Most Nigerians are quick to overlook injustice...while desiring a great Nation. Until we have leaders who are willing to do things constitutionally we won't stop behaving like a Nation of clowns. Even a convicted criminal still has constitutional rights... Nigerians tolerate 'Off Days' from PHCN even when there is no stable power supply...they buy Kerosene at 115 naira per litre gladly... We have allowed unconstitutional decisions to be constitutionlised.

He was the one God used to exposed the booby trap of May 28th handover date. .Now Godis using him to expose the impunity of IGP sack. It is better we allow things to run perfectly according to the law of the land in this nation. Nobody must be allowed to play with the destiny of others because of positional authority. Authority is a loaded gun and it must not be used arbitrarily. Thank God for the learned mind like Falana SAN)

[b][/b] what is wrong with ur senses? What Jona did wt Abba is matter of d law n u are opposed to a concerned SAN responding to it? Evn if incompetence is d reason for hs sack, will following d needed procedure change anything? No! But certainly it d ve saved us d pain of knowing hw clueless u r as regard issues like ds. Even armed robbers r condemned by law, not by d president. The reason he rushed hs sack is so he will nt reveal d extent to which d presidency used him during d just concluded elections.

Falana has lost credibility both in his state and in Nigeria as a whole. Gone are d days when falana will talk and people will take his talk seriously but now that glory is gone. He should tell us if obj consulted police council when he sacked smith & balogun. He has never hide his support for Apc but I advice him he should Jonathan alone.

There continues the impunity of the Jona regime. This same impunity caused him to fail to convince a lot of Nigerians to reelect him. From impunity in:

-sacking a chief of army staff when he went to represent Nigeria at an international engagement (cowardly way of sacking).

-sacking the CBN gov in an unconstitutional way when he was out of the country representing Nigeria at an international engagement (cowardly way of sacking).

-encouraging and supporting minority to upstage majority in Rivers assembly.

-encouraging division in the Nigeria Gov's forum just because your preferred candidate lost a free and fair election.

-encouraging and supporting the embarrassment of the Speaker of the House of Reps, the House in general and the entire Nigerian people in an unconstitutional way just because he decamped from your party with a valid legal basis (this particular one was a big assault on Nigeria's democracy).

-encouraging and supporting unnecessary impeachment proceedings in Adamawa and Nasarawa because of personal grouse with the govs. That of Nasarawa failed and almost threw the state into chaos. That of Adamawa succeeded and looks very likely to be upturned by the courts and thus creating additional confusion and waste of funds.

- encouraging minority (7) to send majority (19) packing from the Ekiti state house of assembly. I am very sure if GEJ calls for just 1 meeting with all the members of the EKITI house including Fayose and Ekiti APC leadership and mediate peace moves btw all parties as expected from the Father of the nation, it would have seriously calm nerves over there. But instead, he is encouraging Fayose to be dictatorial by sending the 19 APC lawmakers away and in effect heating up the state as if there is no other alternative way of resolving disputes.


GEJ has so many bills passed by the National Assembly not yet signed into law (some since 2012). Instead of him to busy himself in studying these bills and assenting those that merits assent before handover, thereby leaving a legacy for himself, he's being vindictive (another show of small mindedness).

Jona why are u trying to create more enemies for yourself before leaving? All the people u witch-hunted are taking strategic positions in the GMB govt. Why can't u just leave quietly. Now that u re soon going to become an ordinary citizen, it is in your interest to make peace with all sides and pursue it.

What if GMB comes on board and then reinstate Abba that his sack did not follow due process.

Will that not make u look silly? Are u aware that the police and others will still be responsible for your security as a former president and it is in your interest and that of your family to have a good rapport and relationship with that institution.

Why do u always prefer to act out of emotions instead of logically? A lot of think tanks are already of the opinion that u should have left Abba's fate in the hands of the incoming administration.

If u and your wife jam any of Dambazzau, Sylva, Nyako, SLS, Amaechi, Nyako, Berth Nnaji, or Abba at say an airport or at a function,will u not feel a pang of guilt at your earlier vindictive actions?

As u round up your administration, pls don't create additional enemies for yourself, use the remaining days to leave the legacy of a responsible peace-loving leader and a gentleman.

You were battling to say something but you have actually not said a thing.

Lagos lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) has condemned the sack of former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Suleiman Abba. He described Abba’s removal as “illegal and unconstitutional”.

“It is a contravention of sectin 216 (2) of the 1999 constitution, which states that ‘before removing the IG form office, the President shall consult the Nigeria Police Council’.

“Since the council, whose members include the 36 State Governors, was not consulted, Mr. Abba’s sack is null and void. It should be rescinded forthwith,” Falana said.

this man is always buying into matters that doesnt concern him.

I am waiting to see how he will critisiz APC/GMB‘s government when they come into power My 29th.

Abba himself said his sack is the hand of God.

I am watching him... Soon GEJ will hand over. Then he will have less work to do.

Mtcheeeeewww!!!!

jazzydee:
If falana doesn't. Criticize Buhari admin as he did Gej then he has sold out

Oga, it's like you don't know Femi Falana. He has always been pro-APC/ACN since time immemorial. That dude was at the forefront in supporting the illegal impeacgement of Fayose in 2006. That dude always turn blind eye when it comes to APC. Himself and Soyinka are "same-same"

If Falana and Abba Suleiman are convinced that the sack is illegal, they should seek redress in court. Falana should stop making noise..

SLIDEwaxie:
the guy criticizes almost every govt in Nigeria. I am sure he wld

Did U ever hear Falana criticise d activities of Lagos state govt,deportation saga,lekki toll gate etc?
Did U ever hear his voice during d rage over Buhari's certificates,his refusal to debate,etc?
The guy is d most one sided human right activist in d whole world.

[quote author=sauceny post=33049983]He was sacked for incompetence period...Falana should save that story for another day.[/quote, dats a lie, he was sacked because he didnt cari out d odas of pdp govt.

Look up the meaning of 'hypocrisy' in the dictionary.

The onus is on the 'alleger' to prove beyond reasonable doubt that GMB indeed is not qualified to run for office. That is the position of majority of Buhari fans. It is not by giving countless press conferences and embarrassing the man in the media. Nobody disturbed them from taking the appropriate position according to law. Now that majority of them are withdrawing their fraudulent cases, did anyone put a gun on their head??

Shut up pls! The president has the power to hire and fire according to the laid down law, everybody knows that. But it has to be according to the laid down rule! It is this kind of impunity encouraged and supported by some ignorant people that has not made this country to progress beyond this.

Nigerians don't like following law and order. And it is even more pathetic that they will still be encouraging their leaders to do same.

U r a brain dead fellow for u to say he was used by GEJ during d elections. Even when every body kept applauding d police force for d first time in dis con3.
Now I know y dey say dat no matter how u try to impress a fool he will finally act like one.

I doubt very much that Suleiman will be reinstated but it is important for the law to be clarified for future reference e.g it would have been nice to clarify whether the president had the power to edge out Sanusi the way he did.That is all part of maturation in our democracy.This is a welcome debate

Abba’s sack illegal- Falana

http://thenationonlineng.net/new/falana-abbas-sack-illegal/


Lagos lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) has condemned the sack of former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Suleiman Abba. He described Abba’s removal as “illegal and unconstitutional”.

“It is a contravention of sectin 216 (2) of the 1999 constitution, which states that ‘before removing the IG form office, the President shall consult the Nigeria Police Council’.

“Since the council, whose members include the 36 State Governors, was not consulted, Mr. Abba’s sack is null and void. It should be rescinded forthwith,” Falana said.

I say without equivocation that most Nigerians are phony. Even few individuals that parade themselves as the so-called (SAN) are moronically idiotic. One wonders if the bolded on the above post is the only section in the 1999 constitution that dealt with the sacking of IGP by the president.

Shut up

Was law and order implored in the qualification of Buhari to contest the general election? were the issues surrounding his WASC resolved according to the law? Anything that involves GEJ some of you develop instant wrath without caring to make your search.

Buhari is well qualified to contest. If u think otherwise, then go the legal way in establishing this fact. A nos of people earlier went to court for this same issue. Nobody put a gun on their head for them to withdraw their spurious case.

If they indeed have a valid case, then let them follow it to a logical conclusion.

Buhari has a statement of result copied from a supposed result broadsheet. A copy of the results sheet itself was also given to him. This is because he claimed his certificate is not where he thought it was.

Anyone that is of the opinion that the result is fake can file a case at the law court. It is very easy. The court during the proceedings can then subpoenaed Cambridge to produce a certified true copy in court.

Goddex:
