@Mycoli: Actually, the issues raised by the poster is baseless.

1. Prosecution can only be authorised from the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation/Justice Ministry. Keyword here is office.

2. The Office/Ministry is not the same as occupant/Minister. Just as the Presidency does not mean the occupant. 1(above) actually mean the institution. Any authorised person (Solicitor-General or Director of Public Prosecution) have the power to okay criminal proceeding in the absence of AGF.

3. The law does not recognise vacuum. Hence, the Ministry of Justice were able to halt Sylva's case even when there was no Minister of Justice.

4. The CCB has acted lawfully

5. It is NOT an impeachable offence. Beside to impeach a President you need 1/3 members of Senate and Reps to send impeachment notice, you need the CJN to set up 7-man committee to investigate the 'offences' and you need ANOTHER 2/3 of Senate and Reps to pass a Yes (assuming the panel indict the President). It is virtually IMPOSSIBLE

I don't think the impeachment is possible.
Just that Buhar needs to realise that we're no longer in the military era.

It's a pity we have many naive-minded commentators lately on the cyberspace....this writer had forgotten that in the absence of an Attorney-General, the most Senior Officer in the CCB can act in the capacity of the AG. The issue at stake here demands urgency towards a staggering case (billions of dollars accrued to a single noble thief), even Tinubu appeared in the dock in this same CCT when he was served his notice. So who the hell is this spoilt brat forming one god against the Law of the Land?

. The constitution is very clear on the office of the Attorney General. it did not empower anybody to act in the capacity of the A-G. the A-G can can only empower any legal practioner personally.

First time I would disagree with u on this forum, your opinions are almost all of the time spot on, but on this you got it wrong. Let me say upfront that I consider Saraki a despicable, treacherous, opportunistic scoundrel, a rapacious thief deserving all the tribulations being meted to him by his equally power hungry, tyrannical soul mates. That said, I believe we are a country governed by law and under no circumstance should the tenets, letters and the core principles of law be deviated from just because it's expedient to do so. If we encourage mob action against a deserving thief someday an innocent relative may be wrongly lynched to death just because someone maliciously called him Ole in the market place.

To what you opined, my dissent

1) the law is very specific on who can prosecute or authorize prosecution by way of delegating his authority for false declaration of assets, The attorney general of the federation. This is unlike any other criminal prosecution where the power to prosecute can be implied even when there is no substantive AG

2) like I said earlier, the law is not referring to the office but the person of the Attorney general, there is no ambiguity. No other person can act on his behalf unless there is an express authorisation from the AGF. In this case, Buhari shot himself in the foot by his inexplicable delay in appointing his ministers

3) The law recognize a vacuum if there is one even though nature abhors it

4) In its rush to please the puppeteer, CCB not only acted unlawfully but also in total disregard of its own procedures. An accuse is to be afforded an opportunity by the commission to explain any discrepancy discovered after verification of his declared assets, the commission only proceeds to prosecute if the Explanation is considered unsatisfactory. In this case nothing of such happened.

5) this constitutional infraction may not be weighty enough to warrant the impeachment of the president, moreso when there is nothing to show he is directly involved in this shenanigan but I assure you that if he continues to behave like we are still in a military era where his whims must be obeyed and his wishes must be law , then sooner or later even those cheering him on now would start seeing him as a menace that must be thwarted, he frittered away his goodwill in 84, same can still happen

Clearly, after reading this OP, Modath is afraid.

Ma'am goan sleep biko.

I hope someone informs Mr Buhari of this.
I also hope for his sake that the subsection, section, session et al I'm seeing up there is fake and a blatant lie.

Else, he would be biting his fingers now on why he took this long to appoint an Attorney General.

Swift does not always mean Apt.

practically took this as a joke , isnt it? If not its laughable , the character of the presidency itself commands fear, 2/3 of the Senate and Reps needs to approve motion before any process can be taken, northerners has more than halve of d senators nd reps, when it comes to Buhari u dont expect them to forsake him, the main reason supports are garnered for saraka is tackling jagaban.
