nuclearboy: I just find this President to be an amazing human! Now he "believes" in due process? Yet when 2 Trillion was used when the federal (signed into law) budget for subsidy, was 300billion, there was no due process and rule of law?

Why not simply sack Maina and allow the senate its day? It truly is as if once you steal billions under this government, you are above the law!

maasoap: Of all the clean and competent people from the South South, how did we end up with this wicked and corrupt Jona? OBJ, you no do well o. You imposed a sick man and a clueless man on us.

idlaw2k3: The police say they cant find Maina but he drives around in a convoy. He also recently recieved the president at the airport. He still recieves salary without stepping into his office yet the presidency cannot condemm his action or dismiss him. This is serious.

maasoap: @Manhandle or whatever you called yourself, Is it not obvious to you and other Nigerans that the presidency was protecting and shielding Maina from the long arm of the law because he was stealing and diverting the recovered pension fund to them. All in the name of 2015 PDP primary. And for the record, no one here is saying that the presidency shouldn't follow due process. But to come here and tell us that the president Jona is not shielding him only proves that you're not sincere with yourself.

jas_o: @Mandelaguy,
You are the highest mumu in the planet.
What gave you this devilish utterance that paves you into laughing stock?
It's very obvious that the country is being run with highest corruption; this can be access everywhere in the sphere of present regime. What else do you need to accept this fact?
I pity Nigerians! With the way things are run, is very obvious that corruption will be institutionalized, to be subsequently enact into Nigeria academy syllabus.

Frank-C:
A very powerful man once said that power is deemed more powerful when sparingly used.

The Senate only have powers to summon and issue arrest warrant, not to convict. If Maina is arrested and dragged to the Senate house today, the question is what next. There are far more intelligent ways to handle certain things. Does it mean that Maina's present office is shielding him from prosecution that he must be sacked before being prosecuted or is sacking the punishment ad[i]-JUDGED[/i] adequate by the senate as the right price for his offense?

The Presidency is very correct, at least on paper. Every right thinking person knows that the civil service is one of the toughest places to sack a confirmed employee, not even a cleaner. This was built in by the same Senate to shield civil servants from political victimization. If Maina is sacked today, he will go to court and will easily win his case unless he is disciplined by the civil service following the established procedure.

I've got no love for Maina but our Senators should stop behaving like the lower house. They are meant to be more mature and less exuberant. First, refer their case to EFCC/ICPC, mount political pressure on these executive agencies to get quick results. These agencies will then charge the man to court and possibly convict him if found guilty. But no!, they want their ego massaged...and immediately!!!

But more importantly is the way the Senate is going about this whole issue. They are being unnecessarily emotional and taking it very personal. They have now opened themselves up to more loopholes. One civil servant- Maina- has held a 109 member Senate captive and they are crying like babies to the President to help them save face by pushing the police and sacking the man as if we are in the military era. Next time they want to use their powers of summon, they should first seek better and more mature ways of handling the issue. Again, power is deemed more powerful when sparingly used.

take dat: While I believe the president can wield his executive powers to order for the sack of Maina if he(Maina) is found to have breached the civil service rule, the president should be given the benefit of doubt since he has referred the matter to the HOS. We can only castigate him if the HOS failed to look into it, which will mean the executive is shrouding him. An allegation from vindictive National assembly members comprising of treasury looters and bribery takers turned law makers is no reason to outrightly call for his sack without following due process!

Mandelaguy: People who are not informed keep embarrassing us with their ignorance. My brother, thank you for reminding them that the is a committee on civil service and also that the president is not a king, they should go and get schooled on governance. Rabble rousers!
