SeverusSnape:
Saraki may be a corrupt man, But his claims about frustrating the Islamic agenda of Almajiri People's Congress (APC) is true.

Let any of their leader come and refute the claim.

Bloody scammers.

I just wonder how some of you reason, Saraki just come out and say he is the one that go against Muslim/Muslim tickets and some dull head wailers take that serious. Can any of you tell me in the history of AD,AC,ACN if they ever present Muslim/Muslim tickets. Can you tell me since 2003 that PMB have been contesting, has he ever run on a ticket with a Muslim? Some of you need to just reason with your brain cos it's a free gift from God.

http://wiyanigerians..com.ng/2011/09/tinubus-trial-over-alleged-ownership-of.html

Thursday, September 22, 2011


FORMER Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was yesterday formally arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) in Abuja for allegedly operating 10 foreign bank accounts while in office.

Tinubu’s alleged action the tribunal heard was a breach of the code of conduct for public officers in Nigeria.

The trial of the former governor was however stalled as Tinubu objected to his plea being taken based on a preliminary objection, which challenged the competence of the charge and the jurisdiction of the tribunal to try him.
Within and around the premises of the court were tens of stern-looking mobile policemen, who restrained loyalists of Tinubu, who had thronged the tribunal to show solidarity to him. Even journalists had a harrowing experience as security operatives barred them from entering the premises.
After several phone calls to the Police authorities at the Force Headquarters and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, the security operatives admitted journalists in, while Tinubu’s supporters looked on and sang different choruses in praise of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) leader.
While the passers-by were being treated to songs and dance, the real business was going on inside the court with Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State and his Osun State counterpart Rauf Aregbesola as well as some notable members of the South West in the National Assembly in attendance.
Prosecution counsel, Dr. Alex Aigbe Izinyon (SAN) asked Tinubu to take his place in the dock. And as he entered the dock, Izinyon who had filed an amended charge yesterday against the ACN chief, applied that it be read to him.
But Tinubu’s lead counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun, who had on his team 35 lawyers including 10 senior advocates, objected to his client’s plea being taken on the count that he had a preliminary objection challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal to entertain the charge and its competence.
Olanipekun told the tribunal that they were never served with a copy of the charge, but having come to their notice through other means, the accused person and the legal team decided to appear before it in demonstration of their respect for the court and “unalloyed” belief in the rule of law and justice.
Izinyon conceded that personal service is crucial to any criminal matter, but explained that it was not easy to effect personal service on him. He pledged to cooperate with the tribunal to ensure that justice was done in the case. Izinyon also informed the tribunal he had already filed a motion before the court for the purpose of the amendment.
But Olanipekun notified the CCT of an earlier preliminary objection, which it had filed challenging the earlier charge. He said since Izinyon had filed an amended charge, the defence team would need time to file a fresh preliminary objection to the amended charge.
Although that position attracted some fresh arguments, the tribunal was inclined to granting an adjournment as it held that no other step could be taken until the issue of its jurisdiction had been resolved one way or the other.
Accordingly, the tribunal’s chairman, Danladi Yakubu Umar, adjourned the case to October 26, 2011.
As Tinubu, clad in a navy blue traditional attire with a navy blue cap with some light blue strips, was being driven off in measured pace, apparently to allow him acknowledge his supporters, he wound down the glass on his side and waved at them.
The three-count amended charge filed against Tinubu by Kyari Ahmed from the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation read that [b]“as former governor of Lagos State and being a public officer as listed in part II of the Fifth Schedule to the 1999 Constitution and having subscribed to the oath of office as contained in the same schedule to the constitution on assumption of office between 1999-2000 and while in office engaged yourself in the operation of several foreign bank accounts.”
The banks were named as First Heritage Bank, Country Club Hills, Illinois, USA with the Account Name as Bola Tinubu with Account Number 263226700; Citibank in New York using the Account Name of Bola Tinubu & Compass Finance and Investment Company Ltd with Account Numbers 39483134, 39483396,4650279566, 00400220, 39936404, 39936383; Citibank International, New-York with Account Name as Bola Tinubu and Account Numbers 52050-89451952 and 52050-89451953.
Tinubu is also accused of operating an account with HSBC, 177 Great Portland Street London, WIW 6QJ under Senator Bola Tinubu, with Account Number 71253670, Sort Code -40-03-15; HSBC, 177 Great Portland Street, London, WIW 6QJ. Account Name: Senator Bola Oluremi Tinubu, Account Number: 1253670 Sort Code -40-03-15; HSBC, 177 Great Portland Street London, WIW 6OJ.
Account Name: Senator Bola Tinubu - Money Market Account Number 04320002DN, and another account with the same bank under the name London of Tinubu Habitat Oyindamola (Miss) with Account Number 1320960111.
The ACN leader also allegedly owned another account with the name, Tinubu Zainab Abisola (Miss) with Account Number 172447101 with HSBC and another account under the name of Tinubu Oluremi Shade with Account Number 1916667988 with the same bank and a similar account with the name of Oluremi Shade Tinubu with Account Number 41421522 contrary to section 7 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act; Cap C15 LFN, 2004 as amended and punishable under section 23 (2) thereof as incorporated under paragraph 18, part 1, Fifth Schedule to the 1999 Constitution.
Tinubu was also accused of misinforming the conduct bureau by stating that in Form CBB1 that he had no foreign account thereby violating section 15 (2) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Cap C15 LFN, 2004 as amended and punishable under paragraph 18, Fifth Schedule to the nation’s constitution (as amended).[/b]

The party leaders wondered why the police, apparently acting on orders, would deprive Nigerians of their constitutionally-guaranteed rights to move freely and express their opinions within their country, more so when they are not carrying arms or causing public disorder.
Mohammed said: “Stopping the vehicles conveying the party members and confiscating the keys to the vehicles, just to ground them, is nothing but sheer government tyranny against its own people.
“We insist that the trial of our national leader (Tinubu) five years after he left office is politically motivated. The Federal Government-controlled PDP has not forgiven the Servant Leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu for causing the political earthquake in the South-West and beyond in 2011general elections.”
The party warns that PDP is travelling on the road that is familiar to it and would not be intimidated.
Tinubu’s present travail is traced allegations made by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) on October 17, 2007. The bureau had listed him among 15 former governors that breached its code on asset declaration.

Since the tribunal summoned Tinubu, the case has generated a lot of controversy in the polity. His appearance yesterday split politicians into opposing camps on the rationale or otherwise of reopening the case.
While some said that the trial was a politically motivated because Tinubu caused the ruling PDP much pains, others said President Goodluck Jonathan had just kick-started his war against corruption, choosing the “untouchables” as his starting point.
The PDP and the ACN are no strange bedfellows as far the judiciary is concerned. The travail of Tinubu is by extension the long court battle between the two parties. The PDP has come out the loser in all the major cases.

But remember he pleaded not guilty cos he has been running those account before becoming the Governor of Lagos state and never run those account when he was Governor.

coolplanet:
In a nutshell, you feel they are saint abi.Those politicians stole what belongs to us and I tell you sooner or latter,there will be revolution where u fight for wat belongs to you.
Secondly, respect begat respect, never u say I say nonsense. Never!.if you have your fact,u are free to believe it.
Moreso,i am neither PDP nor APC.i need not be bias.

I never say they are saint but neither you are me either, but if you have problem with them sue them to court simple.

Orjioorji:
John Oyegun is a bastard, kill yourself

castrogee:
Ekweremadu is a strong politician. It will be fool hardy for tinibu to think he can remove Saraki and install his stooge, in a senate with the likes of David Mark, Goodswill Akpabio, etc. it is most predictable that if Saraki looses the SP position (which by the way is MOST UNLIKELY) then undoubtedly Ekweremadu will emerge the new SP.

stop dreaming bro, just an invitation from EFCC will silent Akpabio and David mark remember papamapaper against mark and EFCC case against Akpabio. Also remember the forgery case against Ekweremadu. APC and the presidency will teach you guys how politics is run.

TheDevilIsALai:
Saraki approached a federal high court to stop his trial before the CCT citing the acquittal of Bola Tinubu by the same court for the same offence and on the same technical grounds of arraignment by the CCB and EFCC joint investigators.

The federal high Court rightfully threw out saraki's motion and pronounced that Tinubu's acquittal was an error by the CCT tribunal hearing his case.

What this means is that Tinubu's acquittal no longer stands and as such he can be rearriagned for the same offence all over again.

The possibility of Tinubu facing similar fate like saraki in the near future is thus inevitable.

I foresee either Buhari using the same CCT trial to check Tinubu when they inevitably fall out or a scenario when this govt is kicked out in 2019, Tinubu will surely face the CCT.

Tinubu in your blind silly ambitious rage to control the Senate you have shot yourself in the foot by opening up a can of worms.

Since there's no source I never take this serious, Saraki's case is different from Tinubu's case. Saraki is facing trial for assets declaration and there are proof that he declared some properties in 2003 and he bought those properties in between 2006/2007.

seunmsg:
Relax bro, Metuh said more than this and today, he can't open his defence. No need calling EFCC names, like Metuh, FFK will have his day in court to defend himself.

Don't mind those wailers jare, according to the write ups FFK never deny receiving any money.

DonMaxxy:
Bubu's 'Operation Silence all Opposition', season 3 Episode 1 loading...

btw, who will account for the APC's presidential funds looted from the state allocations of Rivers, Lagos, Imo etc? cos "money is the fuel of a volunteer organisation" (Natalie de Combray). Or did APC fuel their campaigns in 2015 without money?

Hypocrisy is when you are involved in the same sin with someone else and you relegate your own sin and focus on the other's. The greatest man to fear is the man who is both an illiterate, a fanatic and a tribal bigot or racist at the same time. He can do and undo.

sorry stop smoking wet weed is not good for your health, did you have any proof of all that nonsense you type up there? Ameachi has ask wike to take him to any court and till now na just talk talk. Also dint you read about how some countries like Saudi Arabia donate for PMB then?

So stop typing jagons here and misleading people.

coolplanet:
Not to be bias.you talk as if you were not in Nigeria before now.i feel we don't need to be schooled here.kindly Google search. Amechi s case is still pending in court set by Rivers govt alleging him of using billions of Rivers money to support Buharis campaign. Believe it or not.
Do u believe, I just read an article that the judge in saraki's case said he made error deciding Tinubu's case.by now the judge is supposed to be in kiriki for judging a case in such magnitude in error.it shows u how corrupt our judiciary is.

Oga stop reading nonsense next time what kind of nonsense article is that stop been bias jor. Beside is Tinubu in PMB govt? Did he occupy any post? About Ameachi, his case is not in any court, wike just set up panel to investigate him and they invited him and he said he won't show up for kangaroo panel if wike has any case against him he should go to court and till this moment wike did not approach any court. So stop listen to yeye news bro.

odikimi:
If you think Ekweremadu has a skeleton, go report him to the DSS. What about the forgery matter?

are you not in Nigeria? Did you not read about the forgery allegations against him?

coolplanet:
U said without pending case.is fashola and Amechi without court cases, yet he works with them.this is just not integrity but witch hunt on opposition or disobedient members.Nigeria is a shame.i forsee the party splitting. Cos of too much power within.i am not a PDP nor APC but an activist.

Can you please tell me which courts or bodies are trying both Fashola and Ameach.

eLcastro:
u didn't get my point tho.,i don't see the senate impeachin the president.,it's a very large task as u stated....very large.,my point is if the senate were clean enough nd the president does something serious as u said.,he will be impeached with the law nd notin.,a soul won't die...

Exactly what I mean but I don't see tha happening cos PMB will always follow the right part, if the NASS cannot impeach GEJ for all that happen during his regime am not seeing that happening now.

coolplanet:
I urge you stop dreaming. PDP might emerge as senate president for different reasons.
First,they need just three supporters from nPDP(dos that defected)
Secondly, they will promise to give the supporters attractive roles in the senate that they would never get as APC members.(unrecorgnised ones amongst them).

Anything can happen. Don't forget the likes of Atiku rules saraki faction and Tinubu is for lawan group so it's gonna be war.just relax and watch Nigerian movie part 2 soon.

Bro I have said this lots of time, Who among the PDP Senators is ready to test the power of APC and the presidency? Saraki did it and you see what is happening to him today? If Saraki happen to obey the party order he might not be facing this problem today. Now we are talking about Saraki who work so hard for the APC compare to an opposition (PDP) hmmmm The person own go worst pass Saraki own and i hope some guys won't be shouting witchhunt when DSS, EFCC, ICPC open the person case file. Remember PMB said he want someone without pending cases to work with him and that was why Akume drop his ambition.

eLcastro:
Bro u still thinkin we in 80's if d chambers can legally impeach the president notin will apen.,the world's now sein opposition takin over as long as it's legit...if the president misbehave he will be treated 4 his misbehaviour...don't even think of that o.,you think all dis rulin party handin over to opposition is their mind.,buh u don't want to be chase lyk gadaffi or mubarak or that ivory Coast president....if due process is followed another that is impeach is gone.....i don't c it apenin tho.,buh if it apens he's gone nd notin will apen..when the rulin party lost nd handed over to him did anyone die

Bro like i said don't underestimate the power of Presidency, The Senate try to impeach OBJ back then and we all know what happen. To Impeach a sitting president is just not an easy task cos you will have to impeach him based on something serious.. No matter how is it the presidency still have that power and all needed to be done is cage those strong senator with one allegation or the other.. Now tell me with the panamapaper saga will david mark race his voice? Akpabio still has case to answer with EFCC same with Jonah Jang, Sam Egwu, T.A Orji also have some allagation against him. Buruji Kashamu case of repatriation will be re open. Bro many of this Senators have one case or the other and they will remain silent. Now tell me with this current NASS how long do you think it will take get the 2/3 to impeach the President? Might take weeks and just one week is enough to cage over 20 Senators who are against the President. Stella Oduah also has her own case ooo.

Abugab:
Dino Melaye has already sold out to jankoliko Saraki and so it is already -1.
I trust jagaban and all APC strategists to play their cards well.
Just open all the PDP senators files with DSS and they will be willing to sign an agreement.

I see the law of self preservation playing out here as the joker.

God bless you jare, I keep asking that those PDP wailers/robot to give me 5 names of PDP strong Senator that will wan to test the power of the Presidency by come forte to be Senate president, By the time DSS/EFCC/ICPC start to dey check their past record some of them will remain silent for life.

apolonius:
Yerima is assuming that all PDP senators will vote for a PDP senate presidency.

The colours of politics are rarely black and white.

The forces pushing Saraki out of office are strategically building alliances with the PDP.

If the PDP is as united as some think,how come only one or two governors attended Alams organised by Mr Jonathan burial?

Has Mr Akpabio not gone silent as the leader of the PDP caucus in the senate in recent months?

Has Kashamu not been praising the APC-led government?

The idea that the PDP is united and strong enough to produce Saraki’s successor is a grand illusion.

Bro you are on point, Don't mind those small pikin that does no know what politics is. With all the number of PDP Governors back then Ameachi still win the NGF election against the wish of the PDP. So many PDP senators will even go against their own when the time comes.

TANTUMERGO007:
PDP is heading to ASO ROCK

this robot never stop fooling himself, I ask you to present at least 5 names of PDP big wigs in the house that can come out and contest for that post and I tell you how the prwsidecy will deal with them. Don't underestimate the power of a sitting president . OBJ own will be a child play.

kodded:
















buhari is a dulllard

Your father is an intelligent man for giving birth to such irresponsible boy like you. But what has your father intelligent did to him?

ki02020:
Exactly

I tell you if dino melaye is given the chance to be new SP he will gladly accept and deny saraki more that the number of time saraki sent money to his GTB account

hahaha funny but true, I swear that Dino na bad guy, He will deny ever even following Saraki to court.

Oxenomy:
My question is, was Tinubu discharged and acquitted?

Tinubu's case was diffrent, Tinubu was charged for running a foreign account when he was a Governor and not about the declaration of assets. Saraki's case is a wow to that of tinubu. They have been defending just one charge out of the 13 count charges meaning it remaining 12. Bro by the time they get to that of Saraki's kids having billion in their account at their teen age una go fear.

TippyTop:
Saraki would win on technicalities just like Tinubu.

Omo Oloye, the Jagaban slayer.

Sorry you fail woefully on this, Interrogate him for what? Did he acquire those properties after he had already declared them? if yes then he is guilty.

chukwudi44:
He is making common sense

chukwudi we no see you for the thread wey dem floor you and your Oga with una lawyer now. Wetin happen?

Achuwa1:
a corrupt judge of the federal republic of Nigeria with an on going investigation of corrupt practices against him by EFCC & also petitions of his corrupt practices both in the red chambers was given administrative bail by EFCC to handle a sensitive case as these,,,,,
Doesnt tht tell we Nigerians tht Danladi umar is playing the script of his paymasters & if he DELIVERS all investigations against him will be stopped & probably he will be rewarded financially by his paymasters.
This govt.of pmb has really insulted our weak judiciary system with all their wrongs since they came into power & the CJN is doing little or notn abt it,,,i weep for naija

I just don't understand you wailers again, there's a thread here yesterday that says Danladi have already been clear of the allegations against him in 2015 during GEJ era. Saraki and his gang just try to bring up the issue again so as to jeopardize the process. Saraki is going down and not alone, he is going down with chukwudi and achuwa.

ibitzbarlow:
No! You got it wrong. She is in APC. She wasn't part of the re-run election. The courts didn't sack her!

if she wasn't part of the re run election then she is a member already and doesn't need another swear in. Only those that was sacked by the court are not fully member until their reelection.

anonimi:
That is what "strong, incorruptible man of integrity" Buubuu has turned our country into oh!
It must be terrible to be an APCshit zombie now.
Anyway, Wailers forms still dey sha. Make we pity dem small.

Mr RObot when will you stop this nonsense?

Pidggin:
If not for the SW's decision to vote overwhelmingly for PMB these herdsmen would not be having this new sense of entitlement. Na una headache bi dat.

So we should vote for the ineffectual baboon instead abi? Sorry we are not complaining.

Achuwa1:
chai!!!
look how the illiterate president is using the EFCC to rubbish our democracy just because they want to punish saraki,,,,
i will keep saying it tht apc govt.is a big joke coz they are never fighting corruption.
for broad day light they have quickly cleared Danladi umar of corruption allegation & petition tht was filed against him coz the senate invited him for questioning.

Arte you this daft or you just lazy to read the write ups? He has w=once been cleared during the last administration. Saraki and those yeye senate just brought up the issue again so as to make the Judge scare and throw out his case it won't work.

dunkem21:
Orubebe's lawyer is right on this ..

Why not also make Orubebe's case *day by day* from 10pm to 6am

Orubebe's case is a one count charge case and that of Saraki is 13 count charge.

DropShot:
This man, how will you feel if it's later confirmed.

By the way, what do you think the Senate can do to Umar if he doesn't honor their invitation?

Soon, you will realize that the NASS role apart from making laws is mainly advisory and cannot enforce anything.

don't mind Chukwudi jare I just tire for the boy, maybe he did not read the earlier thread where Danladi come in late and apologize and promise the hearing will start early tomorrow at 10 am. Danladi don go meet with the power that be and they have given him go ahead that was why he came late today. Pa chukwudi sorry ehn. Ndo

Firefire:
The criminal Senate President should resign immediately, what is he waiting for ? DISGRACE bah ? Bukola Saraki, you will surely be disgrace out. Ole buruku.

As many supporting looters of our common wealth in Nigeria, may your destiny be looted.

wow is this truly firefire? Am not sure maybe his moniker have been hacked.

TANTUMERGO007:
what a great man and a leader, even in the face of all these persecution, he still finds time to do/perform his national duties. it is a lesson for we the youths of this nation, that at all time we should be ready to serve amidst trials and tribulation. at the end he shall be vindicated

It's a lesson to the youth to thief from govt and be brave abi? Contunu.

chukwudi44:
lets see what will happen from Thursday.That is when the real show starts

Bro no show except Saraki will be remanded.
