God Punish APC supporters

Izontubo:
its not a way forward ...thats the mistake we are making...the apc intends to stick their asss on the presidency and put nigeria in a choke hold just as pdp did for 16 years...who is then gonna probe the apc...its a wrong way to fight corruption...countrys that have defeated corruption fought against it holistically devoid of party sentiments or tribe or otherwise....saraki is being tried because he played a fast one on the apc(his own party though) and the likes of tinubu wont let him be...

Jirate:
The Real Question is Why Fayose Account ? Why not Ameachi, Fashola, Oshiomhole or even Tinubu.

youngsahito:

Vicmoni:


Am not in support of that noise maker called Fayose but my take is this, y freeze account without a court order.

For those shouting Wwitch hunt and Persecution of PDP members


Constitution as amended in 1999 states every new administration must probe the previous one , that is unnegotiable , Unfortunately PDP and their padi padi government failed to do that


Secondly , this has happened before ,

What!? You mean you have forgotten? Then, let me refresh your memory. You see, exactly 2 years ago, on June 20th 2014, our own EFCC froze Murtala Inyako's account. He was, at the time, still sitting as the governor of Adamawa State. He had immunity too.

The government of the day argued, that his account must be frozen so that proper investigation can be carried out, and so that he will not be sble to move monies that were supposedly belonging to that poor state out of the account. In fact, I made two posts supporting that government, for going after the man's account through EFCC.

That account is still locked down till today. Baba Nyako was (still is) unable to access that account. In fact, the next ruling for the care to de-freeze of Baba Mai Mangoro's account will be tomorrow, June 22, 2016; exactly 2 years and 1 day. Let Fayose go to court and get his bank account de-frozen. He needs the money like plant needs water. I heard "he is not a barawo". We don't want him to go hungry. Do we?

Oh, so you remember? Then if you want to criticize this government, please do. But don't say, "This is the only government that is witch-hunting opposition". I didn't see that one as witch-hunt. I'll not see this one as so. There was precedent in this 16 year old democracy, set by PDP in 2014.

You can even pretend to care so much about values by saying, "But two wrongs don't make no right". But please, do not insult our memory and intelligence by saying, "This is the first time...". It is not. And stop saying "We are drifting towards dictatorship" because of this case, when for the same reason we didn't in 2014.

Oh, you mean you don't even know? Okay, now you do. Don't you think he deserved fair hearing too? Oh, you know but don't give a damn because he is not a member of PDP? okay, may God save us from you. But I don't like your double-standard. I supported it in 2014. I'm supporting it in 2016. TonyeBarcanista, Omenka kindly state your views

Every river started with a drop, a thousand miles journey starts with one step..
What EFCC is probing so far is Federal funds stolen....and the people so far proved are the people the funds trail linked to.
So, all the shout about wholistisc fight is myopic and pure sentiments. If your brother was a soldier sent to war with a bruthal enemy like boko, without bullets while his generals and politicians shared the money meant to equip him to fight, and eventually he got killed not for his failure to use his military training but the impunity of his generals. You won't be comfortable thinking as you are now. Your mates in the army were bethrayed by their leaders and collaborators, those raised alarm were hurried tried and sentenced to death just to silence them but Jonathan's stopped him from signing the death warrant from the rogue generals saved their lives.

fxskye:


Because EFCC has constitutional power to do that while investigation still ongoing!

The same thing happened to Muritala N'yako under GEJ administration. Abi you done forget just barely 2 yrs ago?

Get my drift?

Compliant:
this is where you need TonyeBarcanista lets see what he has to say or his account was freeze also ?

Izontubo:
what are you saying...how can you say those shouting for a holistic approach to corruption fight are myopic......bokoharam insurgence must be put on the heads of northern leaders who chose to side with their islamic brothers just to spite gejs government.....the north should be blamed for bokoharam and should solve bokoharam wahala...that does not in any way preclude buhari from fighting corruption impartially...if the apc thieving leaders cant be probed or their accounts frozen too then the FG should shut their trap up about corruption fight and do what the hell they like...let us just know they are running insane instead of proclaiming to the world they are fighting corruption..we are not baby's..has atikus account been frozen...rubbish

DeRay98:


Why did Jonathan not freeze Atiku's account? He was in PDP at the time and they were in power for 6-7 more years after the case.
Jonathan and PDP had their time to probe corruption wether at state of federal level, they were too back deep in looting our resources that they couldn't indict themselves till power left them. The funny thing with people like you is that, those indicted have not denied stealing, they looted at the expense of the lives of common Nigerians to other fund other countries while our economy has been brought to its knees. Yet, you are venting your spleen, raising blood pressure and risking premature death from HBP in defending crooks.

NgeneUkwenu:



The implication is- if after the court processes, he is acquitted, the EFCC will unfreeze his account...

TheAdvocate:


The fact that it happened to Nyako doesn't make it right. Of course yu know that two wrongs doesn't make it right.

I want to finally nail the coffin over the issue of the proprietary of EFCC freezing the account of a sitting governor in Nigeria.

Many commentators, articles and social media post were writing by persons who know little or nothing about the law on immunity while some merely copied and pasted and assumed the position of attorneys at law.


For the avoidance of doubt, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which is the ground norm and the supreme law of the law provides that the president, vice president, governors and deputies are protected from civil or criminal trials while in office. It is trite law that any law inconsistent with the constitution shall be null and void to the level of its inconsistency. Meaning that not the entire law is void but that particular paragraph of the law which contravenes the constitution.

On the other hand, the EFCC Act which is a law subject to the constitution provides that the EFCC can investigate and freeze the account of anybody not withstanding any law. Now that's the problem of the EFCC Act. It cannot be above the constitution such that it oust the operation of the provisions of the constitution against it.

For those who doesn't know how an account is frozen, the EFCC must obtained an order of court ex parte to enable it freeze an account. Court processes must be filed and a judge in chambers will hear the application and grant it and same will be served on the bank to freeze the account. The owner of such account is a party to that proceeding even though at that time he is not to be heard as the application is being heard without his notice.

This point in my above paragraph is where the judge and the EFCC officials got it wrong. They have powers to investigate but they are barred from filing any process against the governor leading to his account frozen. No matter how suspicious the account looks like, once it is in the name of Ayodele Fayose who is a sitting governor, they cannot freeze it. That is the law.

The president swore to uphold the law and sworn by the Constitution and not the EFCC Act and he should therefore be seen to be protecting the constitution he swore to uphold. Anything else is pure politics and its a very dangerous trend and precedent he is setting.
