Which kind Wahala Farouk come put himself into now...Kai!

mr_man:
Care to expantiate on that?

The whole politics began in the middle of the investigation and the poor Farouk decided to trade integrity for dollars(SET UP). Believe me, it is all politics!

freeman191:
so are we saying that if farouk had shared the money with them, they would have covered him up, but the only crime he committed in their eyes is that he chopped it alone without telling them, what a country.

As funny as it sounds, believe me that's their only annoyance with Farouk Lawan.

They felt sidelined and betrayed by him taking a whooping $620,000 and not even bothering to share 1/10 of it.

If the money had gone round, those use*less pot bellied old rogues would have deffended Farouk Lawan with their last blood.

Money is the ONLY uniting and seperating factor amongst these greedy politicians. Not the interest of the People or the love of the Country.

Money! Money!! Money!!! Is the only reason they wake up and go to Government House, National and State Assemblies, Ministries, Government Parastatals and Aso Rock every morning. They are not concerned in developing Nigeria or the lives of Nigerians, they are only there to keep enriching themselves.


One day one day sha, Account go dry. Money go finish, Nigeria go be like Greece. Then and Only then will the poor fat that feeding fat on the so called 'Big Man'. Then they will realize the damage they have done to this nation. They will neither have a safe abode nor rest of mind as even their police orderlies will gun them down and snatch away the little peanuts they can lay their hands on to keep their families surviving for a few days.


Funny as it might sound, we are approaching the Horror and disheartening moment in this country. Except these men put their fingers check and stop looting but rather start impacting positivity in the lives of the citizens, Nigeria is fast heading for disaster.

And it was also a setup for him to stuff his CAP with dollar bills after all his other pockets were filled up to the brim.

Is sense actually common in the real sence of it? Because one can't just keep wondering why people will deffend others blindly even at the obvious glaring facts?

Mallamabdul: The guy that mentioned GEJs' name on this recall issue should be banned from making comments, you don't just wake up in the morning cause you can type and post comments here freely,and end up talking trash. Am sure that you don't even read the dailies left alone watch the news broadcast. What does recalling a member of a house got to the with GEJ, is he from Kano state or is he a member of the house. My friend ,try thinking before blabbing at least that would help you.
You are one of those, who go about with fake news and rubbish comments and yet you don't have anything to contribute.

Pls tell them. Some people, out of sentiment and hatred for Gej will not border to read any post before commenting. Gej name has turned to salt and pepper in their mouth.

Farouk Lawan is nothing but a thief.In fact like d british prosecutor in Iboris case said all the house members are common thieves who are occupying the federal legislature. Looking at the case closely one will know that he did not act alone.The house leadership was to benefit in d slush money.The house is never interested in fighting corruption.They are only interested in fighting Jonathan. Many of them including d ACN members are still angry with jonathan over the 10billion naira loan dat Bankole collected and shared to all of them.The more d case is in court d more complicit they are The ACN members did not reject the slush funds then.

nuclearboy:

And what if GEJ is found culpable in any "theft"? Will your voice still suppot his impeachment or "recall"?

Cos what's good for the goose....

AM STILL BAFFLED BY HOW 'ANY' SILLY DISCUSSION IN THIS PLACE FINDS WAY OF ROPING GEJ AS IF THE MAN HAS A MAGIC WAND. IT IS A FOOL THAT COMES AROUND TO BLAME THE PRESIDENT FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO HIM. EVEN IF HE HAD CONSTIPATION LAST NIGHT, HE WILL FIND A WAY TO BLAME THE LEADERSHIP. AGREED, THEY HAVE THEIR FAULT(JUST LIKE YOU HAVE YOURS) BUT THAT SHOULDN'T MAKE HIM AN EASY PICK.ONLY SMALL PEOPLE CONFINE THEIR THINKING WITHIN BOX.

.GBAM!

who cares

The beautiful thing about this saga is that it will change Nigeria for good. I have always said that the executive is not the problem of Nigeria. While they are very corrupt, the real problem are the institutions that are supposed to check them. The problem of Nigeria is that checks and balances don't exist. That is why I lay the blame of Nigeria's woes on three key institutions: the legislature, judiciary and the press. As long as these 3 independent institutions don't do their job and are laden with corruption, nothing will change.

There is corruption all over europe and America, but the legislature, judiciary and press are what keeps the system in check and ensure things do go out of hand. In Nigeria, these institutions are, unfortunately, worse than the executive. So let these things continue to happen to the Judiciary and legislature and we can then hope that the result will be a more credible check and balance machinery that will help take the nation out of its travails.

onomeasike: while tribune newspaper works for them in the south,leadership newspaper works for them in the north.Bunch of blood suckers,their ingenuity and destiny is to bring ruin to Nigeria.Reno Omokri aka beaf who was at the meeting where they agree to write their evil propaganda and publish in both tribune and leadership will now copy and paste it on nairaland for broadcast here and all other social media as the presidential adviser on social media.He keeps at it until they find another evil agenda.Now it is project Tambuwal must go since the man is a threat to his master`s 2015 ambition to saddle nigerians with another round of perfidious leadership.
nairalanders shine your eyes,they hope that by feeding you lies consistently they will divert attention from their evil machinations.For me oh,I will keep reminding him that he and his generations will find no rest.They are all bunch of self-seeking unpatriotic agents of satan!
Your own generation of omokris will remain cursed forever because you and ur principals have brought hardship on nigerians

Bros!,piece of advice,stay away from hard drugs

Billyonaire: Farouk Lawan has to be recalled and thrown into jail, and for those spewing bull about GEJ wanting Tambuwal gone because of 2015 ambition, I think you need to get your heads examined, is Tambuwal INEC chairman ? You need to look at the lawless north critically, this issue is not just a Boko Haram affair, there is totally lack of leadership up North, the states government and local governments are not functioning other than share the handouts from ABJ, its a systemic failure of the abokis, the arab blood in them is manifesting.

Must you let everyone know that you are a newbie here on nairaland, why should you allow your hand to do the thinking...Mtchwwweee

For those who do not know; recalling a rep means sacking the blighter. You collect signatures and send off to INEC to kick off the process.
It is power to the people.
[size=14pt]Yes you can sack your rep.[/size]

~Bluetooth:

That dunderhead would have resigned and be prosecuted in a normal clime.I just hope recalling him is not an attempt to sweep the case under the carpet.

the subsidy probe report is as good as dead,its only a miracle can revive it now,just wait till the dusts raised by FL and Ote$ goes down.

Beaf: It is quite clear that some NLers are stark raving mad.
Anyways, make I face topic jare!



I don't think finding the money should stop the man from being recalled. In fact, at least 80% of the members across all parties need to be recalled.

By the dictate of the constitution, those people are meant to represent the people at the grassroots. But how many of us can point to a rep that represents the interests of our town or village? How many of us can point to a rep we can visit and discuss local issues with, in the hope that they will be our voice at the national level?

We need to change the way things are done in this country and that can only be done by energising the grassroots.

How do you energise the grassroot when most MP rigged their way through elections by way of endorsement by party leaders & god-fatherism. Who among our so called representatives truelly won his/her elections? They were imposed on the people. Even if you bring in new sets of legislators, that cankerworm call corruptiom will always flow in them. Our laws should be strengthened so that whoever is indicted for act of corruption should be tried, if found guilty (in nigeria court?) jailed or killed, otherwise, (your guess is as good as mine). May God save nigeria.

Dude, why don't you forget about PDP and realise that the power to force favourable outcomes is withing your hands? The people organising the attempt to sack Lawan are CPC and ANPP guys as the article clearly says.
If they can do it, why not us? Its time to pick ourselves up and fight for what is right for this country.

Beaf: [size=14pt]Nigeria: U.S.$3 Million Bribery Scandal - Constituents Move to Recall Farouk Lawan[/size]
By Chika Otuchikere, Shuaib Shuaib, and Salisu Ibrahim, 17 June 2012

Embattled member of the House of Representatives Hon. Farouk Lawan is facing a fresh battle from his constituents over his alleged involvement in the $3 million bribery scandal rocking the House: some of his constituents are plotting to initiate his recall from the House.

The lawmaker was released on bail yesterday after two days of incarceration by the Nigeria Police Force over his involvement in the bribery scandal.

However, investigations by LEADERSHIP SUNDAY in the lawmaker's constituency of Shanono/Bagwai federal constituency of Kano State showed that some of his constituents had already commenced the compilation of signatures for onward transmission to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the representative's recall.

LEADERSHIP SUNDAY investigations also revealed why the leadership of the House of Representatives 'sacrificed' the embattled lawmaker during their emergency session on Friday.

Hon. Lawan was removed as the chairman of the ad-hoc committee on the petroleum subsidy and chairman, House Committee on Education.

It was learnt that the leadership of the House took that decision because Hon. Lawan failed to confide in them nor did he carry the members of his committee along all through his transactions in the alleged scandal.

"Hon. Lawan did not carry any of his colleagues along in what transpired. We cannot vouch for him. We are not even sure whether he is with us or with the executive arm of government. Let him sort himself out. The credibility of the whole House cannot be called into question because of the alleged act of one member," a source in the House said.

This is even as politicians in the opposition Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP)are taking full advantage of Lawan's travails and are seeking signatories from his Shanono/Bagwai federal constituency for a petition to begin the process of his recall.

Some of the politicians who spoke with our correspondent in Kano said that Farouk's action has portrayed Kano State in bad light, even though it has been one of the leading progressive states that has been advancing the cause of the common man in the area of politics for a very long time.

A former House of Representatives aspirant of the Congress for Progressive Change [CPC] for Fagge constituency in the last general election, Shuaibu Abubakar Fagge, condemned the action of the lawmaker and hailed the action of the legislators that suspended him from the chairmanship of the committee, saying that what the House did was "in order, proper and followed the due process of the law".

Abubakar, however, subscribed to the commencement of recall process of the lawmaker to allow easy flow of investigation into the matter since, according to him, Farouk's action has exposed how PDP has been thriving on illegality and giving democracy a bad name.

"Farouk should be recalled, then prosecuted in order to face the consequence of his action," Abubakar said.

He called for a thorough probe into the bribery scandal because, "Nigerians will love to see how the lawmaker that has been presenting himself as leader of the Integrity Group will stoop so low to demand for a bribe. Let the whole truth come out and everyone involved in the bribery scandal identified and their names made public," he said.

According to him, the law is very clear that whoever is facing serious allegation of fraudulent practice has to give way and allow the law to take its course. "That's why I hailed what the House did by first suspending him from the chairmanship position he held, now he should be prosecuted," he added.

Secretary of the ANPP, Alhaji Rabi'u Bako said that Farouk's action has demonstrated how PDP has been responsible for corrupt practices in the country since the return of democracy in the country in 1999.

"It is evident that Farouk did not win the last election. That has been the case with him in all the elections he contested in the past. He'd not win, but he would be declared winner through illegal means. Now he has sown a seed and is reaping the fruits of what he sowed," Bako said.

The ANPP scribe, wanted immediate recall of the lawmaker, while the INEC holds a fresh election to fill in the vacant position, as the police arrange for his prosecution before a court of law for him to defend himself before the court.

However, Alhaji Ali Kakako Commander, one of the PDP leaders in Bagwai, said that the lawmaker is on his own, as far as the allegation of bribery is concerned, since his people did not send him to the House to promote illegality.

Commander said that even though Lawan has been outspoken in the House, his constituency has suffered a great deal since there had been no dividend of democracy in the area in the last 13 years.

"We have not started feeling his impact as our representative from this local government. He has only been good to himself and he has been accused of corrupt practice, so let him defend himself. When you talk of quality representative one can say he is good, but with what happened now, I think he was just a self-serving man," he said.

Meanwhile, the embattled lawmaker was yesterday released from police custody after two days in detention over his role in the $3million bribery scandal that engulfed the ad-hoc committee that investigated the fuel subsidy regime which he chaired.

He was granted bail yesterday afternoon after meeting bail conditions imposed by the police. The lawmaker, however, is to report at the police station on a daily basis while the investigation lasted.

Deputy force public relations officer, CSP Frank Mba, confirmed his release in a telephone chat with our correspondent. He said that the lawmaker may be prosecuted, depending on the outcome of their investigation. He refused to disclose the bail conditions.

Is your real name Reno Omokri ?

Funkymallam:

And u think recalling him wont help d masses? Smh

do u knw d meaning of recalling a rep?

A representative is put into office by voters from his constituency. When those voters are unhappy with their representative's performance, they may call for a recall. It's a long and difficult process and there are certain steps that need to be followed to recall a representative. You can scratch your head further. Now tell me how his recall will help the people when PDP will replace himwith another thief. The guy is just being punish for something

Beaf: Even though this is the opposition parties playing opportunistic politics, this is exactly what we should all be doing to any reps that simply go to the house to say "aye" whenever bribes, loot and moral depravity are floating around.

this is exactly what we should not be doing.we should not be pre-empting the law enforcement agencies and the court.we should mot jump the gun and pronounce the man guilty when the legally empowered bodies havent done so.besides recalling a lawmaker isnt as easy as it sounds.grounds have to established,referendums have to be done,and some other steps.for now,i take a siddon look posture in epectation that the law enforcement bodies do their job.as it seems,the executive seems to be tacitly backing otedola otherwise we all know this news will never have surfaced that means we might not see a situation where lawan tries to influence investigation or proceedings

No point answering the PDP hacks here! I know if truth hits most of you with a sledge hammer, u wouldn't recognize it!

But what's happened here will still show up one day soon when files currently hidden will be exposed and then we'll see if truly, all thieves are thieves

check45: Farouk Lawan is nothing but a thief.In fact like d british prosecutor in Iboris case said all the house members are common thieves who are occupying the federal legislature. Looking at the case closely one will know that he did not act alone.The house leadership was to benefit in d slush money.The house is never interested in fighting corruption.They are only interested in fighting Jonathan. Many of them including d ACN members are still angry with jonathan over the 10billion naira loan dat Bankole collected and shared to all of them.The more d case is in court d more complicit they are The ACN members did not reject the slush funds then.

you are either totally ignorant or more of a conspiracy theorist than Dan Brown.do you people even realise the amount involved?$620,000.thats one of the reasons an curious.otedola could have afforded to give the $3million once.why breaking it into small pieces?if indeed the SSS was involved in a sting operation with otedola,were they the ones that asked him to make it multiple instalments?were they involved right from the beginning?if yes,does that mean the instalments were all marked notes?there are more questions than answer so its preposterous for some to start calling for the recall of Lawan even where many questions remain unanswered

onomeasike: Reno Omokri a.k.a (beaf= [b]B[/b]e [b]E[/b]vil [b]A[/b]nd [b]F[/b]amous.

we know you are doing your job as the presidential adviser on social media.While you are at work promoting GEJ`s interest protected by Diezani ,pls remember your action will bring curse on your generations of omokris.
Farouk Lawan and all of you have murdered sleep,sorrow will be your lot says the law of sowing and reaping!God will not be mocked.

Son, you need to stop right there. What's your fascination with BEAF? And what's wrong with his post? Mr Farouk was caught RED-HANDED committing a criminal offense. I equally support not only the proposed recall of that crook, but his arrest and prosecution.

GEJ and his executhieves have succeeded in diverting nigerians' attention and anger away from subsidy scam thereby making the looting to continue unabated. Using 90 million naira bribery saga to kill 2.58 trillion naira scam. What a country. Very very sad. Will Farouk be recalled? I don't think so. It has never happened before even though we have seen a man who spent 2.58 trillion naira on subsidy instead of 245 billion naira never asked to explain how come. He has never been considered for passing a vote of no confidence.

Seconded.
