Chairman of the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property, Mr. Okoi Obono-Obla, has refuted claims by the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, that he (Obono-Obla) is smearing his name over the suit filed against him by the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation on behalf of the SPIP. Okoi Obono-Obla The Federal Government had, on Wednesday, charged Ekweremadu, and Senator Bassey Akpan with alleged refusal to declare their assets to the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property. Akpan represents the Akwa Ibom North-East Senatorial District in Akwa Ibom State.

IMF charges Nigeria to use external reserves judiciously In his reaction, Ekweremadu accused Obono-Obla of attempting to smear his name “in midst of the current political activities.” But faulting the allegation, Obono-Obla, in a statement by his Media Officer, Emmanuel Nwachukwu, called on Ekweremadu to face the suit instituted against him by the Federal Government, saying that there is no correlation between his non-declaration of asset and the purported claims of a forged Senior School Certificate.

The presidential aide said: “Ekweremadu should face his suit against the Federal Government on his non-declaration of asset. His claim of the charge being politically motivated does not hold any water. “Ordinarily, I wont have dignified him with any response but since he chose to bring an issue that is not relevant to the suit filed against him by the Federal Government to the table, “I think it will be imperative for him to know that I have already instituted a case against the House of Representatives in court over the alleged forgery of a Senior School Certificate.”

Obla, who gave details of the suit he filed against the House of Representatives, said Ekweremadu should face his case against the Federal Government and stop dragging him into his ordeal. According to the presidential aide, he had sought from the court an originating summons, “Whether the House of Representatives of the National Assembly has the jurisdiction or power to investigate the Plaintiff’s private life, including seeking for his personal educational data or other personal data from West African Examination Council; his secondary school records; university records etc., under the guise of exercise of its oversight function concerning the Plaintiff Chairmanship of the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for Recovery of Public Property?

“Whether the House of Representatives of the National Assembly has the jurisdiction or power to investigate the Plaintiff for an alleged crime of certificate forgery or any crime for that matter? “Whether the Ad Hoc Committee of House of Representatives of the National Assembly has the jurisdiction or power to investigate the Plaintiff personally outside the terms of reference which was to investigate the legality of Special Presidential Investigation Panel for Recovery of Public Property?

“Whether the purported investigation of the Plaintiff educational qualification is not a classic case of witch hunt, blackmail personal vendetta calculated to defame or malign the Plaintiff?” Obono-Obla said he has also sought the following reliefs, “A Declaration that the Constitution of the Ad Hoc Committee of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly as constituted to try the Plaintiff or investigate for an alleged certificate forgery is unconstitutional, illegal, ultra vires, null and void.

“A Declaration that the Constitution of the Ad Hoc Committee of the to try or investigate Plaintiff for alleged certificate forgery violates the principles of separation of powers as enshrined under sections 4, 5 and 6 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended). “A Declaration that the Ad Hoc Committee cannot be the accuser, prosecutor and adjudicator (all rolled into one) concerning the allegation framed or made by it against the Plaintiff. “An Order setting aside the Report of the Ad Hoc Committee of the House of Representatives as far as it touches or concern the plaintiff,” among others

Buhari Men at their pull down syndrome

Simple question, where is your WAEC certificate?

Does this man have the moral standing to question anybody on any alleged crime? It is just like Oshiomole calling another person a thief when he is yet to clear his name on alleged corrupt dealings when he was in power. Because he is in APC, court has to force EFCC to arrest and investigate him yet nothing happened. For the opposition, it will only take baseless accusations for EFCC to strike.

Somebody with forged WAEC certificate is talking. I blame that lifeless certificateless animal called Buhari for tolerating corruption within his government owing to the fact that he doesn't have a certificate himself.

While you face your certificate forgery scandal abi?

Imagine the insult and absurdity Nigeria is made of.A WAEC certificate forger talking shamelessly like this

Yeye APC and propaganda. You all have just 4 months to pack your bags and baggages.

Imagine Obono Obla a certificate forger talking about asset declaration. Wetin we no go see for this APC government.

How about your fake WAEC?
