I appreciate your maturity man! You and I have nothing to gain from the either Parties. What we are asking for is; good governance and the dividends of democracy spreading across the classes and regions respectively.
Whoever loots should be brought to justice whether in APC or PDP!
If Buhari is also found guilty based on your "evidence" then he should be tried! No corrupt Politician should be left untried!!!!!

adeyemi2015:
You wouldn't change!

adeyemi2015:
Has he been challenged or alleged officially?

adeyemi2015:
Don't be upset man! Saraki should honorably defend himself and stop playing hanky panky! He should do the needful by resigning and faces the charges against him!

Toluifetutu:
Tinubu already faced his own case and defended himself, let Saraki stop running like a rat and go to the court

adeyemi2015:
By supporting Saraki

adeyemi2015:
Let's call a spade a spade.

sandraokosun:
i see ur love 4 saraki knws no bound, ur mind is made up. Even a blind man knws what he did to kwara, a state he claimed he INHERITED from his father. Its just that in law u still have to call a thief u saw stealing innocent untill the hypocrisy judgement

omenka:
Can you see how you foolishly contradict yourself even on the same thread??

Stop following me around joor. No one pays attention to you- you are too damn dull upstairs.

adeyemi2015:
.
Your Dudes see the allegations against Saraki as witch hunting despite the good job you've done to clarify the issue, however the Progressives believe no one is above the law.

TonyeBarcanista:
His move to stop his prosecution by running to FHC is self explanatory. His excuse of "witch-hunt" is also self-explanatory. He has a moral burden hanging over him though he can't escape justice. The noble path is to step aside and not drag the office he occupies into the mud. Thanks!

januzaj:
if it's not good governance .....what else does it(the word buhari) synonymize

omenka:
Ok, let me admit- I agree with the op 100% on this, especially on the excuses always given by our politicians when they find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

Can't believe I just said the bolded.

sandraokosun:
oga what else do u want he contraved the assest declaration act. Thats guilt already

TonyeBarcanista:
Nobody has convicted yet! We are saying that he should face his allegation. The court will decide his innocence or otherwise.

januzaj:
in this case....saraki is involved...and the word saraki synonymizes Corruption

Emekamex:
The funny thing is that the zombies will believe anything that they are told.

MizMyColi:
Exactly Bro.
You are right.
But many failed to get the spirituality and simplicity behind his message...instead what he got were either those who demonized him or bothered on religious extremes.

omenka:
Olisa Metuh is that you??

MizMyColi:
The earlier Most Christians realize that they have been sold a false concept of God, the better.

Sometimes, it takes leaving the "faith" completely to find the true God.
You will then realize that it/he has always been a part of you....a powerful force/dimension which the world and mind couldn't possibly fathom.

Now that is the paradox of our FAITH.

19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Toks2008:
Ofcourse he is not a learner but a professional traitor.

Read what a senator saiid about him in the build up of 2011 elections in kwara when he fought his father dirty.

"This was further re-echoed by Senator
Suleiman Salawu who said,‘‘ Bukola cannot
bite the finger that fed him. All these things
you see will soon die down because this is
the same person that installed him.‘‘

So that is just the nature of Bukola saraki.

Freestyl:
Saraki should just go and defend himself #period

I told y'all that APC's gonna fight dirty.
All enemies of Goodluck are now having badluck.

Hahahaha APSHIT continue!

Amaechi Paid N22 billion for Advice ONLY to Reject MonoRail


As the Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by the Rivers State Government to probe the sale of valued assets of the state and other matters continued its sitting on Friday, the technical consultant to the state on the monorail project, Arcus Gibbs revealed that  he advised former Governor Chibuike Amaechi against continuing with the project.

Managing Director of Arcus Gibbs Nig Ltd, Wiero Viguezang, however said his company gave the advice only after collecting N22.9bn from the Rivers State Government since its services were enlisted in March 1, 2010.

Viguezang spoke when he appeared before the commission to explain the role played by his company in the monorail project being probed by the commission.

While being cross-examined by counsel to the commission, Dr. Zaccheus Adangor, Viguezang, stated that the monorail project was no longer tenable considering the shortfall in the state’s revenue and the inability of its original technical and equity partners, TSI Nig Ltd, headed by the former military administrator of Rivers State, Brig-Gen Anthony Ukpo (Rtd.), to fulfil its obligations to contribute 80 per cent of its equity holdings.

He disclosed that the state owes his company N1.1bn for its services.
He also said the company had in a letter to the Rivers State through the ministry of transport, in April, made a six-point recommendation to the Rivers State on how to unbundle the monorail project in such a way that the state government can salvage some financial benefits out of the N33.9bn so far invested in the project. The monorail project was originally estimated to cost about Euros2250m.

The technical partner had in its sixth point of recommendation suggested to the Rivers State Government to unbundle the monorail project and approach the manufacturers of the mechanical components and rail tracks in Germany and exploit the possibility of reselling components at a lower price to the manufacturers.

He said the company also advised the state government to consider the option of using the monorail facilities for other commercially viable purposes, mentioning the spaces between pillars and surrounding areas of the monorail project, stressing that the area between Azikiwe Road and the UTC axis could be put into very fruitful commercial purpose.
Viguezang also told the commission that his company and the state government had planned to unveil the monorail project last April specifically to mislead the people of Rivers State into thinking that the project, which has gulped N33.9bn, was still on course.

He admitted that his company wrote a memo to the commissioner for transport to arrange the unveiling of the project essentially for media coverage since the project was “technically uncompleted”. 

According to Viguezang, “We actually wrote to the ministry of transport in January, to arrange for the governor to unveil the monorail project in April for the attention and coverage of the media based on the expectation of the people of the state.”

When asked to clarify if the unveiling was to deceive the people of Rivers State into believing that the controversial monorail project was ready, Viguezang admitted; “It was to deceive the people into believing that the monorail project was at last ready”.

The managing director, however, stressed that “apart from the media coverage and public attention that it is expected to generate, the monorail was not technically and commercially ready. Only phase 1a within phase 1 of the project was ready. So, there was no way the public would have been able to use the monorail as at April when we asked the ministry of transport to unveil the project to the media”.

Viguezang admitted that the Rivers State government enlisted services of Arcus Gibbs at the cost of N600 million from March 1, 2010 to December 1, 2010, after the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with TSI collapsed because TSI could not raise revenue to fulfil the payment of its 80 per cent equity share capital.

He stated that part of its role as the technical service provider to the Rivers State government concerning the monorail project was to evaluate and assess the activities of TSI and give an independent opinion to the Rivers State government.

tonynickson:
I hate howw saraki is being witchhunted

Leyemoshood:
Saraki didnt plan his SP ambition very well,he thought everything will just die down once he's the SP but he has forgotten that Baba doesnt forgive quickly and Tinubu wouldnt take a defeat very easily...Saraki goofed big time on his calculations,my simple advice,remain in APC,meet with the leadership with the presence of PMB and Tinubu especially, if you think Atiku and Tambuwal can safe you on this,you've miscalculated already..party supremacy is the most important thing here

Lanceslot:
“We have resolved to use all available powers under the constitution to ensure that no cabal exists and run the government on behalf of Buhari and we have also resolved to deal decisively with the cabal,” ..... This is getting interesting.

efilefun:
I thought some people were calling CCT a road side court, lets watch as a road side court be making orders a corrupted federal court cant make... who even knew this people existed under the previous administrations. What a pity

You Can’t Try Me In Abuja -tinubu 2011

By Ikechukwu Nnochiri

ABUJA— Embattled former Governor of Lagos State and leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday, declined to either mount the dock or enter his plea to the 3-count criminal charge preferred against him before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, sitting in Abuja.
The ex-governor who was charged by the federal government on allegation that he violated section 7 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Cap C15 LFN, 2004, as amended, by allegedly operating10 foreign accounts whilst he was in office between 1999 and 2007, yesterday, insisted that “the CCT sitting in Abuja does not have the territorial jurisdiction”, to try him over the alleged offence.
Arguing through his lead counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, Tinubu told the Justice Danladi Yakubu Umar-led 3-man panel that while he was a governor, “some forms for declaration of assets were brought to him from the Code of Conduct Bureau, at its office in Lagos. The said forms were filled, completed and deposed to at the High Court of Lagos Registry and same duly returned to the CCB in Lagos. ”
He maintained that he “did not have any personal dealing with the CCB in Abuja.”
Consequently, the ex-governor contended that since the Bureau has offices in all the states of the federation, he would neither mount the dock nor take plea in respect of the said 3-count charge, pending when the substantive suit against him is transferred to Lagos State for prosecution.Besides, in a preliminary objection he raised against his trial, the ex-governor, through his team of lawyers comprising over 15 Senior Advocates of Nigeria, said he “is being accused and/or charged before a Tribunal which is not known to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, (as amended).
According to him, “the mandatory conditions precedent for the referral of complaints by the CCB to the CCT and the subsequent exercise of jurisdiction by the said Tribunal, have not been complied with.
“The amended charge is an abuse of court/judicial process, as an earlier charge with No: CCT/NC/ABJ/02/07, dated 5th March, 2007, containing similar particulars like this present one, is still pending.
“The counts contained in the amended charge are vague, ambiguous, unspecific and nebulous. The charge does not link the applicant to the commission of any offence. The counts do not disclose any prima facie case against the applicant.”
Relying on the provisions of sections 36(6) (a) (b), 36(12) and paragraph 15 of the Fifth schedule of the 1999 constitution, section 3 and paragraph 1 of the Third schedule of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Tinubu yesterday prayed the tribunal for an order quashing and/or striking out the 3-count charge dated September 19 but filed against him the next day.
He listed 10 grounds and attached four exhibits that should be considered by the panel in granting him the reliefs.
Meantime, the federal government vehemently opposed the application yesterday, insisting the accused person must face trial in Abuja.
The prosecuting counsel, Dr Alex Iziyon, SAN, who tendered two exhibits in support of a counter-affidavit he filed in opposition to the suit, said the CCT has the requisite jurisdiction to prosecute the former governor over the charges pending before the court.
According to FG, “the offices of the Code of Conduct Bureau established in the states of the federation are for administrative convenience and do not affect the tribunal’s jurisdiction.
“The accused person/ applicant in this present charge is not protected by the provision of section 308 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 199 as he is not occupying the office of Governor presently.
“The accused/applicant knows the case against him and knows how to prepare his defence as he has been aware of same since 2007 when the earlier charge was filed.
“He knows as a fact that this honourable tribunal is one of summary jurisdiction. The CCB invited the accused/ applicant severally regarding the complaint leading to this charge but the accused refused to appear and was evasive.
“The counts disclosed in the charge clearly disclose a prima facie case against the applicant, this application is frivolous and should be dismissed”, it added.
After listening to their submissions, Justice Umar before adjourning ruling on the issue till November 30, said the panel would consider the application on its merit.
“In accordance with the judicial oath we took, we will treat the matter justly, fairly and without fear or favour. As ministers in the temple of justice, we will do justice and justice will be seen to have been done in this matter”, he added.
Meanwhile, there was no space inside the court room yesterday as so many supporters of the ACN trooped out en-mass to show solidarity to the accused person.
Among those in court yesterday were three sitting governors of Lagos, Osun and Ekiti states, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, Rauf Aregbesola and Kayode Fayemi, respectively, as well as serving lawmakers under the ACN platform
