So all those folks who demanded that Tambuwal resign...are they also going to demand that these three Senator step down too?

Yes.
In addition, the Arewa People's Congress, APC should go to court asking that their seats be declared vacant.

GenBuhari:
Buhari the servant Head of State is waiting for you to instruct him to fix our country:

No wonder this old soldier and his party, the Arewa People's Congress APC have NO idea about how to fix our country except to criticize the Jonathan/Sambo team.
Waiting indeed for instructions.
Such a clueless daft!!!

She needs to see a PSYCHIATRIST and/or PSYCHO-THERAPIST to discover what the issues are and the way to resolve them.

McDonalds2014:
However, a senior state counsel, Femi Adamson, who came from the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation, invoked a section of the law to take over prosecution from the police.

He said, “I am a senior state counsel and I want to take over the prosecution of this case. This is pursuant to Section 211 (1b), (2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended.”

The leader of the police team from the legal department of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Godwin Osuyi, said it was not right for the case to be taken from the police since the police had only sought to remand the defendants in custody pending legal advice.

Is it not interesting the ZEAL with which the state counsel wants to take the case away from the Police

The way they killed Funsho Williams, the real nest of killers is revealing its HIDDEN colours
ProgreTHIEF murderers all!

As a loyal servant of our president b conversant of d doings of d president b4 defending him shallowly..well its (Taken from speech at 2015 declaration)

Is what he said =>

EVIL SHALL NOT GO UNPUNISHED. PUNISHMENT IF NOT BY MAN THEN DEFINITELY BY GOD!

the same as what you posted

The yobe suicide bomber won't go unpunished- GEJ.

baye2023:
The yobe suicide bomber won't go unpunished- GEJ. How do u punish a dead man? #DoroDumbo

Can you kindly refer us to the source of this statement that you credited to our president
Thanks.

Adminisher:
Please take out the military regimes and do your assessment again. GEJ is the worst civilian president we have ever had. On every scale he falls short. Even Shagari built up the military, developed agriculture and was doing balanced development all over the country.

So why did clueless Buhari overthrow his brother

Perhaps IF this your story is true about Shagari's lofty achievements, then it might give credence to the perception among some people that Buhari's coup was to prevent Shagari's South Eastern Vice President from having a chance to become President

iahmed:
that was six yes ago,abeg tell us something else

Fashola, other state governors and lawmakers (federal & state) as well as 774 LGA chairmen were sworn in in 2007 as well.
Can you share with us the asset declaration of any of them

Whynotthetruth:
Aside what the Op posted...I think the content of their speech too made much difference too. Why GMB wasted all his time lambasting GEJ and forgot to tell Nigerians what magic wand he has to solve all our perennial challenges within a twinkle of an eye. GEJ NEVER discussed or mentioned persons rather he marshalled out his achievements with a promise to do more...Let's do politics of ideas and issues not character assassination and propaganda. His support base cuts across Nigeria too as shown by the different support groups....

As for the bolded, =>

Can a man give what he does NOT have

nigerianvenom:
91. We cannot go back to the old ways! Together,
in unity, we overcame Ebola, and in the process
demonstrated the strength of the Nigerian spirit.
And together, united, we must maintain our
vigilance.

This is also a very relevant part of his speech.
Let us maintain our VIGILANGE against those who seek to TERRORISE us.

tinkinjow:
Some pips continue to think that Nigeria is like Egypt, Libya and the rest.
Anyone can save this post, the day Jonathan leaves office through any means other than elections, Nigeria as me and you know it will be gone. Even a loss in elections doesn't guarantee that same Nigeria. Those who think that they own Nigeria are in for a turbulent ride.
The fuel protest should provide an insight. Those who ignored it didn't even do it because they were urged to.

This very obvious situation seems not to have stopped our Born-to-Rule fellow citizens from trying on at least two occasions.
Perhaps being very smart politically they will line up someone from the South South as an interim or lame VP just like Shonekan after June 12

berem:
Another senile on the loose. How many times I have warned your miserable self to stop disturbing my mentions?

If you don't want to be mentioned don't post on a PUBLIC forum.
QED!!!

This is not a Baba S'ope (Dictatorship) gathering of Arewa People's Congress, APC.

Ovamboland:
The FG prosecution team has decided to hands off the case and return his seized assets to him. In this case the court is impotent and by your writing so far many Nigerians are happy one of the looters of our collective wealth is set free

Oga you fit read so abi na another document wey you for don see all this tori wey you dey blow wey nor get correlation with the facts of the matter available in the public domain so far
If na another document abeg share am make we too see oh!

berem:
Agbakoba is currently going senile. Old age is suddenly creeping in. I understand why he is emotional.

Ride on Mr. Tambuwal,whom God has blessed,PDP cannot curse.

Olisa Agbakoba is 61 years old and you say he is "currently going senile".
You are entitled to your opinion no doubt just as we are entitled to logical extrapolation thereof =>

At 71 can we assume that you will also say that General Muhammadu Buhari has gone senile

It is not his age that is the problem, rather it is the age of his ideas.

egift:
Get your permanent voters card and vote out clueless leaders at all level. Time for talking is over. God bless Nigeria.

Great message!

Tribal3AST:
Up APC, fashola didn't equip state fire service or what?.

I thought they said he's performing

Yes he is performing for his POCKET.
That is why the man said he does not know his political future......however his FINANCIAL future is certain.

warrior01:
Op, first of all, let me say thank you for bringing up this topic. But before I go on, I would like to know your stand on subsidy removal.
Secondly, how was the availability of petroleum products during Obasanjo's era and apart from from lagos and a few states how much was the real price out there.
Thirdly, even if the official price was #65, was it readily available? Did the unavailability of petroleum products affect our economy and general output.
Lastly, did the trend continue under Yaradua's government? Please, let us be civil in this discourse so that we will all know where our problems started from and how we can all solve it.

They are not bothered about availability and the implicit volume increase for the greater comfort of discontinued fuel scarcity.
No, they are not. These ENEMIES of progress.
Na dem belle dem face for deserve the peanuts from those who employed them to "confuse the minds" of their fellow citizens
So sad!!!

PhockPhockMan:
You should be sensible enough to know that the aim those causing the problems is stop Jonathan.
Unfortunately for them , they won't succeed.

On topic, the occasion formally starts with national anthem.

I think the ankara dress with Jonathan's picture is a very bad idea.
We need to stop the personality cult around our leaders at all levels. It simply shows how PRIMITIVE we still are.
We should be more focused on building our INDEPENDENT democratic INSTITUTIONS.

omenka:
Which one seems democratic

Perhaps we should ask our "Leader of Opposition" who bought a golden invitation for $5,000 to attend Obama's nomination for a second term by the Democrats

barcanista:
The Court Judgement was based on:

1. The Feb 18 Ruling that said the Police and EFCC can't Prosecute him because the Police was the Investigator in the matter. Not that Ubah was Innocent.

2. It is a Shame that the Federal Government and the Police Did not APPEAL the judgement. They have 200% powers to arrest, investigate and Prosecute

3. Why is Ifeanyi Ubah opting for "A perpetual" injunction if he was innocent? Only criminals follow such route, and only corrupt Judge grants it. Eg Peter Odili

4. If the Government is sincere they would have appealed but NO, they rather "let it slide" afterall it is padi-padi

- Why did you omit the HoR report?
- Do you not have a federal representaTHIEF for your area
- Why can't you petition him, instead of "letting it slide" afterall to you it is not padi-padi, abi?

lakside000:
am patiently waiting for the development this man is gonna promise nigerians today like security, water, good roads and many more, am just waiting , where he has failed us all in his pathetic tenure

Another IGNORAMUS fellow citizen caught on full parade

The provision of TAP water is the constitutional responsibility of the state governors.

83% of roads in Nigeria are under the control of states and LGAs.
So direct your "patiently waiting for promises" to the right & appropriate quarters

bushdoc9919:
The question is not whether GEJ or PDP deserves term 2 or APC deserves term 1...but whether we Nigerians are willing to make our leaders develop our country into a self sufficient, industrial economy with no need for resource dependency.

May I expand your rhetorical question to add that whether we Nigerians are willing to make the NECESSARY sacrifice for the journey as the Chinese, Indians have made and continue to make.

barcanista:
Anonimi have started again, according to your article, UBAH was not completely exonerated. He was awarded N10million for "being in custody beyond 24 hours" in the first article. The court also ruled that Ogunsakin of the Special Fraud Unit cannot Prosecute Ubah because he was a Member of the Presidential Committee NOT because Ubah was innocent.

Your second Article boil down to restraining Injunction and not acquittal. Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah should stop exploiting the court and face his trila. If he was Innocent, he won't opt of a perpetual Injucntion. Read Well

You know what to do instead of maligning the good reputation of our president here.
The court said his persecutors have no basis because RELEVANT reports and agencies have cleared him.

- Do you have a contrary opinion to that of the judge?
- What is the basis of your contrary opinion?
- Why have you kept such evidence to yourself rather than share with the appropriate authorities

HNosegbe:
OP's analysis supports subsidy removal.

Was that not what the Jonathan/Sambo administration proposed after its endorsement by all the state governors

Private Sector, Governors support removal of Fuel subsidy

What happened when the die was cast

Most of us really need to better understand our country so we are not left at the mercies of these "internet warriors" who have been commissioned to "confuse the minds" of their fellow citizens by those who brought our country to its knees and made us a laughing stock in the comity of nations YET they want to return to continue to steal & devour us all.
God forbid!!!

You are right.. One of the Major indicted fellow is Mr. Ifeanyi TAN Ubah. The Coordinator of TAN and Campaigner of Jonathan.

Fuel Subsidy Scam: Court Orders IG, Others To Pay Ubah N10m
FEB 18, 2013

The Federal High Court in Lagos has awarded N10 million in favour of Capital Oil & Gas and its Chief Executive Officer, Mr Ifeanyi Ubah.

The sum was awarded as damages against the Inspector General Of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, the Commissioner of Police of the Special Fraud Unit, Tunde Ogunsakin, the Chairman of Access Bank, Mr Aig-Imokhuede, and the CEO of Coscharis Motors, Cosmas Maduka jointly for breach of the fundamental human rights of Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah.

In his judgment, Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke quashed and set aside the Presidential Report on Fuel Subsidy by Aig-Imokhuede and the Police Interim Report that indicted Ifeanyi Ubah on fuel subsidy.

In quashing the report, the court held that it was not obtained under a favourable condition as there was conflict of interest arising from the report of Aig-Imokhuede.

The court also faulted the police report compiled by Mr. Tunde Ogunsakin who is also a member of the presidential task force which indicted him on the fuel subsidy.

The court held that they were both investigators and prosecutors at the same time and also restrained the police from re-arresting or investigating the capital oil boss.

It will be recalled that Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah had filed a suit challenging the Presidential Report on Fuel Subsidy and his detention in custody for 10 days.

Another development on the same INCOMPLETE story that you shared to obviously DISTORT the facts of the matter in order to create aspersions against the person and office of the president of our country.

Subsidy scam: Court bars EFCC from prosecuting Ifeanyi Ubah
July 26, 2013

Justice Abdul Kafarati of a Federal High Court in Abuja, Thursday, issued an order of perpetual injunction restraining the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, from prosecuting the Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas Limited, Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah and his company over their alleged complicity in petroleum subsidy fraud.

The court further barred the Inspector General of Police, IGP, and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN, from taking any step towards prosecuting the applicants.

Besides, Justice Kafarati, while delivering judgment in a fundamental rights enforcement suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/284/2013 filed by Ubah and his company, faulted a recent invitation sent to the applicants by the EFCC.
Consequently, he granted four out of five prayers the applicants raised in their suit which challenged the decision of the anti-graft agency to re-investigate the complaint that Ubah and his company were involved in the petroleum subsidy fraud.

Ubah and his company had argued that it was wrong for the EFCC, IGP, AGF and any other agency of the government to want to prosecute them over the same issue on which a Federal High Court in Lagos had exonerated them by virtue of its February 18, 2013 judgment in suit number: FHC/CS/07/2013 and a report by the House of Representatives committee which investigated the fuel subsidy fraud.
They also relied on a letter dated February 12, 2013 written by the Police Special Fraud Unit, D Department to the Minister of Finance, clearing them of any criminal complicity in the allegation of subsidy fraud made against them.

Justice Kafarati declared that [size=14pt]the February 18 judgment, the House of Representatives’ committee report and the police letter of February 12 “collectively tantamount to a complete and final exoneration of any criminal offence with regard to application for receipt of subsidy payment under the Federal Government of Nigeria Petroleum Support Fund , PSF, scheme.”[/size]

So you can address a petition to the federal representaTHIEF for your constituency or share FRESH information with the police (SFU) and EFCC on the matter.

Once again your PROPAGANDA attempt that is built on half-truths and outright LIES has been revealed for the SCAM that it is.
As I advised you earlier, permit me to advise you yet again =>

Get real!!!

Do you mean:

- he has not been charged to court or
- the court has not delivered judgement

Let's know what exactly you are saying so one can respond properly.

egift:
Nigeria's have treaties with many countries that manufacture and sell arms. In less than 72hrs, the Federal Government of Nigeria can complete a single transaction in less than a Week. But instead, Jonathan is smuggling cash to SA in a pastor's jet.

Kindly share a few of such arms sales treaties with some of these countries.
Three only will do.
Cheers!

barcanista:
The Anti-Corruption Agency under Buhari will spare no one

Just as he did not spare his Aide-de-Camp Jokolo who brought in 53 suitcases when his decree prohibited such
Bunch of shameless HYPOCRITES

barcanista:
Do you know the meaning of Or? What are you saying? which Transparency when all these figures are projected in the budget? do you think the budget is a secret document? Guy didn't you see the Amount quoted? are you blind or senile? Obasanjo and Yar Adua could Justify their bill but not Jonathan. It is like you don't understand simple statistics or comprehension is your problem.

Yet there is an investigation, prosecution and RECOVERY going on of those who overstated the subsidy
Get real please!

barcanista:
I don't like engaging you due to your off-point tactics. But I will respond to this one.
1. Was there Fuel Subsidy Protest in 2011 when the Subsidy Bill Astronomically move from N673 billion in 2010 to N2 trillion in 2011?

2. When Obasanjo was In Power for 8 years, such scam never existed(or wasn't discovered)

3. When Yar Adua was In power, such scam never started (or wasn't discovered)

See the highlighted.
The Jonathan/Sambo federal administration has greatly increased TRANSPARENCY in the federal government finances.
Can we say the same of state governors, even the smooth talking "excellent" ones that claim the FoI bill does not apply to them

barcanista:
QUESTIONS TO ASK:

1. How did the Subsidy Bill suddenly jump from N673 billion in 2010 to N2 trillion in 2011?

2. Why is our subsidy still in the range of N950 billion to N1 trillion when there is supposed to be partial removal and the Price of petrol was increased to N97 per liter? (Excluding what was allocated to SURE-P)



Please, this calls for an answer:

egift Omenka caseless keneking demdem obiagelli pataki mixty ibnsultan ngeneukwenu demdem ibnsultan berem Louisvangaal mynd44 rawani (and all concerned)

All this your over-analysis would have been unnecessary if the clueless "opposition" had supported the TOTAL corruption eradication strategy proposed by the president- remove subsidy completely.
Even the 36 governors who signed on developed cold feet and their ambivalence allowed the subsidy to continue.

Now you know who/where to direct your analysis to.

egift:
With our Soldiers loosing territory to Boko Haram who have only AK47, nobody seeing any additional new military hardware at the War front and Boko Haram getting paid by Jonathan for fake Cease Fire Deal - Nigerians will like to know what has become of the $1,000,000,000 loan the Senate approved for Jonathan recently?

Also with the Jamboree of Today, its extension in 4 countries and 2000 mushroom support groups being sponsored by President Jonathan to Eagles Square, we all want to know if Jonathan still has a balance and what it was used for?

How many hours do you think it takes to procure military equipment
You probably think na to go Alaba market with the money buy weapons yanfu yanfu, nor be so
