Stop being a carward, direct your fight to El rufai, what is my business, can you tell what common man in Kwara or Bauchi benefited for having their sons occupying both positions in red and green Chambers

Gbam! We should stop ceeding Powers to regions calling it federal character or zoning?

We need competent people either from the North or south or west. But then, because there's so much hegemonic disunity in Nigeria brought about by neo colonization, it would be hard. That is what they used till now to unite the country but practicing the aforementioned would have been the best.

What did southwest enjoy from Obj? What about Yara'dua? But I think otuoke got a university because of Jonathan anyway, what's Saraki got for kwara state and bauchi with Dogara as a speaker?

Patriotism is lost already.

Among over 40 ongoing projects include Construction of Ozuabam-Ndi Okereke-Arochukwu Road, Arochukwu, construction of Ebem Layout Road, construction of first ever flyover bridge at Osisioma,etc etc.

Apart from the road projects, another project visited which is very important to the State, is the Nsulu Poultry cluster. When completed, it is expected that it will create job opportunities for the teeming unemployed youths in the State. The idea behind the project is to provide a central facility where all those interested in poultry business will come and live. Government will be responsible for the facilities and at the end of the day the proceeds from the business will be shared between the investors and the State.

*COURT ASKED TO BAR GBAJIAGBMILA FROM CONTESTING REPS SPEAKERSHIP OVER ALLEGED CONVICTION BY US COURT*

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, was, on Wednesday, urged to bar a top contender of the Speakership of the 9th House of Representatives, *Hon Femi Gbajabiamila* from going ahead with his ambition.

It was also explained that the ground for the legal position against Gbajabiamila was because he was allegedly convicted by a United State of America Supreme Court for *fraud*.

The court was specifically asked not to allow the lawmaker to stand for the Speakership election, having been convicted for fraud to the of *$25,000* in which he allegedly failed to disburse to his then client in 2003 in US, where he was practising as a lawyer.

The plaintiff in the matter, *Philip Undie* joined alongside Gbajabiamila, House of Representatives, Attorney General of the Federation and the All Progressive Congress as defendants in suit.

In an Originating Summons marked *FHC/ABJ/C/538/2019* brought pursuant to Order 3, Rule 6 and 7 of the Federal High Court and Section 66 of the 1999 Constitution as emended, the plaintiff wanted the court to determine whether upon the construction of Section 66 of the 1999 Constitution and the judgement of the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia, Atlanta, USA in Suit no. SO6YO829, IN THE MATTER OF FEMI GBAJA, was a fit and proper person to be elected to the House of Representatives and to the Office of the Speaker of the House.

The plaintiff, therefore, prayed the court for an order of injunction restraining the House of Representatives and APC from accepting the nomination of Gbajabiamila as an aspirant for the office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

He is also praying the court for an order of injunction stopping Gbajabiamila from parading himself as a member of the House of Representatives and also an aspirant for the office of the Speaker of the House.
Similarly, Undie who claimed to be a taxpayer in Nigeria is further seeking for another order of injunction restraining the House of Representatives, AGF and APC from recognising Gbajabiamila as a member of the House and as an aspirant to the Speakership of House of Representatives.

The suit filed by Ayodele Justice on behalf of the plaintiff is, however, yet to be assigned to any judge.
In a 25 paragraph affidavit in support of the Originating Summons and deposed to Plaintiff himself averred that few days ago, information came to the public domain that Gbajabiamila was contesting and indeed a leading candidate to the Office of Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 9th National Assembly , having been endorsed by the NWC of APC.

He further averred that upon the information , he deemed it proper to carry out a background check on the leading candidates for the position if Speaker of the House and that in the process, he discovered that Gbajabiamila is a lawyer and had practiced in the USA, particularly, in the state of Georgia.

The affidavit further reads in part, “that upon further enquiry, I discovered that the first defendant was convicted and sentenced for fraud and dishonesty in relation to the sum of *$25, 000* belonging to a then client of the first defendant for 36 months.

“A certified true copy of the judgement of Supreme Court of Georgia to that effect issued by Theresa Tee Barnes, Clerk of the said Supreme Court of Georgia, on 12th day if June, 2015 is hereby attached and marked exhibit A.

“That the judgement was delivered by the full panel of the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia, comprising of the Chief Justice of the State of Georgia, Honorable Justice Hugh P. Thompson, Hon. Justice P. Harris Hines, Hon Justice Robert Benham, Hon. Justice Carol W Hunstein, Hon. Justice Harold D. Melton, Hon. Justice David E. Nahmias and Hon. Justice Keith R. Blackwell, on 26th day of February , 2007.

“That it was stated judgement in the said judgement that the first defendant admits violating Rule 1.15(1) of Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in Bar Rule 4-102 (d) is pleaded.

“That the first defendant accepted the imposition of a sentence of suspension up to 36 months as a punishment for fraud and dishonest in relation to the said $25 ,000 and that he also admitted that he accepted payment of $25,000 as settlement of a client personal injury cliams , deposited in his Attorney Trust Account in January , 2003 but failed to disburse same to the client”.

The plaintiff, therefore, prayed the court to declare that Gbajabiamila is unfit and not the proper person to be elected as a member of the House of Representatives and as Speaker of the house.

The case would have been more substantial if this was his first position in Nigerian politics. How can you disqualify someone now when he was deemed qualified for several elections. The court won't be that stupid! Furthermore shouldn't this be handled by the legislative arm of government? Impeachment is one of their core duties or is Nigeria playing by its own rules grin grin grin grin grin

The lice and flies refuse to unfollow the cattle. Since the days of the propaganda confusion, certificate forgery and ex convicts have refused to unfollow the people of integrity. This may be the Nigerian version or interpretation of INTEGRITY. After all the country is phighting kwaraption and not fighting corruption.

Nigerians need to be better educated. Let's assume that there is a case of $25k involving Gbaja and someone else in the US. Has he been convicted? No! Is the client a party to this suit? Another no! So on what grounds is he to be disqualified?

The first step is that the client in question needs to seek legal redress and explore options in Nigeria. What's the locus standi of the people seeking to disqualify him? Are they beneficiaries to the estate of the client? It appears that this is not the case! What a waste of judicial time.

That being said, I could not care less for his person or his ambitions.

Gbajamilia must clear his name and reputation before mounting the position of leadership. This small $25k is now what is staining his reputation. In all your dealings always be transparent
