The EFCC can only rant and can't do more than a dead rant .After publishing this false stories, there is nothing else they can do but to wait for 2018 and who knows if Buhari will even be alive then.

Finally AYO FAYOSE IS ONLY AN ENEMY OF APC AND ABTI- DEMOCRATIC FORCES AND NOT AN ENEMY OF NIGERIA

odiks:
You called me Ewu cos I told you the truth which hurts. See, you are part of the people deceiving the Governor. Ikpeazu has a very bad case and the embattled Governor knows this and that is why he is trying to buy time to see if a miracle would happen and they grant him a stay of execution which will enable him remain on seat and be pursuing his case but who says he can't appeal from outside if he has a good case? What is he afraid of?

See, It was Justice Ogbuagu [JSC] who held thus:-

"It is settled that the fact that an Appellant has wonderful, substantial, impressive and arguable grounds of appeal is not a special circumstance for granting a stay. In other words, it is not every case where grounds of appeal raise point or points of law that Stay of Execution will be granted."

Like some said on this forum and quote verbatim


No court will deprive a judgment creditor the fruits of his Labour.

Meaning that if Ikpeazu thinks he will get a stay on monday as temporary relief then he should think again.

Like T.S Ogundaini. ESQ said

Normally, no court will want to grant a stay of execution as a matter of course and that is why an applicant seeking this discretion of the court in his favour must therefore show special or exceptional circumstances why the court must deprive a successful litigant, the fruits of his success---See the following cases SPDC v. Arlio-Joe (Nig.) Ltd. (2003) 1 NWLR pt 845 pg 19, Dada v. I.T.L (2005) 11 NWLR pt.936 pg 293

Secondly, A successful litigant (Ogah) is entitled to enjoy the benefits and reap the fruits of his judgment and nothing ordinarily should be done to obstruct this right. In the words of Niki Tobi , JCA (as he then was) in Lijadu v. Lijadu (1991) 1 NWLR (Pt. 169) 627 at 644, nothing should be done to make the victorious party leave the court in "victory" without victory.

Icecomrade:

Maybe some people understand their rights. Some are not Cowards. And choosing not to succumb to cowardice does not mean they want to use government fund to pursue appeal.

The judgment is faulted and should not be allowed to hold sway. Thats promoting impunity.
It's only a court of final jurisprudence that can issue such order.

Appeal is a constitutional right available to you and Ikpeazu. You cannot excute a judgement that is heard on appeal.

So try a little to hide your ignorance when next you want to react to headlines on Nairaland
Ewu

millionaireman:
What are Appeal and Supreme Courts for if a Common High Court can give orders without option of appeal to quash the High court orders before the orders are implemented?

If that's the case, any High Court can hide some where and order that the president vacate his seat, name Kwankwaso, the runner up to Buhari last APC primary, to take over with immediate effect.
Kwankwaso becomes president, uses government money to buy the judiciary and remains president till the four years the case goes on in court.

Abia people. Be careful. They want to use another means to render your state useless for another four years.

Kennitrust:
Fayose is the targets of this caption!

TippyTop:
Yeah take the President to court and watch the dullard unleash every instrument of government against me.

TippyTop:
The immunity clause for governors is not absolute says Falana. It should be same with the President.
Since efcc moved against Fayose irrespective of his immunity, what stops the police from asking Buhari to produce his certificate?

Pavarottii:
Now it's childish right? But wen APC talks it's an adult movie(porn) right?

MaziOmenuko:
When?

This news sounds somehow. Did Ikpeazu's legal team go back to Justice Okon Abang again? Shouldn't they be fighting for a Stay of Execution from a higher court abi no appeal court open shop today?

This news is really strange. I will await the full version.

ojefkin:
How do they know the year he bought the house. And when has it become a crime for a two term governor to have a house in Abuja. Ordinary director in the ministry have houses not house in Abuja. Let alone a governor. I stand to be corrected it will be rear to see a governor in this present day Nigeria that will not have Building in Abuja. Both past and present. I thought the efcc will tell us they discovered the houses outside Nigeria[b][/b]

MCeeShort:
Haha?

Fayose will be wondering how he got to this mess and will secretly be cursing whoever encouraged him to pick a fight with Buhari.

hakanai:
LMAO! bros hardship dey but that does not excuse criminality or corruption. If a crime is spotted it should be accorded some attention. Particular the corruption that has brought us and Africa as a whole to ruin.

Fayose should also stop wasting government time and come clean with prompt evidence. He should do the needful. He owes Nigeria that as a governor and citizen.

I think he is rather unusually quiet. I think someone got him right this time.

hakanai:
The question would be how much is his salary and how much does he have in revenues from business proceeds from 2014 to afford a mansion(s) in Abuja.

Before we forget I think FIRS should accompany EFCC on all investigations of property and businesses. It will be in order for FIRS to check or ask for tax clearance or payment receipts of the proceeds if verified as legit money.Another question is: did he declear the properties with the CCB?

brainpower:
I think it will be in the interest of Nigeria for Saraki to remain there or someone that isn't loyal to Buhari or worships him to take over. We need to keep the executive on their toes.
But you partisan lots here won't see this. You are all insulting each other because of rice or just plain pride of not being called names.
The national assembly is too big for the executive to control.

AtlanticBreeze:
I don't detest agbakoba but I dont agree with his view on this.. Listen to the NBA president

cktheluckyman:
there is a valid court order from the Abia state high court stopping Uche Ogah's swearing in.Besides the constitution is very clear that once the notice of appeal is filed,the incumbent will retain his seat until his appeal is exhausted

kahal29:
“A Notice of Appeal is clearly not a Stay and INEC has broken no Law in issuing Certificate of Return to Ogah. But they should have relied on the prudential principle by cautioning themselves, giving the fact that they have received a Notice of Appeal, which in itself, does not constitute a stay of execution of the order of the court. However INEC has broken no law by issuing the certificate of return to Ogah,”Agbakoba said.

Rexnegro:
so to You now if pmb didn't apologize senate go base their reason of impeachment on the aid statement abi? smh...when someone try to be sensible by apologizing una go still say him dey fear again...some people reasoning here on nairaland dey really baffle me

iswallker:
are you smart at all. an injunction coming from a lower court to a federal high court cant fly...

its not easy for him to take the case to appeal because he realizes his tax certificates are forged..

SeverusSnape:
So Metuh is my brother?... Wonderful!... So what is my concern with the rubbish you typed?. How does it relate to the issue at hand?

abbey621:
We all know what Buhari is trying to do is best for Nigeria but I'm afraid the task is too herculean for him. If he should spend his entire first term recovering stolen loot and prosecuting corrupt leaders then the economy will suffer greatly due to inability to multitask. Buhari with his good intentions might end up looking like a failure in the eyes of the public if he does not tone the recovery effort down and start implementing concrete economic policies. I'm afraid 2019 is fast approaching and some greedy politician is just waiting at the opportunity to use the economy against him in the election.

OlujobaSamuel:
sincerely, inec is right, it's not an electoral tribunal case, that would have been delayed by a 21days window grace. it's a FHC ruling, except there is a stay of execution, the execution is always with immediate effect, the only exception I think, it's capital punishment, any other ruling is with immediate effect, so appeal of the ruling have no consequence on the judgement except a stay of execution order is chosen.
in respect to ikpeazu not leaving the sit, I hope it never turns to that, he might be arrested, though there might be crisis, but as it stands, the law doesn't recognize him, so he lacks immunity for now, but na Nigeria we dey sha, make we all sit down and watch the series.

Okudiover:
Are you a Lawyer? Do you know the difference between electoral law and criminal law. The 21- days window given to appeal under the electoral laws before an appeal to an appellant court is not contained in a criminal matter. Don;'t get it twisted.

kcnwaigbo:
There is no difference between this case and Buhari's certificate case.There is nothing criminal in the suit.Ikpeazu will remain Governor and appeal the judgement.

ZZZDN:
This is not unbelievable as the court gave a clear directive on the matter. Ikpeazu has the right to appeal the judgment but he is also to obey the subsisting order if at the end of the day his appeal is adjudicated and he wins he will come back. The high court judge gave succinct unambiguous ruling on the matter.

phenase:
Na lie , U can't unsit the ruling Governor. He is still the Governor. He has 7 days to appeal. He will still be on the sit and be going to court.
Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu - The People's Governor.

Olumaeme:
Saraki has no case to answer, he was not a senator yet as at the time the new rule was done, he was still a senator elect, because the 7th assembly was dissolves by Sen David mark.

So all those who came in were coming in as new senators elect, there is no continuity in the Parliament.

The people who are culpable the workers who printed the new rule and distributed to senators...

Abi na saraki dey share house rules?

anonimi:
......as a president who has delivered NOTHING but

- sorrows
- tears and
- blood

to the zombies whom they DECEIVED into voting them on March 28, 2015.
Since CORRUPT Buhari has met a brick wall at the CCT, he has switched his attention to the baseless forgery accusation. Just as he FAILED with the CCT, he will also fail with this one. InshaAllah!!!

timeandchance76:
What I believed is that if standing rules for senate was forged, its also means the house of reps. Standing rules was also forged. Because both election held same day.

knowyaself3:
The clerk said 'by convention and practice and not necessarily by procedure'. And if his claim is valid, then the federal govt is wasting their time contesting the legality of the amendment.
