It is very wrong because all three listed cases are being prosecuted by the State.

If he successfully becomes a minister, then there is a conflict of interest where a minister of state is arguing on behalf of his client against the state.

Very wrong.
mind you the state is an institution. We have to ask a pertinent question. Was he the one involved in the crime, at the time of accepting the case from the client, was he fully aware the client committed the crime? Lots of begging and technical questions to answer. That act alone in itself cannot make him unfit for the position.

For one, if appointed as Minister of justice and AGF, don't you think that would influence his ongoing cases at the courts? That would be terrible.

Tell me, which SAN worth his salt doesn't have a high profile case he is defending? This is a case of giving a dog a bad name, just to hang it. Rather than extol his rare professional qualities, Sahara Reporters have chosen to look the other way. I am beginning to suspect their credibility.

As Justice Minister and AGF, Ocholi would be representing the very institution that wishes to indict his clients.

Is that not a simple enough reason why he can't be offered the job?

Whether or not his clients commited the crime is irrelevant.

What is most pertinent is that, in the disputes between the state and his clients, he's currently opposing the position of the state.

If he becomes justice minister, he becomes the embodiment of the state, there is then a clash of interests, and the payments received for his services are suitable incentives to sabotage the rule of law.

This is just common sense na?

Are you saying that as a lawyer he should have carefully scrutinized the kind of cases he accepts simply because, he might be considered for appointment as AG? If you're a lawyer, I am sure your opinion will be different.

Yes.

Attorney Generals in most sane countries have a background in public prosecution.

A lawyer with a background in criminal defence is a poor choice to be made an AGF or minister of Justice.

How can you be made the head of an institution you built a career out of fighting?

Well I appreciate your logic, now he will be representing an institution, this is where his integrity will come into question. Let look at this scenario, in a situation where a new client you have had a course to face in the law court brings a new case for you to defend, will you object the case as it could be clash of interest? Will that not lead to bringing your personal interest to fore, in a matter which professional attitude should prevail?

Buhari and this man might as well be playing the same game. Ocholi might be Mr. Buhari's errand boy on the matter.

But he's getting paid to go against the state. Several times more that the state could ever pay him sef.

There's no argument about this. Clash of interest. This should NOT be happening

I repeat I blame buhari and the North for boko haram problem because when everybody should have work with past administration to root these animals out buhari and his Northern gangs said attack on boko haram is attack on the North now see how God is punishing the North now.

Any one that says his neighbour will see no peace himself will not smell peace. No peace for the wicked. Now look at twist of things Gej now sleeping peacefully in his otuoke home while its now Mr attack on boko haram is an attack on the North and his Northern goats are having sleepless night, very good turn around. North, you ain't see anything yet boko haram should descend on the North more.

He was, as soon as become a government appointee he ceases to be. Even his law firm should not be seen to do so hence objectivity will be impaired.

One source within the Presidency told SaharaReporters that President Buhari was receiving “very bad advice” from some of the associates he trusts most when it comes to appointments.

hahahahahahahaha
Please bury this silly argument.
He needs to advice to enable him stay clear of shady characters.
If he chooses shady characters, he and not his supposed advisers is to blame.
You mean to tell me that in the whole country he cannot find a relatively clean lawyer for appointment?
I remain his supporter but I will not neglect to say the truth as I see it.

He doesn't need to hold public office before his interests are conflicted. The mere fact that his nomination for office is a matter of public knowledge is sufficient to, inter alia constitute a hindrance to the successful prosecution of his clients in many ways. Indeed, court proceedings were suspended so that he could attend his screening.

that court proceeding was suspended for him to attend screening is just a rumour from the rumour mill. some other factors could be the be responsible for that. The fact still stands that the issue being raised is not enough to make him unfit for the job.
