BY SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORK OCT 23, 2015

Embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki, made another effort today to use shady legal maneuvers to obtain a court order stopping his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja.

SaharaReporters learned that the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Ibrahim Auta, personally conspired with Mr. Saraki to secure the court order, and traveled to Lagos to oversee the process. However, the legal plot was upendedwhen a lawyer for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), who was tipped off about the legal hanky-panky, appeared in court.

Justice Auta had assigned the case to Justice Ibrahim Buba, a judge with a reputation for granting injunctions that permanently protect corrupt politicians in Nigeria. But as Justice Buba was about to grant an injunction ordering the Code of Conduct Tribunal to stop Senator Saraki’s trial, an EFCC lawyer showed up. The lawyer’s unexpected appearance threw Justice Buba off balance. The EFCC lawyer told Justice Buba that all the defendants had not been served the notice and urged him not to grant any orders, reminding him that the public was watching the case closely.

A flustered Justice Buba then adjourned the case till November 2, 2015, telling Mr. Saraki’s lawyers to ensure that they put other defendants on notice.

Mr. Saraki’s decision to seek an injunction to stop his trial from another high court stemmed from the failure of theCourt of Appeal to issue such an order last Monday. SaharaReporters had stymied a plot by the appellate court to stop Mr. Saraki’s trial by exposing that former Supreme Court justice, Alfa Belgore, had brokered a deal with the justices to derail the senator’s continued prosecution.

A legal observer told SaharaReporters that it was curious that the Code of Conduct Tribunal agreed to adjourn its case until the Court of Appeal gave its ruling on Mr. Saraki’s appeal. “However, the fact that Senator Saraki and his lawyers decided to approach another high court today might mean that the Court of Appeal justices may have backed out of the deal to stop the trial,” said the expert.

Meanwhile, a politically connected source in Abuja told SaharaReporters that some officials of the Muhammadu Buhari administration were making efforts to halt Mr. Saraki’s trial administratively. According to this source, the Director General of Department of State Security (DSS), Lawal Musa Daura, and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, had been pressuring the Code of Conduct Tribunal to find a way to halt Mr. Saraki’s trial.

Another source in the Ministry of Justice also told SaharaReporters that there were moves to remove Rotimi Jacobs as the prosecutor in Mr. Saraki’s case. The source said Mr. Jacobs was perceived as too principled and resolute to be party to an administrative arrangement that would scuttle the case.

Bukola Saraki and the apc, APC Crises

Apc crises
Why the trouble in the ruling all progressive congress, will apc be better than the people’s Democratic Party. In 1999 when Nigerian came under democracy the ruling party then pdp, was very much united and the party body as the final say unlike what we are now seeing in the all progress congress. The whole senate president is n mess with his party chieftain and the presidency continue to play I don’t care attitude.
We all know what tore the people democratic party, it was internal crises, in fact most Nigerians know that pdp was the problem of pdp and pdp destroy itself,. If without the contribution of key pdp figures like Rotimi Ameachi, former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Rabilu Musa Kwankwaso, the then new pdp senators and members of the lower chamber, the contribution of the g7 governors as well continue reading

Whenever someone in Lagos begins to wonder where their 4th mainland bridge went, or what was the fate of the pipe-borne water project, or even where the schools and hospitals had vanished to, there is a silence that contains it all. The largest landlord in Lagos has done as he has pleased, and the rest of the state just has to deal with it. For instance: Number 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi: A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land which was originally the Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979, but which now belongs to Tinubu. The certificate of occupancy of the property valued at N450 million was signed and released to him by Fashola in 2007 shortly after he assumed office.

Tinubu’s residence at 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi was initially falsely presented as Oando Plc Guest House. Later, he purportedly bought it from Oando, and used public funds to rebuild and renovate it. The Lagos State Government bought the property and paid an undisclosed sum to him and thereafter gave the property back to him under the bogus Pension Bill he signed to law shortly before he left office in 2007. The property is worth over N600 million.

The annex of the Lagos State Guest House in Asokoro, Abuja was bought by the State Government in 2006 for N450 million, purportedly to protect the main house from security breach. Shortly after Tinubu left office, the property was transferred to him under the pension plan he signed into law before leaving office.

The 250-hectare land valued at about N35billion and strategically located at the Ajah junction on Lekki Road was initially meant for a General Hospital for the people of Eti-Osa Local Government but was stolen by Tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd – a company owned by Deji and Wale Tinubu – to develop as Royal Garden Housing Estate at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.

The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Lekki Concession Company (LCC) which is partly- owned by Tinubu and Fashola and being developed as golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource Management Ltd (ARM) as ADIVA project.
..................so stop shouting Saraki everynow and then for BOLA AHMED TINUBU IS A BIGGER THIEF
