd(m): 9:59pm On Sep 09, 2007 |
It is doubtful if the Federal Attorney General, Michael Aondoakaa, will not mess up the Yar Adua government with the kind of moves he has been making against EFCC since his appointment. Please read the attached story. http://www.saharareporters.com/www/report/detail/?id=402 Just saw this other article this morning and felt I should add it to the first one. http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/articles/reuben-abati/yaradua-the-attorney-general-and-the.html |

The Attorney General is the chosen hit man of the administration - I doubt very much that he is doing all this without Yar Adua's nod. Any attempt to weaken the EFCC will utlimately result in another failed administration, you can't fight corruption by mouth only. The country is a joke! |

Aondoakaa. What a corrupt name full of vowels. This guy is not of any good to the nation. He should be sent to jail. Yar' adua should get rid of him before he wreacks havoc on his government. |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by saintchux(m): 2:05pm On Sep 10, 2007 |
The AGF is doing his job. Yar'Adua believe in the rule of law and the constitution should be followed strictly, no matter the flaws. If Abia high court should ruled that Orji Uzor Kalu should not be arrested, why not challenge the ruling 1st before arresting him. EFCC to the best of my knowledge is doing good work, but it must be done with the law, by obeying court order. With this new administration arrested citizens are now arraigned within 48 hours of arrest, compared to last administration. So I do not think that AGF is doing badly. Rule of law need to be obey no matter how good the intention is. for e'g naira denomination was suspended because due process was not followed. Those of you that are calling AGF names are leaving outside this country. Can EFCC behave this way if they are in US or UK for instance. |

@ Saintchux Try and read this write-up by Femi Falana on this same issue vis-a-vis the AGF's purported rule of law http://www.saharareporters.com/www/news/detail/?id=404 |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by IykeD1(m): 5:55pm On Sep 10, 2007 |
Great, since we are harping on "rule of law" so much, Yar Adua need to resign immediately as the process that brought him to office did not follow the rule of law, he has acknowledged so himself. In that same regard, the appointment of the AGF is null & void for the same reason given earlier for Yar Adua, no? Where and when does rule of law begins? Who gets to choose when its in the best interest of the country? Is the EFCC crossing "t's" and dotting "i's" more important than bringing these looters to justice? Is the AGF not aware that the same Kalu we are talking about had recently asked the court to permit him travel to the US for a life threating surgery that his wife was about to undergo most especially when he being the next of kin has to sign off on that? Was the AGF not aware that this was completely false and an attempt for Kalu to become a fugitive? At the rate we are going and if unchecked, the AGF may ultimately achieve his aim of de-fanging the EFCC as every dick and harry may get an order "immunizing" them from arrests before they begin the actual act of looting. Maybe if they loot enough, there might not even be enough money left to fund the court systems, but hey, it will still be okay as we are all about the rule of law. . . |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by McKren(m): 8:29pm On Sep 10, 2007 |
Sorry for Nigeria Only last month this same AGF was telling us how the FG will have difficulties implementing court orders intending to remove a Governor that is hastily reached. God knows why the "rule of law will not be obeyed on this occassion" (I guess he holds that position because it is in the interest of the rich). And God knows which court orders are hasty and which are not. Orji Kalu is practically re-writing the 1999 Constitution through the back door by giving immunity from arrest and prosecution to himself an EX-Governor when the actual 1999 constitution only gives immunity to sitting Governors. I can only be ashamed that our Attorney General prefers to uphold that though not suprised as I will not expect anything else from a man who spent the last 4years defending those who have been on the wrong side of the war against corruption. Micheal Aondoakaa may find 1001 legal backings for his actions but he is still not doing his job and I have no doubt in mind that one day this reality will steer us all in the face and Micheal will have to explain his countribution to history. The Constitution demands that the AGF should at all times act "in the interest of the public" and someday he will explain to us if in a country like Nigeria where there are poor road networks, poor electricity, poor schools, poor hospitals etc. as a result of corruption what is more in the interest of the public is to bury the Anti-Corruption war in bureaucracy or to the support it to yield positive results. Finally I believe as long as Micheal Aondoakaa is in President Yaradua's cabinet he is simply the President's hatchet man and thus doing his dirty jobs. |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by McKren(m): 9:12pm On Sep 10, 2007 |
I will personally not take Yaradua seriously until Micheal Aondoakaa goes, and I also agree with Femi Falana who says President Yaradua should kindly and openly drop all charges against his colleagues than playing on the intelligence of Nigerians. |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by presido1: 9:42pm On Sep 10, 2007 |
McKren:If EFCC is doing their work in the right way, why have they not arrested all those involved in putting our road network, hospitals, schools and electricity in their poor state. Oviously i do not know who is fulling who in Nigeria. Orji is corrupt and so is OBJ(fed rd in bad condition, electricity at its worst) and other state governors(respective state rds in bad condition) why then are they still free in nigerian when all of them are suppose to be behind bars, for awarding contracts that was not executed yet the contractors were paid. We keep on contracdicting ourselves every now and then. |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by IykeD1(m): 11:27pm On Sep 10, 2007 |
So what's your point? That since OBJ and his closest friends are not arrested the EFCC should cease work? If that's the case, then let the AGF come out and say so publicly instead of this rule of law crap that is being spat all over place. |

Iyke-D:Have you forgotten that when something is done anyhow its never done well. Yaradua was selected as our president so what do u expect. If he is sincere to fight corruption in Nigeria he will start from himself, then those that imposed him on all of us(OBJ and Co). If that is not done my brother we will be writting till eternity and beleive me his administration will going from one problem t another until he finish his tenure. EFCC is not but a tool being used by OBJ beleive it or not. How can AGF come out and say so, have u forgotten the word DIPLOMACY that is what they are using but you refused to understand. |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by IykeD1(m): 11:34pm On Sep 11, 2007 |
Oh - and I suppose it was OBJ's and the EFCC's fault that the respective state's treasuries were looted. I know, its that failed 3rd term bid. . . I am not sure if I understand you, but are you saying that Yar Adua had no real intention of fighting corruption? |

Iyke - D, i like your points and i do hope u will be a good listener. in the first place, yar adua came to power through the wrong means, then the next question will be by who? and we all know the answer-obj. if my answer is the same with urs then he (obj) is corrupt and to the the highest order. let us be realistic here, i have not come across anyone saying let kalu or anyother leader go away with his loots but what we are saying is we have 36 states which means 36 govs or more so why is kalu's case the most important thing in nigeria? we had a lot of federal contracts that run into billions paid for and were not attended to till date yet we over look them and talk about kalu and 3 billion belonging to the same state where the court has ordered that he shld not be arrested. my brother, are u aware of the revenues of states like lagos and rivers among others? what new projects took place to justify the use of these funds in the past eight years? we all witnessed the drama of atiku who confessed to a crime and named his partners in the crime but what is his situation till date? may i remind you that pdp is still finding a way to make peace with him in other to bring him back to pdp and thereby let go all those issues. it calls for suspicion here that abia state which is a meager part of nigeria has overtaken all our insecurities, bad roads, lack of power supply, poor education, lack of medical facilities and above all the day light robery of the citizenry of their voting rights. what is the moral back up of leaving the constitution of nigeria to follow the dictates of Nuhu Ribadu? we are surposed to be giant of africa but how come the wisdom of a man is overtaking the nation overnight and to worsen it all we are all aware of the invincible hands of support from the self aclaimed messaih of nigeria. one has no other reason for all these mess apart from the fact that the young man is an outspoken type and had in the past pointed accusing fingers to all the killers in pdp and they are out to mess him up. if we call kalu corrupt, what name are we going to give the man caught in usa over money laundary via presidential jet? remember ribadu called that a civil case, is that not madness? what name are we calling the man who over threw an elected gov and held the whole state to ramsome and went as far as confessing to rigging a state election? remember he was rewarded with the position of board of trustee-pdp what name are we going to call the hitman in oyo who obj has confirmed too old to be reformed? have u heard such in your life? the man who has right to own inec machines. what attention are we giving to a president who told his fellowers that an election will be a do or die affair? no wonder our roads are full of robbers operating with mega machines as an after effect of election thugry a situation which have brought our security agents below abilities of the robbers no wonder robery incidents can last on an express way for 3-5 hours without any form of intruption. nigeria is a joke. alams was impeached under a heavy waiting security agents of efcc which means pre-arranged. his impeachment saw goodluck in and further ascend to vp what a shamble? nollywood has been reduced by the pdp dramas. we are surposed to be sick of kalu this, kalu that. it is obvious that nothing will happen to madam speaker for her n628 million renovation project in a country where there is no light, no roads, no national airline, no nothing. how come vessels siezed by gov will vanish overnight maybe we will ask our honourable criminal kalu for he the only man we know. i am from imo state and do not have anything in common with kalu but his case i know has nothing to be compared to things that are happening in nigeria. a real war on corruption will start from aso rock and that will send a signal to the other minors because we all know that action speaks lauder than Ribdu's words. we all know that an efcc touch on one of the big wigs will surely take us to the promise land that is if for sure we want to be there. kalu and tauraki can never be our problems as ribadu has left the objects for shadows and that is just his decieving tactice designed to allow obj and his partners to digest their loots. how come abacha was probed and ibb is a decission maker? that is Bleep |

Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by presido1: 9:40am On Sep 12, 2007 |
McKren:I beleive i see things in the same way that chidicris sees it and that is the only way a right thinking Nigerian will see it. Kalu's case is not a Nigerian case rather a state case. I am not standing for anybody because all their mess in Nigeria affects all of us(Chidicris, mamajama, Afam, mcren, presido). What am saying is if we are claiming of fighting corruption let us fight it and get everybody involved in coruption to justice. Our last election was an epitome of corruption but the corruption fighters have not said a single word about it. What have they done about Chris Uba, Andy Uba, Atiku(Fed corruption which effects all of us) Touraki, Adedebu,Ehidaro, and others, why is kalus case so important that Ribadu wants to put his head to jail him. My brothers it will come to nothing as they all know themselves and know what they all do and what is that they all know and do[b] CORRUPTION[/b]. Mcren you leave in Wolves, do anybody in your neighbourhood use Generator to generate electricity, have you ever seen a pot hole in any of the road network in wolves, have you ever complained of no running water were u leave. i beleive the ansa is capital NO. Whos duty is it to provide these aminities to the citizen in a Fed system of Govt, please ansa these and why are all these lacking in your home country your input is needed as well. Ok you are from Imo state and so do I, is our state more organised than Abia, is our former Gorv not corrupt, he is from the same local govt with me beleive me or not he did nothing compared to amount of federal Allocation he gets monthly.(They should bring all of them to justice(OBJ and Atiku included) so that the present once will sit up. Is kalu responsible for federal pension that has remain unpaid for years, do you like the suffering of those pensioners maybe yes thats why your OBJ is a saint. He is and did impose a saint on us as well and you are now complaining of Yaradua and EFCC. The bottom line is we will remain stagnant as a nation if we choose this direction we are going. |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by McKren(m): 9:48am On Sep 12, 2007 |
EFCC apologises to Attorney-General over Kalu Another exit strategy, EFCC appologised God knows how a Minister who wrote letter to EFCC copy copy the Media demanding appology, will accept a covert Oral apology that was not broadcast in the media. If EFCC deems it fit to appologise to Micheal Aondoakaa I dont think we should be hearing it from the Justice Minister himself, the agency would have done it publicly. Who is fooling who? Micheal Aondoakaa should be man enough to appologise to EFCC and Nigerians if they still want to fight corruption or better still alongside the President grant amnesty to all ex-looters. |

Issues like prison conditions and the likes are some of what one will expect to be atop of the agenda of the reformist "Chief Law officer", but alas, its the "heavy handed" EFCC that seems to matter the most. I am still waiting for a press conference from the AGF, at least you will think if about 40 inmates were massacred while attempting to escape, something must really be wrong with the system, right? Did the rights of these inmates matter to the AGF at all? |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by desgiezd(m): 9:33am On Sep 13, 2007 |
McKren: To butress your point, McKren, EFCC did not apologise to the AGF afterall. The story is carried by The Punch Newspapers of today, link provided below. I think the man is just a loud-mouth and he is a man Nigerians should watch very well. Why should he be carrying on as if his main job in this administration is to bring EFCC down? If he wants EFCC to follow the "rule of law" in its dealings there are better and more civilised ways of doing it. http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art200709131465545 |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by saintchux(m): 2:30pm On Sep 14, 2007 |
Sentiment apart. We know that all these former governor sucked Nigeria dry, likewise OBJ, but we have to follow due process and rule of law in prosecuting them. For instance in Madam speaker financial scandal, the reason given for not following due process is because of the urgency of the job, that is what is happening all the time. EFCC want to do everything faster, thereby not following due process. We have seen alot of thing that were reverse because due process were not followed. It is the samething that is happening to Kalu/EFCC. Why can't someone challenge the Abia high court verdict? I am not against EFCC in their fight against corruption, my only concern is following due process and rule of law. I believe that if EFCC follow due process thing will work well. It will take time, but we will truimph. |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by Mamajama(m): 2:59pm On Sep 14, 2007 |
Due process is not an option in Nigerian. 1st we don't have credible and outstanding laws in Nigerian. We have been trying to follow due process for decades and we still can't bring IBB to justice for all his atrocities. The ATG commets are silly. you don't go out criticizing the government that your are part of. it's simply stupid. |

The election has come and gone, shall we take up gun and matchet to push Yar'Adua out of Aso rock? No. We have to follow what the law say, by going to tribunal, whatever they say we take. As for IBB, God dey. One day Pharoh that does not know Joseph will come. |

Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by McKren(m): 6:18pm On Sep 14, 2007 |
How dificult is this to understand, EFCC acted within the confines of the Law. The court in Abia State did not say that Kalu should not be prosecuted if their is a legal basis to do that as that will amount to a law court given a citizen right to Lawlessness. The court order only suggests that Kalu's Fundamental human right should be respected as provided in the constitution, but the fact remains that when you are involved in a criminal case you will be arrested and prosecuted if need be. So when people talk of due process and no due process it is important we look at the nitty gritty. EFCC did not disobey any court order!!!!!!!!!! Subversion of the Rule of Law-Femi Falana |
Re: Federal Attorney General, Micheal Aondoakaa, May Mess Up Yar Adua by chidichris(m): 10:11pm On Sep 14, 2007 |
mckren, what is criminal case pls? how do u clasify the case of money laundary committed by andy uba in the usa? have you ever asked yourself what happened to the taiku's case after the april polls? if efcc is not a tool how come they stopped puursuing the atiku case after the april polls. they were just there to disrupt atiku on the presidential election. in a normal constitution, 48 hours will be enough to charge someone officially beforew a law court. do u know how many people dying both innocent and guilt in our detentions? we are not making use of the constitution because ribadu and his boss can say who will be detained and who will be set free not minding the constitutional rights of the individuals. it is a shame on a country so if yar adua will appoint another person tomorrow, he will come with his own excess powers to punish people who insulted him while they were in primary school. we are not here to fool ourselves. |
