Soludo Should Be In Jail - Falana

Mr. Femi Falana, has berated the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, for dabbling into politics, saying such development would not have occurred in decent societies. Stating that his reservation against Soludo was borne out of the fact that he joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2006 while still serving as the CBN governor, the human rights lawyer added that the ex-CBN governor deserves to be clamped in jail.

Falana said: “He (Soludo) told everybody that he became a Peoples Democratic Party member in 2006, when he was still the governor of the CBN. So, all along, we had a politician as the CBN governor. In a decent society, Soludo should be in jail by now. If (Lamido) Sanusi had not become governor when he came in, all the banks recently declared as under stress would have gone under by now.”

He spoke at the inauguration of the Ogun State chapter of Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) in Abeokuta, the state capital, at the weekend, where the President of West African Bar Association (WABA), submitted that the AGF’s office, as currently constituted, has been bedevilled with “corruption and indolence.”

Is it a criminal offence for a serving public servant to be a card carrying member of any political party?

I always respect Falana but on this occassion he has failed to quote the necessary sections of the constitution to support his claim like he usually does.

Need  I remind Falana that in the so called decent society he wants to talk about, Sanusi's actions or inactions will be tied to economic outcomes Not emotions based on what sounds radical/revolutionary and what does not.

It is pretty clear that if a Capitalist CBN Governor is replaced by a Socialist CBN Governor, there will be drastic change in policy. What will determine who is right is outcomes and not spin.

All this diatribe about Soludo joining politics is beginning to get at me.
Is it now sin for a sane mind to join politics in Nigeria? Falana should leave all this talk and leave the guy alone.

Please you guys should provide us with verifiable facts, where Soludo joined PDP in 2006.

if anyone had followed my posts on soludo, the person will find out that i have written same.
soludo was a servant to the most high(obj) and now is the reward time hence the people of anambra will be used to compensate his loyality not minding the right to vote for and be voted for.
what obj and pdp is doing in nigeria(denying the citizens their voting rights) is a criminal act.
soludo and morrice iwu are disgrace to the honour of professorship.
why didn't okonjo iweala join pdp and take over her state. she is a good example of proffessionalism and specilization.
most traders here think it is their right to contribute in every topic and thereby expose their ignorance.
there matters of higher standards and over head bridge traders can overlook them.
like falana rightly said, ribadu, el rufai, soludo and other criminals who served and helped obj's high looting regime shld join their colleague (bode george) in prison and that is very simple.

Does Falana really think he has contributed anything to the Nigerian State.
Please Soludo has contributed to the betterment of Nigerians 10 million times more than Falana.
So Mr Falana, zip it!

@chidichris

Soludo did not  say he wants to be governor in your house. He is running for the whole Anamra state.

Please let them decide. We now know where you stand, but you are not the only one for or against.

Those who are not happy with this position have gone to cour. You might as well file your own suit or

ask the court to make you a party to the issue. That is democracy.

Your blindness is even more obvious.
You missed the trip to Nigeria Reality Show. Simple question, if he joined, when, any fact? You prefer to throw unnecessary tantrums about political campaigns.

As far as i'm concerned, Soludo reserves the right to contest any election in Nigeria.

Another kettle calling pot black.
But then, he made a good point as per, how can a member of a rulling party be a governor of the Central bank . . . whose agenda would be be pushing? was he interested in what makes Nigeria aiight or just the agenda of the party that he is a member?

General Sir Richard Dannatt stepped down as the UK Army chief only last month and has already been named as a possible cabinet member should David Cameron win the Next election.

Let alone CBN Governor.

So what are we saying?

I see absolutely nothin wrong in falana's submission, he has the right to express his views. However it does not stop the right of charles to contest for a political office

What crime exactly would that be? I am not a fan of either of them but the facts should be laid out

BUT HE HAS BEEN ROUNDLY CONDEMNED BY POLITICIANS AND OTHERS  IN THE UK, EVEN BY HIS FELLOWS IN THE UK ARMED FORCES!

Tories hiring General Dannatt is 'major error of judgment', says ex-civil service chief

David Cameron's decision to appoint the former head of the Army as a military adviser has been condemned as 'thoroughly reprehensible'.

In a highly unusual step, the former head of the civil service Lord Turnbull told MPs that the Tory leader's appointment of General Sir Richard Dannatt was a 'major error of judgment', which would undermine the neutrality of the Armed Forces.
General Dannatt, pictured, gained a reputation for independence when he publicly criticised the provision of equipment to front line troops.

But critics claim his rapid move into party politics, less than two months after retiring as Chief of the General Staff, undermines his attacks on Government defence policy.
