U no go kill person with laugh.

What's with the judges taking sides? You've done your job, the panel declared Achuba wasn't culpable in the allegations levelled against him but the HOS decided to remove him nonetheless. Its no longer your business. If Achuba felt cheated let him approach the court, the issue of not wanting to swear in a new deputy is Now becoming a political grandstanding to me!!

Let even concede that he was indeed found wanting by the panel. The next layer of the process is for the nominated deputy governor to appear for screening before the same house of assembly, after which
the chief judge of the state or his equivalents can perform the final rite. All things being equal, the nominee Chief Edward David Onoja will appear for screening today. Thereafter, he will be sworn-in. The writer is only doing a hatchet job to scare the judges from coming forward to conduct the oath taking. This concoction has been trending on all social media since Mr Simon Achuba was removed.

Hahahàhahahahahahahahahaha .....

I wonder yet people will still line up to vote Bello,He is beyond redeemable and above disaster

Great!!! His former deputy( Hon. Simon Achuba) is still been owed arrears to the tune of N1 billion before he was impeached by the house and placed on house arrest.
What a state!!!

Legally speaking ,the deputy governor designate should be sworn in immediately.I dont see any reasons why he shouldn't be sworn in.The constitution empowers the House of Assembly to impeach the governor or deputy.The constitution does not state there must be a particular reason for impeachment.The panel report does not stop the House of Assembly from carrying out its constitutional duty.Even if the deputy governor did nothing wrong ,it doesn't remove the constitutional backing that the House of Assembly has to impeach him.Legally speaking ,the House of Assembly has done nothing wrong and there should be no problem swearing in the deputy governor designate.

I dislike Yahaya Bello but we have to be clear about the rule of law.

It Is Good This Is Happening Just Before The Election, So Kogi People Can Now Decide Whether To Retain The Frog Eye Or To Send Him Packing

fergie001:
• Vested interests search for amenable judge. • Panel members ‘turn down juicy offers to write indicting report’ against Achuba

The Kogi State government appears to be facing an uphill task in getting the newly handpicked Deputy Governor designate Edward Onoja, sworn in as required by the Constitution.

Onoja, who is Governor Yahaya Bello’s running mate in next month’s election, was named on Friday as successor to Mr. Simon Achuba.

Achuba was impeached by the State House of Assembly within hours of the submission of the report of the panel raised by the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Nasiru Ajana to investigate the allegations against him.

The panel headed by a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr. John Baiyesha, had cleared Achuba of all the allegations against him.

Authoritative sources in the State said judges are reluctant to inaugurate Onoja because of the panel’s clearance of Achuba of the allegations against him.

The panel said allegations of misappropriation of funds and non-compliance with extant financial regulations by the Deputy Governor were not proved.

The report said in part: “In line with Section 188 (8 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) quoted herein before, we hereby report to the Kogi State House of Assembly that the allegations contained in the Notice of Allegations admitted in evidence by this Panel as Exhibit C7 have not been proved.”

There is now suspense over who will administer the oath of office on Edward Onoja.

Section 185 (2) of the Constitution provides thus: “the Oath of Allegiance and the oath of office shall be administered by the Chief Judge of the State or Grand Khadi of the Sharia Court Appeal of the State, if any, or president of the Customary Court of Appeal of the State, if any, or the person for the time being respectively appointed to exercise the functions of any of those offices in any state.”

Most of the judges are scared of getting sanctioned by the National Judicial Council (NJC) for acts considered to run contrary to the letters and provisions of the Constitution.

Chief Judge Ajana is an adherent to the spirit and letters of the Constitution and it has been difficult for the state government to approach him to administer the oath on Onoja.

Sources said on Saturday that some political forces were shopping for either an amenable judge or the President of the Customary Court to swear in the new Deputy Governor.

Investigation by our correspondent revealed that neither the State House of Assembly nor Governor Bello had notified the Chief Judge yesterday of the removal of Achuba.

It was learnt that some forces in the state had been working on permutations on how to inaugurate Onoja without the Chief Judge.

A reliable source said: “The truth is that the Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Mr. Simon Achuba was purportedly removed behind closed doors barely 30 minutes after a seven-man panel, set up by the Chief Judge, submitted its report.

“The panel, headed by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. John Bayelsa, said in clear terms that the Deputy Governor, Achuba, was not guilty of all the allegations contained in the impeachment notice of the House of Assembly. Therefore, there was no condition precedent for the removal of Achuba.

“Assuming, but not conceding that the allegations were true, the 1999 Constitution allows a 14-day grace before any impeachment proceedings can be initiated. The Assembly got a report within 30 minutes and sacked Achuba from office.

“Section 188 (8 and (9) of the constitution says: ‘Where the Panel reports to the House of Assembly that the allegation has not been proved, no further proceedings shall be taken in respect of the matter.

“Where the report of the Panel is that the allegation against the holder of the office has been proved, then within 14 days of the receipt of the report, the House of Assembly shall consider the report and if by a resolution of the House of Assembly, supported by not less than two-thirds majority of all its members, the report of the Panel is adopted; then the holder of the office shall stand removed from office as from the date of the adoption of the report.”

Another source said the illegality behind the removal of the Deputy Governor accounted for the stalemate over the swearing in of the new Deputy Governor.

The source added: “Up till now neither the House of Assembly nor the state government has notified the Chief Judge of the state of the removal of the Deputy Governor by the lawmakers.

“They are finding it difficult to prevail on the CJ, Justice Nasiru Ajana to set machinery in motion to inaugurate the purportedly nominated new Deputy Governor, Edward Onoja. They know Ajana is a stickler to the law and he will abide by the report of the panel he put in place.

“Some political forces in the state are now working on other alternatives to administer oath of office and allegiance on Onoja.

“They are considering using a judge of the State High Court, the President of the Customary Court of Appeal if any in the state, a judge from outside the state or a Chief Magistrate or any magistrate.

“Most judges in the state have been distancing themselves from the push to swear in Onoja. They do not want to be sanctioned by the National Judicial Council (NJC) and ruin their career. We have suspense everywhere.

“They are desperately looking for an amenable judge now to inaugurate Onoja.”

Meanwhile, there were indications that members of the seven-man panel, which cleared Deputy Governor Achuba, rejected inducement from some influential forces in the state.

A source in the panel said: “They came with all manners of inducement but we decided to be conscientious. We stuck to the truth because the allegations against Achuba were not proven.

“All our allowances were not paid since we started the inquiry based on our body language that we will not compromise.”

Righteousness89:
If JESUS Tarries, Governor Bello of Kogi looks like a Governor that will be caged behind Kuje prisons walls in years to Come...

I have never wished anyone (not even my worst enemy) death in my entire life until Yahaya Bello. Doom awaits him.
-
What that m.oron is doing to Kogites is unbelievable. When you criticize him they say it's because someone you know was screened out as ghost worker by him but No. My dad was screened in but yet he no dey see him money collect on time and in full.
-
And for this Edward son of the soil conniving with him to punish his fellow Igalas and doing things against the soil, same soil will fight against him. He has quickly forgotten that the Igala people are one very spiritual people.

Esseite:
Our one trial of a youth as Governor and this dolt came up..

I tell you my brother. The Nigerian youth with inordinate ambition cannot rule. What Yahaya Bello is doing with the monies meant for Kogi people is unheard of and he will pay dearly for the agony he has brought upon the land.

backnbeta:
So much disrespect for the rule of law under this administration! Kogi people should just carry their Bello cross in silence for the next four years because he has federal backing and he's not afraid to flaunt it

See you...

Do you know that same federal backing can also dissapoint him due to the widespread criticisms against him. Las las, APC may just exchange Bayelsa with Kogi to protect their image small.

You must be senseless to understand that your Ebira Yahaya Bello is unsellable despite attempts to sell him and gain support. Why not just eat the bribes and money he has bought you with and not drum support or vote for him. No, your tribalism has blinded you to the point that you support him even as his misrule affects you Ebiras too.

dinachi:

I pity Kogi people. They will never rise. The state is cursed with foolish leaders.

Audu was an exception. He tried while in power and had big plans before his demise which led the state into all these.

israelmao:
This step taken by Bello to organize a phantom and unconstitutional impeachment against his deputy may consume him and even drive nail into his coffin.

He is young and dumb. What is more annoying is APC watching and not even making a move to at least save the image of their party by dealing with the m.oron despite the widespread criticisms against him. Very anyhow government. Maybe they want to do that by exchanging Bayelsa for Kogi in November.

He is currently in court for disqualification for double registration. Instead of APC to do one thing right for the masses to cheer and applaud by making the law disqualify him and save the image of the party small, they won't. Because they won't have a candidate?

They had options and were condemning him before the party's primary but when he loaded them with money, they allowed him emerge for the party and are now behind him.

MNDY:


See you...

Do you know that same federal backing can also dissapoint him due to the widespread criticisms against him. Las las, APC may just exchange Bayelsa with Kogi to protect their image small.

Public outcry won't bother them, they are also not swayed by the voices of the people! But like I join the likes of you in hoping they'll allow Kogi to decide

What's with the judges taking sides? You've done your job, the panel declared Achuba wasn't culpable in the allegations levelled against him but the HOS decided to remove him nonetheless. Its no longer your business. If Achuba felt cheated let him approach the court, the issue of not wanting to swear in a new deputy is Now becoming a political grandstanding to me!!

If a judge can't uphold the rule of law who else will? Have you ever heard of separation of powers? A judge can't endorse illegality

Legally speaking ,the deputy governor designate should be sworn in immediately.I dont see any reasons why he shouldn't be sworn in.The constitution empowers the House of Assembly to impeach the governor or deputy.The constitution does not state there must be a particular reason for impeachment.The panel report does not stop the House of Assembly from carrying out its constitutional duty.Even if the deputy governor did nothing wrong ,it doesn't remove the constitutional backing that the House of Assembly has to impeach him.Legally speaking ,the House of Assembly has done nothing wrong and there should be no problem swearing in the deputy governor designate.

I dislike Yahaya Bello but we have to be clear about the rule of law.

Rule of law?
Read this:

Section 188 (8 and (9) of the constitution says: ‘Where the Panel reports to the House of Assembly that the allegation has not been proved, no further proceedings shall be taken in respect of the matter.

Even in military era there is opposition, this one doesn't even allow the gathering of opposition elements in the state especially the region he came from (okene) you're a gonna to be a supporting fan of opposition, may god liberate my people they're suffering but no one is ready to here their cry from abuja o God save my people from the hand of tyrant

Yeye Bello is playing dirty politics in Kogi while Buhari and Apc look the other side..

Bello should remember life after service

Looking the other way or they want to back his activities with a ten billion Naira election aid.

The Kogi governor should do the right thing by recalling his sacked deputy governor back if not history won't forgive him.
