The mercy of God keeps at you until your mess becomes messy enough to make mercy channelled in your direction messy!

Repentance and restitution by all concerned is key. Beats one hollow to imagine what sort of sermons their Pastors preach to them when they have their bowed beneath The Pulpit.

The question is, can he be charged for electoral fraud even as an incumbent governor? That is the question Femi Falana tried to answer and I think I agree with his argument. If governors can be charged to court to defend their election, then, it's logical to say they can be charged for electoral fraud irrespective of the immunity clause.
not when the Supreme Court has had a say In the same issue

I beg to disagree. Fayose guber election has been laid to rest at the supreme court.

As for those who still believed Fayose rigged, I say they are on a long thing cos should that election be conducted again with Tinubu or Buhari as candidates it will still be a landslide for oshokomole.

The undeniable fact: Fayose is a grassroot politician, very popular and acceptable to his people.

I beg to really INFORM you further...

A Court can over-rule ITSELF........ "IF AND WHEN" NEW EVIDENCE nullifying its earlier position, are brought to life.

Ask Lawyers of repute, if you doubt this.
That is exactly what Falana (SAN) was saying up there.

1.) That investigation's report, with all the accompanying evidence will be placed before that court....it will examine it and then "over-rule itself".
2.)INEC would then vacate Fayose's Governorship post and withdraw his Certificate of return.
3.) He then loses his immunity
4.)Fayose will then be arrested and prosecuted.... based on same evidence.

With the level of "detail" in that evidence..and one Principal accomplice who has come forward and is ready to "sacrifice" his own personal Liberty for that sole purpose (and thereby acting as a State Witness) and the level of "hubris" that Fayose himself has "defecated"....

Anyone that thinks Fayose can still escape this one, is living in a fool's paradise!
AYO FAYOSE IS A GONER.... and it wont be the first time anyway! grin grin

I can't believe that Falana of all people says that any Governor at all including Fayose can be prosecuted while still in office and protected by the Constitutional immunity clause. Anyway, he did not refer to any Section of the Constitution or other law or any Judicial precedent where such a thing has ever happened. It is astonishing what partisanship can do to an otherwise brilliant Lawyer. Or maybe it is arrogance which leads him to think he can just open his mouth, say whatever catches his fancy and bamboozle the public. Smh

ALWAYS READ the story FIRST...before responding, Haaba!
Please Dont spew so much ignorance in public.

I have helped you to highlight the parts concerned sha. undecided

When asked whether Fayose can be prosecuted if indicted despite the immunity he enjoys as a governor, he said, “There is no immunity for impunity as far as electoral malfeasance is concerned. In the cases of Obi v Mbakwe, Alliance for Democracy v Ayo Fayose and Amaechi v INEC it has been established that governors cannot hide under the immunity clause to commit electoral fraud.

“By the strict interpretation of section 308 of the Constitution no court process can be issued or served on a governor. But because immunity cannot be pleaded or invoked to cover electoral fraud, elected governors are served with court processes and dragged to court to respond to allegations of electoral malpractice.”

Some of you have comprehension problems and l wont be surprised if you still come back to say you did not see it! grin grin

Are you cocksure he said so? Hmmmm!
My drift was to emphasise the need for preaching to hit hard at the barely concealed malfeasance of our politicians who visit places of worship as a matter of duty maybe. They might just repent.
The failure to do so does not necessarily make the preachers"fake" as you say. It could make them appear less responsible to God who someday will hold them accountable for the grace they received while in the collar.

Falana is partisan, this makes a lawyer of his stature a disgrace. He is talking about how to prosecute a sitting gov that has some sort of immunity but has kept quiet about a Minister who has no form of immunity.

If he is serious about being a human rights lawyer and someone who truly wants any corrupt gov official to face the law, which is easier to prosecute between Fayose and Amaechi?

He might have to wait until Fayose has no immunity, Amaechi has non now, why is he not pushing to fet him prosecuted.

The article was about Falana answering questions. He did not come out to make declarations. What he spoke about is highly educating.

Is Fayose protected by the immunity in case he is indicted by the Millitary investigation?

What do you expect him to answer?

He answered the question that immunity does not cover Election cases. He sighted some cases. I do not see what was Partisan about what Falana said.

then why all the revelations that he rigged ? ...my guy never ever vouch for nigeria politicians abeg including fayose.. supreme Court are humans beings so they ruled based on facts before them, fayose counsel may have done a good job over APC counsel because people with the facts that he used have been settled with positions or cash money, so the unsettled ones like aluko have started revealing things to the public. what can u say Abt the tape released by the military captain ? if he's that loved and accepted by ekiti people then why the rigging option?
