#Even OBJ knows SALAMIGATE - The wuruwuru judgement that made Fayemi governor...

Hear Obasanjo speaking today.

Obasanjo said, “I was reading today when the President (Muhammadu Buhari) said the EFCC should stop losing cases. They lose cases for a number of reasons.

“One, they engage more of outside lawyers. I believe that they need staunch, `Ogbologbo'(seasoned) lawyers inside that will do the work.

“If I am a lawyer and I want the opponent to win a case, what I will file will be `wishy washy. And if I file a `wishy washy’ case, the opponent will see the loophole and he will get out of it. I believe that it is important.

“Secondly, thorough investigation is very important. Now, investigation must be thorough, it must be proper and it must be really taken seriously.

"...Our judges must be committed in fighting corruption.

“They must be committed to fighting corruption. Because if the investigation is very sound and you have `ogbologbo’ lawyer to handle the case, if you have SALAMIGATE, you know what the answer will be.

“So it is a chain: investigation, prosecution and the judiciary. If there is weakness along this line, chances are that corruption cases will continue to be lost, “he said.

If you don't know what is called SALAMIGATE, let me tell you.

SalamiGate is Justice Isa Ayo Salami  judicial magomago  judgement of the Appeal Court, Ilorin that made Dr Kayode Fayemi governor of Ekiti State.

Fayemi never won the 2009 rerun governorship election. Rather, he was awarded victory by Justice Salami after cancelling votes in 6 wards where PDP candidate, Engr Segun Oni won.

Records of telephone calls and sms between Justice Salami and APC chieftains like Lai Mohammed were later made public vis Justice Salami's roles in the Sokoto State election case, leading to his (Salami) suspension by the National Judicial Council (NJC).

Today in Abeokuta, Obasanjo brought back the memory of SALAMIGATE and I hope Fayemi can defend this by taking OBJ up on what he meant by Salamigate.

If you live in glass house, don't throw stones.
