Gentlemen of the press, it is with a heavy heart that we have gathered here today to address you over the looming danger that the planned de-tention of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Sen. Ike Ikweremadu over a wanton allegation of forgery of the Senate rules, portends for the Nigerian democracy and national security as a whole.



Like other Nigerians, we read about the planned arrest and detention of Saraki and Ikweremadu in major national dailies yesterday 24th June, 2016. To say the least, we are shocked that the idea of the arrest of the two leaders of the National Assembly was being muted at all, let alone perfected and hatched.

We are reliably informed that Justice Justice Yusuf Halilu who will sit over the case of alleged forgery brought against the leadership of the Senate has already been well briefed and handsomely remunerated to do the evil bidding of the Federal Government squad led by Mr. Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation. All that is remaining for the judge to be done is to slam on Monday, an ‘impossible’ bail terms on the duo of Saraki and Ikweremadu so as to pave the way for their eventual detention and the violent take-over of the leadership of the National Assembly.

The Senate President and his deputy have shown on several occasions that they are law-abiding citizens of this country. The former has particularly demonstrated in practical terms his respect for the institution of the judiciary even in the face of persecution and deliberate provocation by people who are supposed to be his fellow party men. It is therefore unquestionable for anyone to want to take his maturity for a ride by clamping him and his deputy in detention for no just reason other than that they dared to respect the independence of the institution, which they superintend.

It bears repeating that the essence of bail in our judicial system is not to punish an offender but to secure his attendance of court as and when due. A deliberate withholding of such or order of a punitive bail conditions in the instant case will therefore be tantamount to a poor use of judicial discretion. It will clearly be against the principles governing the grant of bail in our courts.

It is no longer a secret that the AGF is acting a script of some disgruntled elements in the APC, but our priceless advice to the AGF and his sponsors is to thread with caution so as not to plunge the country into a crisis of unimaginable proportion. Any attempt to intimidate or harass the leadership of the National Assembly will be staunchly resisted.

We also advise the National Assembly to take their destinies in their own hands. The era of romancing the executive or romantising their excesses should be over by now! Or for how long would the legislators continue to buckle into the blackmails and intimidation of the executive? For how long would the legislature allow their hallowed chambers to be desecrated by a sister arm that does not reciprocate the decorum and maturity that the lawmakers always offer?

We implore the good people of Nigeria to see this altercation in its true colour – executive lawlessness and recklessness! What the Federal Government is doing through some of its minions is an invitation to anarchy, and we urge the well meaning Nigerians to put a final stop to the excesses of a few individuals who have been using the institutions sustained by tax payers’ money to truncate this democracy that we all laboured and fought hard for. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Nothing will happen

No body is above the law!

Buhari will be the last president of Nigeria. Zombies take it or leave it

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof. Nigerians should pray, Biafrans pray too but I will smile in the end_an old man from the middlebelt

let him go and defend himself, did they call me when they were sharing the money

Anarchy Ko, Analog nii

Making stupid stupid prediction, and when d thing land Gbam.. dem go keep mute.

Make tomorrow come quick.

I can wait to see Saraki dragged around like common criminal

The law is above all!

Funny post. The laws are meant for the poor not for political class. Executive recklessness indeed!

Who listens to a Useless party?

The cry of a drowning man. Saraki even paid CNPP for this?......this is no longer getting funny. He should brace up himself for the findings of the EFCC/InterPol on his Panama Papers abracadabra perhaps he will understand that he is a goner. Anarchy ko, alacrity ni ole ifo.

anarchy ko kinarchy ni... Lemme dm rot in detention.. I care-less..

This is just too irritating makes me wonder if anything good can ever comes from our politicians with this their crazy mentalities of always defending madness. What will lead to anarchy now if Saraki and co are detained now. Can someone tell me?

No b only Anachy, Na Ochlocracy



Use**ss Party.

Will you keep quiet (patience Jonathan's voice)
Mr CNPP if you sabi them tell them to start warming up for kuje prison becuz he sure for them pass nepa light.

we are waiting for that full blown madness

Common criminals defending their likes it is a pity some folks will always defend these group of nonetities. If saraki commits a crime he should not only be detained but also jailed. Let see who go die for am

God punish all of una. Greedy politicians. I don't have time for you guys.

With vote in the house saraki can't be thrown out, with court, another person will be sacrificed in order to protect saraki, so why is APC drawing this nation backward when the senates should control thier own affairs?
