http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/news/article06/210306Hmnn. My people, make una see the face of a corrupt, corruption fighter. His ilks are rooting for immunity for him, so that his sin, which are many will not be uncovered. They say it's an easy way for him to dump third term.Methink, he'll face the music for all he's done and he's going to dance pretty well.

Ono, You beat me to this one.
I initially thought it was a creation of the media when I saw the headline on the Guardian newpaper website. Obviously not.
If these reports are true, then I have to say Our political leaders are totally shameless. How can one man hold a nation to ransom? Who the hell is Obasanjo that Nigerians have to beg him to leave Aso rock?
If anybody needed proof of Obasanjo's corruption, they've got it. Just when you think we can't sink any lower, this happens.
Abeg, make I leave my fellow Nairalanders to comment on this issue but if anything, this is the height of "misuse of power"
*Spits*

As much as I disapprove of the third term, I don't see what this has to do with Obasanjo. This is an idea developed entirely in the heads of that particular group of senetors. Or is Obansanjo now responsible for what all senetors do and say?

Mai brother Mariory, it's no news again that our bunch of senators are actually rubber stamp lawmakers o. They will dance to any tune as long as you dangle the juicy carrots before them. What with ghana-must-go bags positioned very close to the maces at the national assembly, meant for senators/honorable reps who will approve of OBJs third term?
Throughout the life of OBJs administration, he has been the invisible hand remote-controlling everything that affects our daily life. He's the author of hike in fuel prices, the maker of obnoxious laws and the grand designer of gangsterism. What about intimidation of opponents through the use of state apparatus. He's turned NEPA to PHCN, and we are worse for that.
I believe it's because baba has suddenly realised that there's nowhere to hide with his multitude of sins and that the third term project will not see the light of the day. That's why he's making frantic efforts to get his ilks in the senate(and he's got quite a number of them) to come up with a law that will allow him freedom to move around freely, as another option out of the web he's entangled in.
May the Lord almighty deliver us from our oppressors.

I am already waiting for the next trick these lawmarkers will come up with. Maybe a trip to the Moon for the great,indefatigable Obasanjo. Shameless charlatans !  *hisses* |

I am very much dissapointed, but I am still waiting for President Obasanjo to surprise all of us by making the right decisions for the country. I'm waiting for him to separate himself from these people one day.

Seun,
Don't even try to believe OBJ is not right behind all of these. He can't be seperated from the decisions made at the National Assembly at the moment as that body is only there to ratify from comes from the "Villa".
OBJ will not stand up for Nigerians, because sincerely he has absolutely nothing to gain from that, or does he?

Let them give him Immunity so that he can go come 2007.
Their immunity is human and can not be divine.
Can they provide him immunity from Death and God. This is not possible.
So what is the stress.
Another Govt. and group of legislators will come and do the right thing: remove/ revoke the immunity. He will have to account for his stewardship. It is just a matter of time. It has happeded before and it will happen again. Remember the case of one of the southern Africa country, I can recollect precisely; was it Zambia -- K.K. Kaunda and Chiluba or the case of Chile with their former Head - Pinochet?? . Their immunity were remove after they left office.
So Govt. come Govt. Go, Nigeria still remain.
Just Let us ease OBJ out, since he is afraid of the future. Let him have immunity that can be remove later.

Has this been confirmed?
I wait to confirm.
Only the guilty are afraid.
The grand design or script to enslave Nigeria and have the raiders protected by law is playing itself out if this is true.
Oh God, let this never be true. But if it is May God punish those behind this.

There is nothing like life immunity; that is one of the beauties of democracy.
