This move by APC may end up crumbling the party,because Saraki is not a small boy in d game of politics,should he pullout wit his faction Apc will suffer d effect just like PDP did.

And if he pull out will Nigeria fail to be Nigeria again? Nigeria is God's plan, and no man is bigger than God. Just sit down and watch as the drama unfold.

But we should not forget quickly that he spent part of this money massively for APC and to sponsor SAI Buhari to upstage GEJ especially in the Middle-Belt and Sahara or others didn't see anything wrong. The same way Saraki accumulated wealth was the same way every Political Godfather accumulated wealth, let's also pause and think on how Tinubu aquired his trillions of dollars or others. Tinubu didn't inherit wealth like Saraki. Let's leave Saraki alone or we beam search light into every Politically enriched Godfather in this country.

Where was his inherited wealth from? What did his father do to get the money? Wasn't he also a politician

I think the man called for a fight when he dared the entire APC machinery thrice:
1. By going against his party and forcefully making himself SP
2. By going against his party and placing a PDP man as deputy
3. By going against his party and forcefully appointing the rest of the senate principal officers single handedly

Dogara was a bit sensible in his own case, he only had an ambition to be speaker and he lobbied extensively for it and won a clean and fair election. Dogara also conceded smartly and allowed his party nominations to be the principal officers in the house. On the other hand, Saraki bit a bit more than he could chew by even locking his party members outside when he declared himself SP. I don't think this war he began will end too well for him. Buhari doesn't seem to mind, but there are many others in the party who are bothered with Saraki's dictatorship.

Saraki start the process of impeaching the President!
wake up this is Nigeria not Europe.. If he tries it he would be consumed ending up ben the one impeached... Even his PDP counterpart won't support him.. Remember what happened at the national conference when GEJ tried smuggling tenure elongation... Even delegates from the east went against that move cos they knew the implication...

Senate President Bukola Saraki failed yesterday to stop his arraignment today before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) in Abuja

A Federal High Court in Abuja refused his prayer for an ex-parte order restraining the CCT, the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) from proceeding with his planned arraignment on a 13-count charge brought against him by the Office of the AGF.

Justice Ahmed Mohammed, who heard Saraki’s lawyer, Mahmud Magaji (SAN), in relation to the ex-parte motion in chambers, directed that the respondents be put on notice.

The judge directed the respondents to appear before the court on Monday to show cause why Saraki’s prayers, as contained in his ex-parte motion, should not be granted.

The Judge ordered that the respondents be served with all the court processes, including the motion of notice for interim order or injunction, motion ex-parte and a hearing notice.

The office of the AGF had filed the charge dated September 11 against Saraki before the CCT, accusing him of committing, among others,  offences ranging from anticipatory declaration of assets to making false declaration of assets in forms he filed before the Code of Conduct Bureau while he was governor of Kwara State.

Saraki is accused of failing to declare some assets he acquired while in office as governor; acquiring assets beyond his legitimate earnings and operating foreign accounts while being a public officer – governor and senator.

The Senate President is, in the charge endorsed by a Deputy Director at the FMJ, Muslim Hassan, said to have, by the offences, breached Section 2 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act.

The CCT, on Wednesday, fixed today for Saraki’s arraignment. But, in an effort to prevent the CCT from proceeding with its business, Saraki raced to the Federal High Court, Abuja with the ex-parte application.



Saraki urged the court to restrain  the Federal Ministry of Justice, CCB, CCT and Mr. Hassan, who signed the charge, from taking any further step to arraign or prefer any charge against him, pending the hearing and determination of the suit he filed along with the ex-parte motion.
He is, in the substantive suit,  praying the court to declare that the ministry has not complied with the provision of the 3rd Schedule of Section 24(1) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act to act before proffering a charge against him.

He contends  that based on the provision of Section 24 of the CCB and Tribunal Act, it is the AGF or any officer directed by him (AGF) that must initiate charges against him (Saraki).

Saraki contends that “in the absence of any substantive AGF in the time being, this court has the jurisdiction to direct parties to maintain status quo, pending the hearing of the motion on notice”.

He argued  that since there is no subsisting AGF, the charge against him by the official of the AGF before the CCT is void as the provisions of Section 24 (1) of the CCB and tribunal.

No Nigerian president has ever won a power tussle war with the senate. With the likes of David Mark, Ekweremadu, Akpabio, Andy Ubah, Orji, these people are there for power and ego not money. Money means nothing to them...they have financial war chest to fight any power tussle. This witchhunt move by GMB/APC will backfire...Nigerian senators are godfathers in their respective states. They know the subtle message is if we can do this to your senate president, we can do it to you...precedence!

Lol 82 senators (already more than 2/3) passed a vote of confidence on Saraki!! Dont forget that Saraki is also a northerner even if PMB/Osinbanjo are shown the way out,the north would still be in power.
Lol... they pass a vote of confident, does that mean that they took an oath of undying allegiance and servility to his cause?....

Kaii!... So in your mind now you believe 82 senators would just line behind Saraki to vote for impeachment of PMB?... And you also believe that after they must have impeached PMB, they would also line up and impeach PYO too right?... and if I may ask, on what charges would these impeachments be?.... that some Jonathanians want it so?

Kaii.. Only God knows the breed of paw-paw leave some people are smoking these days grin grin

The APC is clearly a party of power-hungry men. I don't see the party becoming as powerful as the PDP. In fact, I see their end coming soon.

Please, if Saraki is impeached, will Ekweremmadu assume leadership?

What is your point exactly? Are you saying he should not be charged? Advice Saraki to look for information on Tinubu and nail his house too. I don't care if they both share cell room.
It's only a deranged Nigerian that sides the politicians.

Still the PMB that I know. If Saraki were to be Ibo, my brothers and sisters in Nairaland would have been spitting fire and screaming Northern Agenda by now.
This is a dream coming true. A Nigeria where your ethnicity and position do not determine how you are treated by the laws of the land. Heard that some people are now even rejecting Ministerial appointments.
Sanity is indeed returning gradually.

Olodo, Buhari be impeached on what ground? FYI the court that earlier said Saraki should not honour the CCB, erred because the CCB's CCT is a tribunal on itself.
