Ribadu Fired!

Some of us missed the point about TENURE even if u have 10 year tenure of office, the person that appointed you has the exclusive right to remove you. whether he/she has a good reason to do that is another story. Yaradua has the right to remove whoever he appointed or as the act establishing EFCC may stipulates, but I am still of the opinion that there are many Nigerians who will perform better than Ribadu at least he has laid a foundation.

RIbadu has nothing to say but to comply.  people do not forget the IGP is answerable to the president.  OKIRO is only doing what he has been directed to do by MR GO SLOW YAR ADUA.

I strongly think this move will benefit Ribadu in the long run.  There are seven AIG in the Nigerian police force whom all have seniority over RIBADU and have all been to this school in JOS.  

To elevate RIBADU to the RANK of IGP in future his adversaries will have no grounds to base their arguments that he has never been to a mandatory course for senior police officers.

SOLOMON ARASE is replacement his a fine officer.  I know him personally but he is not RIBADU

If I was Ribadu, I would hand in my polic resignation and then proceed with the EFCC work, the President should then openly come out and fire me from EFCC, since  them talk say Police and EFCC no get connection.

You can't predict the politics of appointing an IGP. Ribadu could be given the Ogbonna Onovo treatment. And I don't think their is anything like heir to the throne in any Government appointment.

I thought we were operating under rule of law?

The law requires him to sack EFCC boss if he so wish, the law did not say he should delegate the right to sack the EFCC boss to the IGP.

Except you are telling me that the President has the right to implement laws not yet passed by the NASS.

If the NASS wakes up to its duties, this move will be reveresed watch out!!!!

IGP was only carrying out President's instruction being Ribadu's boss. Public Trust -I don't think is in Ribadu I do know my trust is not in him at all. I respect him for what he has done for the country and I think history will be kind to him if he has done all he did honestly. The trust you talk about may be in the institution called EFCC. It is still alive and I think we will get there. I advice that we should be patient a bit to know the reasons why Ribadu is being shown the way out, we may be suprised after all.

don't forget ribadu is a police man, he still collects his salary from the police he only collects allowances at efcc, so the igp is still his boss, if administrative instructions are to be given to him as regards his police profession it must pass through the igp.

I said it before, and I now reiterate. Yar'Adua is a puppet and a continuation of Obasanjo double speak on official corruption. Go after perceived enemies, while playing eye service and slaping thieving friends in the back of the hand.

PDP, Yar'Adua and Aaondoaka are finally showing Nigerians their true colors and playing true to form. the war on corruption is only for enemies, not the real culprits.
By getting rid of Ribadu (the recalcitrant police officer) and repalcing him with a more maleable yes-man, Odili and company can start to enjoy their stolen loot. Nigeria and Nigerians again get the shaft up their overstretched butts!!!!!!!!

If one man can single handedly appoint Ribadu as EFCC chairman i don't think we need referandum or whatever to remove him.
I think he is part of the plot that removed him from EfCC office. As a corruption fighter, he did not outer a word when Yaradua was selected as our president by his former boss, now he want to complain that he was selectively removed. He then thought that the presidential selection will not effect him in any way. The fingers that he wrongly fed is bitting him now. I think this is the beggining. For every dark cloud lies the sun. Their must be a reason for removing him. Its about time we know good or the bad intention of sending him to Jos.
I strongly beleive that if he cannot Investigate the likes of IBB, ATIKU, OBJ, the last presidential selection and others he need not to be there.

@ Bankole you beat me to it, so EFCC is now the election tribunal? Intelectual depth? Zero

Presidential Selection amounts to Electorial fraud correct me if am wrong. When the electorial fraud emanates from the incubent president and Governors federal and state funds must be involved. As we all know the funds spent towards the election rigging was not meant for it(Rigging) hence the fund has been misappropriated. If they (EFCC) don't investigate misappropriation of Goverment/Public fund i wonder why Kalu and Co are being charged. You guys should read to understand and not just to read find fault where there is non.
Buleti and Mcren it will interest both of you to check this link. http://www.efccnigeria.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=871&Itemid=43

When you must have done that let me know if Electorial Fraud is part of Good Governance.

EFCC, very reckless and uncaring. Today, they are the main reason why many around the world view all Nigerians as criminals.
Their mission was always blurry and didn't give a shi t about the future and image of Nigeria around the world.

We must always crave and embrace doing the right thing the right way; not doing the right thing the wrong way!

If indeed the problem is with Ribadu's performance, why not announce to the nation that he is being
fired for non-performance rather than the lies and deceit about some bullshit course that is yet to
produce any meaningful result for the country.

As you put it, do you reward someone that facilitates election rigging with attending a "strategic course"
or do you fire and prosecute them? No need to answer, because I know we do the opposite of everything
in Nigeria.

Correction: Ribadu was not fired; in fact, I was told that he's very happy with this latest development. He wanted it to be this way.
I also heard that he might be seeking for a position with UN.

Confirmed!

Nonsense! Ribadu showed IBB his 'pimp' hand that's why IBB got scared and  backed down from his ambition.


You're blowing smoke out of your ass. Were you not the one campagning here for IBB. Were you not the one saying stuff like ooooo Ibb has changed, Ibb wants to rectify his past deeds, let IBB come in and fix it e.t.c. Was it not IBB that went to register his intention to run with his entourage of shamless theives?
