i will rather believe orubebe than that serial thief Amaechi

Well i will believe Ameachi cos as a Governor he can easily inflate the figure than to collect bribe before awarding contract, But in Orubebe's case he can collect since he have to report to the President before the money will be released.

Were you not talking about states and bailout anymore, bloody LIAR

shut up and face the fact, why is the federal govt owing federal civil servant under GEJ for months? You think you are talking to gullible person like yourself? The most corrupt Govt in Nigeria is that of GEJ so shut up.

woodboi:
How long will it take to process an accuse person? all we keep hearing is corruption! corruption!! for 6 months now, no action... he only have 4 years and let me break it down for you, 70% of Nigerian politicians are corrupt, I remember when folks were yelling create more prison, homie is yet to convict 1 person till date.

haha it's only a fool like you that are shouting up and down. How many people did your GEJ prosecute and jail? Under him stealing is not corruption. So far so many cases in court and they also have strong defense and mind you PMB said he does not want to interfere in the judiciary and rule of law should take it course.

woodboi:
I am talking about jailing and not ordering arrest, which we are even sure off.

so you want him just to jail without due process so you and your likes will be crying and shouting dictator abi?

woodboi:
please say the name, we are on nairaland not Google.

Is that why the Dullard from Daura:

- gave bailouts to governors who stole our money to fund his campaign?
- continues paying subsidy to the cabal despite saying he knows nothing about subsidies?

the bail out was to pay salaries since GEJ does not pay allocation using the money to campaign. Beside the bail out was for every states including your so call PDP states.

excess4luv:
so those returning monies codedly are corrupt free in APC sight.
Buhari should wake up to the challenges of this country

Do you remember the post election campaign of people calling PMB dictator, leopard that will not change his skin etc. so people who loot and return money does not mean they are not corrupt but will get safe landing if not your likes will be shouting dictator, witch hunting, bla bla. Return your loot and go and sin more. Mind former president GEJ says stealing is not corruption.

woodboi:
Turn by Turn abi... how many people has been jailed, if its takes 6months without anybody in jail, the mandate given to APC is it forever?

hahha you are not conversant , the first person to be jailed was his Inlaw his wife brother. Google it and confirm.

well if you are expecting 100% Saint in PMB cabinet then you are living in denial, remember the president does not want to appoint minister but the constitution does not permit him. So he has to go for lesser devil and people he can control in his Government. Even if you are corrupt in the past you have to change in this Government.

damton:
. which presidency is he fighting. The presidency has nothing to do with these. perhaps , you meant some APC caucus in the senate

He go against his party and the presidency order and have to pay for it. Though the government are fighting corruption and he just brought him self into the net with his past remember the president independence speech. Fear the action of your past.

Hahaha I argue about this with a friend last week that's it's turn by turn and everyone corrupt will be touched even Ameachi if he is truly corrupt...

it's a gradual process and mind you some have been returning money coded those are the wise among them all.

damton:
.Aaah. you think he cares, as long as he remains at the helm of affairs

And how will he remain at the helm of affairs fighting the presidency that have every evidences against him.

So now a Lawyer doing his job makes him a criminal or corrupt? That's his profession and was hire to do a job and defend his client and it's left for the court to decide so no big deal in this at all.

damton:
. so you think he wouldn't appeal the verdict of the CCT after hearing the case. I don't think so

doing that will even make matter worst for him as they will see him more as greed and over ambitious man.

Opinedecandid:
He is still going down?
Yet you are saying he had no choice?
And you really think APC didn't deceive him into accepting to confirm Amaechi that all will be well with him?

were you there when APC promise him? You seem don't get me, FG Govt have power over everything here. If Saraki confirmed Ameachi or not that does not change anything but but might receive a soft landing at the CCT. If Saraki did not confirm Ameachi that will make matter worst more cos the Appeal court will still throw out his case and CCT will unseat him and ask him to vacate Senate completely. But in this case they cannot just throw out the car just like that base what they perceive about Saraki nursing of 2019. After confirming Ameachi they might unseat him but will still remain as a floor member. So in the case Saraki will rather dance to the APC and the Presidency tune than to that of the PDP SENATORS cos there is nothing that can do to safe him and following the PDP will make matter worst.

damton:
Saraki trying to evade justice. he keeps dragging the case.

Anyway, that's the trick. He'll probably last a 4 year tenure as long as there is always the option of Appeal

Supreme court is the last he can go and any judgement he get is finall.

Opinedecandid:
Okay.

All of you that spewed nonsense against PDP senators in the former thread while applauding Saraki for confirming corrupt Amaechi and insulting Uguru.
This is when you will know how your Apc can use and dump one of their own.
We shall know who will laugh last, between APC and PDP Senators.

Again, when events which are obviously no co incidents unfold like this: Appeal Court having to adjourn hearing on the CCT against the Senate President only after he has confirmed the nominees of Mr President and other make-believe coincidental body 'ordours' of the present administration, it calls for real thoughtfulness.
Can they deny manipulating the Judiciary again?
Could the Chief Judge of the nation keep mute, forthwith, an stop crying wolf over Nigerians criticism of the judiciary?
Back to the APC administration and her ignorant council of followers, if this interference / dictatorship continues, even the the present economic realities bedevelling the nation, what future do they think Nigeria has.

Let's get something straight, did Apc actually cease power to destroy our democracy, Nigeria and her people?

Yet folks are all over here expressing blind applause, commendation and excitement.
They seem to be happy that the executive Arm of the APC administration has the judiciary in its pockets, an are now reaching out to the Legislature to turn it to a complete rubber-stamp.

Don't use anti-corruption mantra on Nigerians any longer, five months gone, we have seen that your anti-graft war is targeted at opposite and only members of APC that the party has displeasure with.

You might have been in a hurry to chant 'change' and 'sai baba', because you were blind-folded.
Don't also be in a hurry to chant hurrah on seeing this. It is too early to jubilate. Today it might be Saraki, PDP and other energy of Government's turn, tomorrow it might be yours, your kith or kin.
You never can tell which loyal and subservient, and as such favoured APC member will dare to contradict the party's 'right' or 'wrong' doing tomorrow and because of that, will be hounded down.

Well Saraki does not have any choice than to confirm the nominees, either he confirm them or not the appeal and presidency still have power over him and Ameachi name will be resend to the senate after Saraki have been unseat. So best is to confirm the nominees and have a safe landing. But no matter what he is still going down.

Dindondin:
Akpabio, a first time senator is now the leader of PDP senators.
What happened to David Mark?

Abi ooo I always ask that question why Akpabio, they have David Mark, Donald Duke etc who have been in senate before Akpabio

tinktanker:
n till date after d last news of him been killed, have u seen shekau again?

We haven't hear from him so you mean he is been killed for real abi?

By Ikechukwu Nnochiri

ABUJA—The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal, will today, deliver judgment in the appeal seeking to quash the 13-count criminal charge pending against the Senate President, Dr. Olubukola Saraki before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT.
Saraki

Saraki

The appellate court had earlier adjourned its verdict on the matter indefinitely, a situation that forced the Justice Danladi Umar-led tribunal to defer hearing on the case against Saraki till November 5, to await the outcome of the appeal.

The tribunal took the decision to suspend full-blown hearing on the criminal case after the Justice Moore Adumein panel of the appeal court, on October 21, postponed its judgement without adducing any reason.

A source at the appellate court who spoke to Vanguard on ground of anonymity that day, insisted that the “eleventh-hour deferment of judgment on Saraki’s appeal”, was not unconnected with the just concluded screening of Ministerial nominees that were forwarded to the Senate by the Presidency.

Saraki is in his appeal, challenging the legal propriety of the 13-count charge that was preferred against him by the Federal Ministry of Justice.

He was among other offences, alleged to have owned and operated foreign bank accounts while being a public officer.

However, aside challenging the charge, Saraki also queried the constitutionality of the warrant of arrest that was initially issued against him by Chairman of the CCT, Justice Umar.

Besides, the embattled Senate President, through his team of lawyers led by a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Mr. J.B. Daudu, SAN, wants the higher court to ascertain whether the Justice Umar-led panel subscribed to the appropriate legal procedure when it ordered him to mount the dock and enter his plea to the charge despite preliminary objections against his trial.

He raised 12 grounds of appeal against the CCT, supported by a 16-paragraphed affidavit and four exhibits.

Saraki also deposed another 17-paragraphed affidavit of urgency, wherein he urged the higher court to intervene and protect him from what he described as “a politically motivated witch-hunt”.

Out of the 12-grounds, five of them are basically seeking to invalidate the charge against Saraki.

He is begging the appellate court to suspend the proceeding of the tribunal pending the hearing and determination of his substantive appeal against the Justice Umar-led panel.

The appellate court had on October 8, okayed accelerated hearing on the matter.

Meantime, the federal Government, while urging the appellate court to dismiss the appeal, maintained that it has garnered sufficient evidence to establish that Saraki, as a public officer, acquired several assets beyond his legitimate earnings.

FG, through its lead prosecutor, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, equally told the appellate court that five witnesses it lined-up against the Senate President, have all expressed their readiness to appear before the CCT tomorrow to testify and tender exhibits against him.

Among those that FG billed to give oral testimony against Saraki included the erstwhile Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and present governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.

Specifically, El-Rufai is expected to testify that he was the one that sold one of the assets that Saraki bought in Abuja, which the government alleged that he failed to list among the assets he acquired while in office as the governor of Kwara State.

The prosecuting counsel, told the appellate court that Saraki has already been furnished with all the proof of evidence against him, including copies of four separate assets declaration forms that he earlier submitted before the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB.

Therefore, FG, urged the appellate court to dismiss the appeal and order Saraki to go to the CCT and clear his name.

Saraki had through his lawyer, Mr. Daudu, SAN, argued that the CCT erred in law by going ahead with his trial despite that fact that “it was not properly constituted”.

He contended that whereas the constitution provided for a three-man panel to sit over cases brought before the tribunal, he said that only two Justices sat on September 22 when he was docked.

According to him, the composition of the tribunal was in violation of paragraphs 15(1) of the 1999 constitution, as amended.

Daudu maintained that the tribunal was wrong in assuming criminal jurisdiction against the Senate President when it was not listed in the constitution as a superior court of record.

He described the CCT as an “inferior court”, saying it does not in any way, share concurrent jurisdiction with the Federal High Court.

He therefore urged the appeal court to nullify the proceedings of the tribunal against Saraki and also set aside the criminal charges filed against him by the federal government for being illegal and unlawful.

Nevertheless, FG, bent on going ahead with the case, asked the appellate court to dismiss Saraki’s arguments as baseless and grossly lacking in merit.
Jacobs, SAN, argued that the tribunal was properly constituted and empowered to try the accused person.

He urged the court to invoke the Interpretation Act to resolve the issue on whether the two-man panel had indeed formed a quorum as envisaged by the law.
More so, the prosecuting counsel submitted that the tribunal has criminal jurisdiction hence the use of words like “guilty” and “punishment” in the law that established it.

“We urge your lordships to dismiss this appeal and order the appellate to go before the CCT and face criminal charges against him. We have gathered enough evidence to prove that he made anticipatory assets declaration”, Rotimi added.

Saraki was in the charge before the CCT, marked ABT/01/15 and dated September 11, 2015, alleged to have falsely declared his assets, contrary to the constitutionally requirement.

He was accused of deliberately manipulating the assets declaration form that he filed prior to his assumption of office as the Senate President, by making anticipatory declaration of assets.

The offence was said to have been committed while Saraki held sway as a governor.

He was also accused of breaching section 2 of the CCB and Tribunal Act, an offence punishable under section 23(2) of the Act and paragraph 9 of the said Fifth Schedule of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

FG alleged that Saraki claimed that he owned and acquired No 15A and 15B Mc Donald, Ikoyi, Lagos, through his company, Carlisle Properties Limited in 2000, when the said property was actually sold by the Implementation Committee of the Federal Government landed properties in 2006 to his companies, Tiny Tee Limited and Vitti Oil Limited for the aggregate sum of N396, 150, 000, 00.

He was alleged to have made false declaration on or about June 3, 2011, by refusing to declare plot 2A Glover Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, which he acquired between 2007 and 2008 through his company from the Central Bank of Nigeria for a total sum of N325, 000, 000, 00.

Similarly, Saraki was said to have refused to declare No1 Tagnus street, Maitama, Abuja, which he claimed to have acquired in November 1996 from one David Baba Akawu.

Some of his alleged offence while in office as governor, which are said to be punishable under section 15(1) and (2) of the CCB and Tribunal Act, Cap C15, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, were allegedly committed between October 2006 and May 2007.

His actions were classified as a gross violation of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended.
Saraki has since pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.

They are always united either to lie, Loot or steal. Remember stealing is not corruption under PDP.

Why is it that Ameachi is the problem of PDP, they never complain about the rest nominees except Ameachi and making him more popular.
