Take to correction!
The AGF is the most senior legal officer in the country.

Nope the CJN is the head of the judicial arm of Government.

He who controls the law and its dispensation is God in the midst of others.

Sorry dear but the attorney General does not control the law in Nigeria!!He is simply the chief prosecuting counsel for the FG.The judges are the one who interprets them

Who heads the ministry of justice? The CJN or AGF/Minister of Justice? So how can the CJN be the most senior legal officer?

Okay..who is most senior legal officer in Nigeria?
1. Chief Justice of Nigeria
2. Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation.
3. President, Nigerian Bar Association.



Hint*...The CJN is the chairman of the legal privileges committee, it is his duty to discipline every member of the bench and bar, he has the right to strip any one of such privilege...if the AGF is derobbed, he loses his office. While the NBA President only has the right to suspend a lawyer from legal practise and report him to the CJN. The AGF only has the power to state govt's position on matters, such positions could be easily challenged at the Supreme court. In fact, the CJN, through a court order, can easily summon anybody in the country, including the president. The only area the AGF may rub shoulders with the CJN is when it comes to nominating a successor. While the CJN, through the NJC may only make some nominations, the AGF has the powers to influence the president's final choice.


Conclusion...the CJN is the aged-father, the AGF is the richest son, the NBA President is the eldest son...so everyone is powerful in his own right

President Buhari is finally realizing that war against corruption in Nigeria is a very unfriendly war that can not be fought alone. Apart from the support of average Nigerians, president Buhari also needs the support of high power super Nigerians, therefore, bringing bigwig rascal like Femi Falana on board is a super fantastic move. In fact, it is a priceless decision that will only empower the change president Buhari promised Nigerians during the presidential election.

If this news is true, I can only agree that the Nigeria of yesterday is dying rapidly, and the birth of the new beginning is in process.

Definitely a very good news!

When the budget that year was said to have been passed while Yar'Adua was in Saudi Arabia, was it Turai or Andoaka that said that the President could govern from any part of the country?

Chukwudi.......aka oldgoat......AGF is even more powerful.....but I doubt the story anyway.....and I do not want hm to be because I don't think he is qualified enough....... grin

Instead of entertaining this little person called chukwudi, why not just ignore and let him entertain himself.

I am yet to confirm this news, so far, I have been getting half and half info. There is no solid confirmation that Femi Falana has been picked. But I am hoping this is true.

Is there anyone with the latest news regarding the selection of the AGF?

Bro, with due respect, speak about what you know and leave the ones you don't know to rest. If you know the enormous powers at the disposal of the AGF, you'd shudder. Aondakaa is the only AGF in our checkered history that wielded up to 80% of his powers as AGF and that is why Nigerians don't like him.

Personally, I prefer the AGF to being the Vice President, and I hold the view that Prof Osinbajo is under-utilised as the VP. The man is so sound and should have been made the AGF instead of being confined to reading newspapers and representing the President at state functions. I give him kudos every time I read the Laws of Lagos state. Our Legal system would have been better off with him as the AGF. We need reforms in the ares of;

1. Land tenure system.

2. Administration of Criminal justice.

Etc etc

I just quoted @chukwudi44; educating him about the office of the AGF. I didn't know you had been engaged in a fierce argument with him.

People like him are those that would tell a Lawyer his job because they 'know' the law too. Very annoying!
