FG Charges Ekweremadu, Akpan With Refusal To Declare Assets by ijustdey: 2:08pm On Oct 10, 2018
Ade Adesomoju , Abuja



The Federal Government has charged the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu , and Senator Bassey Akpan , who represents Akwa Ibom North- East Senatorial District in Akwa Ibom State, with offences bordering on their alleged refusal and negligence to declare their assets to the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property.

On Wednesday, Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court in Abuja where two separate sets of charges were instituted against the senators , ordered that the charges and other accompanying papers be served on the two of them through the Clerk of the National Assembly.

The judge, after granting the orders for service through substituted means , fixed October 22 for the next hearing date in respect of Ekweremadu ’ s case and November 19 for Akpan's.

The Okoi Obono - Obla - led SPIPRPP had, on behalf of the Federal Government , filed the two separate criminal suits containing two counts each against the senators.

It filed the criminal suit marked FHC/ ABJ / CR/ 62/ 2018 against Ekweremadu on May 11, 2018, while it instituted the one marked FHC/ABJ /CR /88 /2018 against Akpan on June 13, 2018.

The Nigeria system needs total rehabilitation, and president buhari is not the right leader to do that. You don't fight corruption by fighting only your enemies or opposition. Fight a good fight that nature will be proud of.
pray for a better Nigeria

Im bafflled by the effontery and temerity of these creatures called yorubas in the past few days, and I ask myself few questions:

Why are yorubas suddenly interested in the PDP vice president slot- A party they so much loathe and detest

Why do they suddenly want to produce a running Mate to Atiku Abubakar? -A man they hate so much hate, call currupt and insults at the slightest opportinty

Why do yorubas suddenly fall in love with PDP since after the primaries that They are now advising PDP on what to do if they want to Win next years elections?-yorubas now find PDP so appealing an irresistable. Interesting isn't it?

Yorubas by nature are very cunny, mischievious, greedy, selfish, treacherous and deceptive. They have this overbloated sense of self-worth and value. Isn't it unbelievable that despite the fact that no south West state is currently giverned by PDP, yet these greedy people are asking for the VP slot under PDP on a platter of gold, where is that done?

Isn't it unbelievable that the south East and south south that has provided the much needed viable opposition to this current govt aren't even shooting for the VP slot unlike these loquacious and greedy yorubas? You now ask yourself, on what basis are the Yorubas asking for VP? Why exactly do the yorubas want to reap where they did not sow?

This is a region that cannot guarantee you electoral advantage or block votes, a region that always sits on the fence and votes are shared 50:50, a region that can't give you a landslide, a region whose votes are inconsequential and can't guarantee you victory

Their overbloated ego and Pride won't allow them see that the large number of voters in Lagos for example has been largly neutralised by the presense of Igbos and other tribes which constitute a substantial number of eligible voters as opposed to states in other region where eligible voters by tribe are homogenous, so those talking about South West having more voters are grossly ignorant and largely unreasonable.

The worst mistake PDP and Atiku will make is taking a non-igbo as VP or from any region other that the south East. That will cast a death knell on the PDP's ambition of defeating this evil and incompetent APC govt. The south East is not short of credible, capable, competent, prolific, proven and eminently qualified candidates to fill in the VP slot of the PDP. Any thing short of an Igbo VP candidate will result not just in voters apathy and boycott, but a considerable number that will vote will vote for APC, just to ensure that the PDP self-destruct is completed

Buhari led government is a total failure, gross misfortune and monumuntal disaster of garguantuan proportions. Only mentality deranged persons would want this inept, incompetent and incorrigible government to continue in office for another 4years

The attempt by a few misguided yorubas to hoodwink the PDP into making this grave mistake of fielding a Yoruba vice will not fly. They know it will be an easy coast for buhari and APC if PDP dare make the mistake of picking a yoruba vice . We see through your greed and deceit, gone are the days when people fall for your cheap lies and propaganda. People have become wiser now. Atiku + an Igbo VP candidate is a done deal if we are to oust the lifeless one and send him back to daura through a cow ride

A word is enough.....

Ekweremadu is a liability as VP.
Removing Buhari is a serious task and no liability should be in the ticket of Atiku.

Really? Just because of asset declaration?

What about the fellow that used billions to clear the grass/bushes @ the presidential villa?

What about the pension funds that went missing under Maina? etc etc and so many more...

Has Buhari done anything against them?

If Ike has 22 houses, then Rotimi has 500. This is selective witch-hunting and it never ends well with the instigator. Ask Google.

Buhari is bereft of strategy. Checkout https://www.nairaland.com/4780662/governor-abdullahi-ganduje-caught-receiving

If he doesn't sack and dismiss Ganduje...then he must be awarded by the Guniess Book of Record as the Biggest Hypocrite!
