GoodGrace: Nonsense!! So you cant read where it was stated in the post that Gbaja was convicted and the names of judges that sat on the case were stated?! You didnt also read where it was stated that he absconded without paying the judgment debt?!! Gbaja is gone as far as speakership is concerned!! 1 Like 1 Share |

aolawale025: Nigerians should act in an enlightened and timely way. No point shouting after the horse has bolted. Being convicted of a crime does not stop you from contesting office in Nigeria, even office of the president. The law says you must not have been convicted of a crime in the last 10 years. Those who are going to court are challenging his election as speaker and they will fail because the 10 years since his conviction has since lapsed. The time to have challenged Gbaja was in 2003, 2007,2011.... Unless you can show a conviction after 2009, it is now too late!!! section 66 (1) (d) No person shall be qualified for election to the Senate or the House of Representatives if: "(d) within a period of less than 10 years before the date of an election to a legislative house, he has been convicted and sentenced for an offence involving dishonesty or he has been found guilty of a contravention of the Code of Conduct; " 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Furthermore this case has already been determined in 2015 where he was represented by Falana https://punchng.com/falanas-law-firm-sues-gbajabiamila-for-unpaid-n20m-professional-fee/ I am not a fan of Gbaja but this case is dead on arrival |

SaintLucia: we are a nation of crooks run by crooks for crooks. The people are crooks, the police are crooks, the accusers are crooks, the prosecutors are crooks, the lawyers are crooks, the judges are crooks. when you hear someone accusing someone else of crminality in Nigeria it is because his own crooks have been denied their opportunity to steal. |

Those who shouted crucify him crucify him on Onoghen's case are defending Gbaja just because of party and ethnicity;and you think Nigeria will ever be great?...Both cases are still in court,we should wait for the final outcome but nooo,we are hypocrites. |

aolawale025: There are so many ex-convict political leaders e.g Obasanjo... Buhari, Atiku, etc. |

5starMan: I have not read anyone defend Gbaja. I personally have said I am no fan of gbaja but i stated that from a legal point of view this case is DOA. 1) because his crime is over 10 years 2) because someone else took the matter to court in 2015 and Falana won the case for Gbaja. Gbaja is a crook, he himself has admitted the charge and refunded the money and served his sentence (3 yr ban) he cant deny it the problem is that this is 2019 and under the constitution, ex criminals are allowed to run for office if their offence is over 10 years. This is not sentiment, this is the law!! let me make one thing clear to you whether APC or PDP all these people are crooks. This is a case of whether you have evidence or legal basis to convict. None of them is clean... Onnoghen, Ibori, Tinubu, GEJ, Gbaja, Ambode, Fashola, Oshiomole, OBJ, Atiku, Saraki etc etc.......take your pick in ANY party. Like Sanusi said, it takes a certain character to be involved in Nigerian politics now. The real stupid man is the one taking sides with criminals and his oppressors and looters on the basis or ethnicity/ religion or party 1 Like |

isthatso:this has always been my stand point but it is only the foolish that support these guys/crooks based on sentiments |

5starMan: Anybody living in Nigeria that is still basing his thinking and positions on religion, ethnic and political party affiliations deserves whatever he is getting from the country. From my observations on nairaland over the years, these sentiments are entrenched and efforts to appeal to logic and common sense is wasted. They are a product of a deliberate system that has conditioned them to think that way, so their oppressors can perpertuate themselves in power. Politics, tribe, Religion defy common sense and you will rarely find other areas in the affairs of man where the oppressed continue to defend and fight for their oppressors. You cannot win, the brainwash is bigger than your common sense. |
