Maxymilliano: Finally, the merchant of justice is back, the sales continues.

Demdem: If true, why did it take the retardeen so long. Suspension was speedily done but reinstatement took eternity. Anyway, I commend him sha.
Justice salami has finally been vindicated then.

Iolo:

Case was in court. Guess they waited for it to be thrown out first which is the correct thing to do.

Ariyke: Welcome Back Baba

Former Justice Salami is far from being re-instated. All ACN members crying for his recall can take a chill pill, it exposes them further. There are many dimensions to Salami issue. First, is the legal angle and the second is the moral angle. Legally, Salami cannot be re-instated until ALL pending court cases are dealt with. That is the law. And the cases cannot be dealt with with him on that seat, hence his removal in the first place. The moral angle is the inexcusable exchange of one sided correspondence with some people who came to his court for justice. Even if justice was done, it will never look as if it was ever done.

What actually happened on Thursday was that the position of Mr President was echoed (endorsing the position of his legal team) while Salami's chance of re-in statement is pushed farther out of reach. Anybody can believe ACN propaganda at their own peril. You can refer to the link below:

It was, however, learnt that the members were divided when the matter was brought up for discussion. While some of the members said it was necessary to take a decisive action on the matter, others opined that it would amount to contempt of court to take any action during the pendency of the cases instituted by the applicant.

The source further revealed that though the issue of Justice Salami was not originally slated for deliberation in the course of the meeting, nevertheless, the issue dominated their discourse immediately it was introduced, yesterday.

He said though the council under the leadership of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mariam Aloma Mukhtar, ab-initio expressed intentions to recall the suspended PCA, the idea met stiff opposition from members of the council.

Vanguard gathered that in-view of the sharp division among its members on the issue of recalling the PCA despite the pending court cases, it was subsequently agreed that status-quo be maintained on the matter.

It will be recalled that the immediate past CJN, Justice Dahiru Musdapher, earlier wrote President Jonathan, urging him to go ahead and recall the suspended PCA.

His decision was based on the report of a committee that was headed by the present CJN, Justice Muhktar, which recommended that Salami should be allowed to return to office.

Meanwhile, President Jonathan, through the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN, on May 22, 2012, adduced reasons why the PCA could not be reinstated now.

The AGF had maintained that doing so would amount to sub-judice, adding that “no responsible government will overreach the powers of the court; this government is determined to do the right thing.”

Meantime, following the retirement of the former CJN, Justice Musdapher, the NJC under Justice Muhktar, made a U-turn, insisting that it has the exclusive constitutional powers to reinstate Salami back to his position, “without recourse of any sort to the President.”

In a written address it filed in support of a suit before the Federal High Court Abuja, NJC, further argued that by virtue of section 238(5) of the 1999 Constitution, Jonathan, lacked the powers to reappoint Justice Adamu as Acting PCA after the expiration of three months from the day Salami was ousted from office, stressing that the action amounted to an act of illegality since such recommendation never emanated from the Council as required by the law.

@Demdem
Your fight against corruption seem to always get derailed whenever it affects ACN's interests. Why is that?

You were in support of Oteh's removal from office while she is being investigated for Hembe's claims and fictitious corrupt practices. Oteh is the Head of stock exchange, so her position is less sensitive than that of Salami. But for Salami, you felt that it is ok for him to continue to head a strategic section of the judiciary that is investigating him. You forgot that at one point or the other, he may be required to take the last decision in his own case.

I understand your position- you have to do your job and you have a KPI -but I advice that you get smarter about it. What is your party's interest in Former Justice Salami. Can you just precisely answer this question?

eGuerrilla: There is now little doubt that the AGF and Mr President are the ones stonewalling Justice Salami's re-instatement, as they continue to exhibit a flagrant disregard of the Nation's constitution.
Ah well, this is what you get when the legislative branch exists primarily for self-serving purposes only, and not to provide sufficient oversight as we see in better climes.

Demdem:

[b]To be honest with u, u are simply talking crap. I pose a simple question to u for u to reason out ur faulty logic, u respond accusing me of being ACN. FFuck ACN for the upteenth time. i care less about them and they are not in anyway responsible for my sustenance.

For all i care, allegations against Salami hasnt been proven beyond doubts. Are u saying the NJC that gave him a clean bill has also been bribed by ACN also or NJC members who now agreed that they erred in their suspension are now members of ACN? Probably u think they dont know what they are doing? If salami is guilty, he should not only be de-robbed but also prosecuted. That is not the case for now and u will have to live with it.

Dont bring Hembe and Oteh case here because both of them are liable and should probably rot in jail if proven to be so. Hembe is alleged to have asked for funds while Oteh is alleged to have mismanaged funds. She hasnt defended herself from that.

Again i ask u:

If pending suits didnt stop his suspension, why should pending suits stop his reinstatement even now that the NJC has given him a clean bill.

Answer that and spare me ur work for ACN trash.[/b]

thelastPope:

Showing your partisan and double standards again abi? I told you people notice. The same argument you used in favour of Salami you refused to use for Oteh. Has anything been proven beyond reasonable doubt againsy Oteh? You crucify her on some bogous accusation and declare Salami's accusations are false. You are entitled to your own moniker on NL but not entitled to your own facts! You have a right to an opinion, whatever it is, but hypocrisy is just wrong!
