Chinekepikin: A beautiful Nigerian Lady and a die hard lover of President Buhari was seen crying because she did not see President Mohammadu Buhari during his visit to Kano State Last Week.
Many sympathize with her while others did not take it lightly on her.
Some may hate Buhari, but PMB still got some die hard supporters of him. This is really touching.
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing Mr Babatunde Fashola SAN has responded to the Freedom of Information request by Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) saying that “the Ministry has searched for the requested information on details of alleged contractors and companies that collected money for electricity projects and failed to executive any projects, but we could not find it from our records.”
Mr Fashola’s response followed SERAP’s suit number FHC/L/CS/105/19 filed last month at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos. The suit is seeking “an order for leave to apply for judicial review and an order of mandamus directing and/or compelling Mr Fashola to provide specific details on the names and whereabouts of the contractors who collected public funds meant for electricity projects but disappeared with the money without executing any projects.”
However, in the letter dated 27th January 2019,Seen by PoliticsNGR, which SERAP said it received at its office on 7th February 2019, Mr Fashola said, “We have searched the Ministry’s record and the information you applied for is not held by the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing (Power Sector).”
The letter signed on Mr Fashola’s behalf by Mrs Shoetan A. A, Director (Legal Services) read in part: “I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated 4th January 2019 in which you applied for request to disclose details of alleged corrupt contractors and companies that collected money for electricity projects but failed to execute any projects. The request has been handled under the FOI Act.”
Responding, SERAP in a letter dated 8th February 2019 and signed by its deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare said: “The public expectation is that government information, when in the hands of any public institutions and agencies, should be available to the public, as prescribed by the FOI Act. The FOI Act should always be used as an authority for disclosing information rather than withholding it.”
SERAP’s response to Mr Fashola read in part: “Indiscriminate attempts to limit disclosure of information of public interest such as the details of the names of alleged corrupt contractors and companies that SERAP is seeking, will undermine the government’s expressed commitment to transparency and accountability.”
“We believe that the predisposition by all public institutions and agencies including the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing should be to grant access to public information and not to implicitly deny it. Indeed, disclosure, not secrecy, is the dominant objective of the FOI Act. This objective would be defeated if there is public perception that public institutions and agencies attempt to shield information of public interest from disclosure or abdicate statutory responsibilities.”
“Although we have filed a case in court for remedial action and seeking an order to compel you and your Ministry to release the information requested, we urge you to take proactive steps to obtain the information from any other public institution or agency that may be holding the requested information, and to send to us the information without further delay. Your Ministry should not wait until the court makes it decision to compel you to disclose the requested information.”
“Proactively releasing the information to SERAP and publishing it widely will strengthen the proper implementation of the FOI Act, promote accessibility and openness in government as well as show that the government will not shield the affected contractors and companies from accountability.”
“SERAP believes that it should be the practice of your Ministry and indeed other public institutions and agencies to hold and keep records of public information including on names of alleged corrupt contractors and companies with the expectation to release any such information when requested.”
“SERAP believes that even assuming that your Ministry has faithfully searched for the information requested and that the information is not held by your Ministry as claimed, your Ministry should still have taken steps to approach and request from other public institution or institutions that may be holding the requested information, in line with the provisions of the FOI Act.”
“SERAP believes that your response implicitly amounts to a refusal by your Ministry to provide the information requested, as allowed under the FOI Act.”
“We note that your Ministry has a responsibility under Sections 1(1)(2), 2(2)(3)(4), 5 and 9 of the FOI Act to record and keep information about all its activities, operations and businesses, including on the specific names and details of alleged corrupt contractors and companies in order to facilitate public access to any such information.”
It would be recalled that SERAP had last month sued Mr Fashola over “failure to disclose specific names and details of contractors and companies that allegedly collected money for electricity projects but failed to execute any projects, starting from the return of democracy in 1999 to 2018.”
The suit followed SERAP’s Freedom of Information request dated 4 January, 2019 giving Mr Fashola 14 days to publish “the names of all contractors and companies that have been engaged in the power sector since the return of democracy in 1999 to date, details of specific projects and the amounts that have been paid to the contractors and companies, details on the level of implementation of electricity projects and their specific locations across the country.”
The organization said: “publishing the names will make it hard for contractors and companies to get away with complicity in grand corruption. The citizens have the right to see that the Freedom of Information Act is enforced where there is an infraction of the right to information or a threat of its being violated, in matters of public interests.”
Just imagine the dirty lies from Mr rocket science,so how did he establish the facts he was basing his accusations on abinitio?,crooks forming saints, idiots.
WiLdFLame: Mr man shut up...from the onset politics is all about interest...if you like call in self interest..interest is interest..it a game of numbers the more interest aligns with your interest Tinubu has spoken Go and kill yourself with your imperial overseas master
Just think back n see how much a fool you have made of yourself,you couldn't contradict what I stating because it's true,but because what Tinubu n buhari are doing suits you for whatever reason you don't see anything wrong in it yet you open your filthy mouth to accuse others n call, your devilish masters saints, when the table turns don't complain because it's all about interests ok,I don't have masters anywhere,by God's grace I will remain alive in this country n we all shall be witnesses to the end.
National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has advised Foreign Election Observers to write their reports in peace and "go home".
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress, APC rally in Lagos on Saturday, Tinubu sympathised with them adding that they are 'welcome' to monitor the elections.
His words: "I want to sympathise with our friends, our foreign observers. You are truly welcome. Observe what you need to observe, write your report in peace and go home.
This is our democracy. America is still questioning its own democracy. We are watching CNN, Trump and Russia, China. Interference in the largest Africa democracy is what we are saying. “The G20 in 2007 asked President Umar Yar’Adua, what are you going to do with the election in Nigeria?
"The election that brought me in as the president is flawed and I will reform it. Who conducted the election? Obasanjo, the greatest election rigger in this country. He is an expired meat. Put him in the shop or dump him in the dustbin, forget Obasanjo!"
During the APC primaries,the APC in Lagos under the control of Tinubu refused to allow officials sent from the party headquarters from conducting the primaries as instructed rather the Tinubu gang forcefully organized a crookish primary n claimed the officials from the headquarters were only sent to observe whatever he chooses to do in Lagos!,the party felt insulted n was set for show down but buhari been self centered allowed the fraud to stay because Tinubu was working in his interest,yet characters like Tinubu will have the effontry to accuse others,tinubu's support for buhari n buhari condoning him is all out of self interest, like sani said Tinubu is taking a tigers ride,let him prepare because such ride never ends well,he had been shown a tip of the iceberg before next he would be rammed against the iceberg itself,the result can only be imagined.
Now everyone can see the direction of buhari, buhari is scheming to compromise the judiciary to do his biddings by retaining the corrupt Umar of CCT under the guise that he is not a judicial officer n answerable to him alone!,ok if Umar is not a judicial officer at least he is a lawyer so the NBA should handle his case or doesn't lawyers have an ethics code?, patroitic Nigerians should try to look at the larger picture of what buhari is tryiy to do if this precedence is allowed to stand, eventually once you don't fall into line you will be destroyed even those cheering buhari today should not think they are immuned particularly Tinubu,the way he hijacked the APC primaries in Lagos against the party national leadership is not forgotten it was only let go for strategic reason after 2019 will be demystification n destruction time for him n his likes.
If that's your own idea of leaving no stone unturned then you are dubious n your ways are crookish,you have no right to accuse any other person of wrong doing.its no wonder you are a Tinubu desciple.but come the 16th we shall see,I hope you are not one of Apc's recruited thugs.
dguyindcorner: What's going round on Social Media now is how unfathomable this is for the Atikulooters. The more they castigate Buhari, the more love shown to him.
The case of the more you look the less you see.
With all this so called love,why is the Apc still afraid n not allowing Atikulation unhindered campaigns in their strongholds?.
myboy2111: Video: The Moment Crowd Overpowered Securities at the Gate of the Stadium of Teslim Balogun Stadium to gain entrance Crowd is something here
Just got inside Stadium ...filled to capacity. The campaign is yet to start
A factional group of Ohaneze Ndigbo led by the Secretary-General of the apex Igbo socio-cultural body, Uche Okwukwu on Friday apologized to President Muhammadu Buhari for the announcement by the main body of the group endorsing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar for the 2019 elections.
The group also told the President not to lose any sleep in the South East for the February 16 presidential election, assuring that in a free, fair and credible election he (Buhari) will win a majority of the votes cast in the zone.
Recall that after the endorsement of the PDP’s Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar by the Chief John Nnia Nwodo-led Ohaneze Ndigbo on the day President Buhari visited Anambra and Enugu states for his campaign rally, the Secretary-General opposed the endorsement and later announced that President Buhari had been adopted as the Presidential candidate of Ohaneze.
If the main ohaneze was wrong in endorsing Atiku because of partisanship,is this faction's apologies to buhari rather than the igbo Nation not an act of hypocrisy n psychophancy?.
Flattino: But some online pigs want us to believe that APC and Buhari has been rejected by majority of Nigerians. Chai . Some people will cry next weekend o
pls when buhari/Apc are through,let them just allow Atikulation to test their ground ok.
YomzzyDBlogger: Ghanaian Actress, Yvonne Nelson has shared a video of her daughter, Ryn Roberts' reaction to seeing her on TV on Wednesday morning during an interview.
She said her daughter was still asleep when she left the house, and when she eventually woke up at about the time she was being interviewed live on TV, she wanted to 'jump' and 'climb' into the screen to meet her.
whaoh!,reminds me of when I became a small hero years back when kids in the neighborhood saw me on NTA Minna while representing my school in a quiz show, luckily we were victorious,men when I came back for holidays I was surprised but happy though n I realized why some people are desperate to be celebrities.
Because people like this are the respected scholars in most areas of the north explains exactly why the north remains the reservoir of all sort of problems n retrogression in this country.dullards forming gurus like the oga at the top.
why didn't Ngige stated this in buhari's presence when he was campaigning in the east?,go n ask buhari about this claim n buhari will promptly tell you it was Ngige that made the claim not him, igbos make una think ooh!.
Buhari never wanted onnoghen in the first place so everything happening now is not actually a surprise to me,I just hope this ends well for the country, buhari has elevated himself to the false status of a god but actually there is a God.
Nigeria is such a Bleep up country, what is the meaning or essence of given police number plates to civilians,I use to think this kind of number plates were meant for registered companies n banks but these days you get to see all dick Tom n Harry bearing this number plates n forming boss which is a security breach,same thing goes for vehicle with tinted windows, commercial vehicle using curtains!,non security or essential emergency vehicles using security lights n sirens n vehicle covering their registration plates for no reason,these are things that should be regulated by the police but it's baffling how these things are not checkmated yet we complain of security threats n breaches every day.
No he is certainly not above the law, infact he strongly wish that the law should respected n duely followed even in his on going case right now simple.
danieljoel759: President Buhari has given reasons why he will never write a book. Speaking when he received some Nigerians in his office in the state house recently, President Buhari said;
''Some people said I should write a bok. I don't think I will ever write a book because I don't want to hurt anybody. Hurting in the sense that there are certain people that I cannot resist abusing and that has got nothing to do with their children and their grandchildren. So I don't want to hurt their children and grandchildren. So for the sake of their children and grandchildren, I have left them'' he said
TooMuchStuff: The Imams are the Real campaign managers for Muslims in whole North. Don't ask me how I know this.....i live beside a giant mosque in the north where political issues are the main Gospel they preach every Friday.
Sometimes they read out loudly Letters from Sultan of Sokoto to all Muslims ummah.
This is where who they vote for would be announced on the eve of the election day.
Sometimes religious riots are also planned and announced from mosques in the hausafulanikanuris north.
You are 100percent correct, talking from experience too.
StupidInyamiri: Just read the Reuter’s report that Atiku paid lobbyists to waive his visa restrictions into The US. While some are paid to endorse him, lobbyists in US were also paid to let him in. He used corruption to cover corruption. But he has been exposed
so ATIKU didn't went to the US as an aide to saraki again?,the US is also now corrupt isn't it?,your zombie case is the viral type,very hard to cure.
kahal29: THERE is confusion in the Senate over the filing of suits at the Supreme Court, following the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen, by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The crisis reared its head, yesterday, as All Progressives Congress, APC, caucus in the Senate filed a suit at the Supreme Court, challenging the suit earlier filed by the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, who withdrew it as a result of the intervention of National Judicial Council, NJC, in the matter.
It would be recalled that the Senate had, through its president, Saraki, approached the Supreme Court last Monday to seek interpretation of the suspension of Justice Walter Onnoghen by President Buhari. But in a dramatic twist, yesterday, the Senate ordered the discontinuation of the case it filed at the Supreme Court over the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari and his replacement with Justice Ibrahim Mohammed.
A statement signed by Special Adviser, Media to the Senate President, Yusuph Olaniyonu, read: “The Senate has, therefore, decided to discontinue the case it filed in the Supreme Court. It should be noted that the case has been slated for hearing tomorrow. This decision also affirm the confidence of the Senate in the ability of the NJC to successfully and creditably resolve the issues.”
APC senators go to S-Court to challenge suit
Meanwhile, the Senate APC Caucus has differed from the position of the Senate President, as senators of the ruling party have gone to the Supreme Court to challenge Saraki on the matter.
The decision to go to court, according to the Senate Leader, Senator Ahmad Lawan (APC, Yobe North), was arrived at the end of the meeting of the senators, yesterday.
According to the Senate leader, the APC, which has 56 members, is challenging the said suit and has vehemently objected to the inclusion of its members.
A statement by Senator Ahmad Lawan read: “The Senate caucus of All Progressives Congress, APC, consisting of 56 senators, being the majority party in the Senate, has today (yesterday), Monday, February 4, applied to the Supreme Court to join in the suit purportedly filed by the Senate against the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as interested parties.
“The APC senators rely on the Supreme Court (Additional Original Jurisdiction) Act of 2002, which provides that the resolution of the respective Chamber of the National Assembly is a prerequisite of filing such suit.
“The caucus is, therefore, challenging the said suit and objects to the inclusion of its members.”
If we are all to be sincere, whether saraki took the matter to the supreme Court on his own or not,it would have been better for the supreme Court to have been allowed to interprete the Constitution once n for all to set a case law,but to the APC buhari is god so whatever he say or does goes but tommorow will surely come.
‘CCT boss, Umar, has no pending criminal charge’ Idowu Bankole Idowu Bankole 2 hours ago
AGF, EFCC’s reports clear him of bribery allegation
Chairman of Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, Justice Danladi Umar, has no criminal charges for fraud pending against him in the course of discharging his duties, according to PRNigeria.
Danladi-Umar Dependable sources confirmed to PRNigeria that the purported charge filed against Umar by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, through Mr Festus Keyamo, had been withdrawn on the order of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice since last year.
The charge was, subsequently, struck out by Justice Yusuf Halilu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court Abuja after it was withdrawn by the EFCC.
The charge, filed by Keyamo, was done without the approval of Minister of Justice, Mallam Abubakar Malami, SAN, who immediately ordered that the charge be withdrawn because it was lacking in merit.
PRNigeria has obtained copies of separate letters of query from the Ministry of Justice to Magu and Keyamo and another previous letter from the EFCC that exonerated the CCT boss from a bribery allegation.
In a letter written to the Acting Chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, and Keyamo, Minister of Justice had made it clear that he did not authorise the charge of any purported criminal charge to be brought against the CCT boss, hence the one filed against him by EFCC and Keyamo was a nullity.
In the letter dated February 16, 2018, with Reference No DPP/ADV:368/15 and signed by the Solicitor General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Justice Mr. Dayo Apata, the minister ordered Magu to explain what informed the filing of corruption charges against the tribunal chairman, having being cleared of corruption allegation twice by the same Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Entitled “FR VS Danladi Umar (CR/109/18) request for Briefing,” the query read in part: “The attention of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation was drawn to news report that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has filed charges of corruption against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Hon. Justice Danladi Umar, before the FCT High Court.
“I am directed by the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation to seek clarification from you as to whether the charges were filed on your instruction or directive and if in the affirmative, what is the compelling basis for doing so. This clarification becomes imperative in view of the following background facts.
“The commission’s investigation report dated 5th March 2015 addressed to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation stated as follows: ‘The facts as they are now against Justice Umar raised a mere suspicion and will therefore not be sufficient to successfully prosecute for the defence.’
“The commission’s position in paragraph 2(a) above was also maintained and sustained by the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation while appearing before the House of Representatives’ Investigative Committee sometimes in 2015 to the effect that report of investigations showed that the allegations against Hon. Justice Danladi Umar were based on mere suspicions.
“In view of the foregoing, the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation requests for your prompt briefing as to the existence of new facts which are contrary to the position in your attached investigation report, sufficient evidence or other developments upon which the prosecution of Hon. Justice Danladi can be successfully based.
“Kindly accord this letter top priority whiles your prompt response within 48 hours from the receipt of same is required in the circumstances.”
In the same vein, in a separate letter to Mr. Festus Keyamo SAN, who was purportedly engaged as a private lawyer by Magu to prosecute the CCT boss, was also requested by the AGF to confirm who had authorised him to file the corruption charge against Umar.
ALSO READ: Onnoghen’s suspension Like Magu the senior Lawyer was given till Tuesday February 20, 2018 to furnish the Office of the AGF in writing detail of who engaged or issued him with authority to file the corruption charges.
The letter to Keyamo with reference No DPP/ADV: 369/15 dated February 16, 2018, which was also signed by the Solicitor General of the Federation and Permanent Sectary read in part: “The attention of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation was drawn to news report that you have filed charges of corruption against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Hon. Justice Danladi Umar, before the FCT High Court.
“The Honourable Attorney General of the Federation hereby requests that you kindly furnish this office with the details of the instruction or authorization upon which you instituted the case under reference. Kindly accord this letter top priority whiles your prompt response on or before Tuesday, February 20, 2018 is solicited in this regard.”
Although the EFCC in two separate letters to the Federal Government through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation had in 2015 and 2016 cleared Umar of any wrong doing in the alleged N10 million bribery allegation made against him by a defendant, Rasheed Taiwo Owolabi standing trial before him on false asset declaration.
Upon receipt of the petition from Owolabi, the EFCC had investigated the petition and sent its report to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) with a Reference No EFCC/EC/SGF/03/56 dated March 5, 2015, personally signed by the then Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde exonerating the CCT boss from the bribery saga.
The EFCC report received by the office of SGF on March 6, 2015 was categorical that “the facts as they are against Justice Umar raised a mere suspicion and will therefore not be sufficient to successfully prosecute for the offence.”
Other EFCC documents show that in 2016 a fresh investigation was conducted into the same N10 million bribery allegation and the same anti-graft agency in its second report absolved Umar of any wrongdoing and that the bribery allegation against him remain a mere suspicion.
The EFCC’s second report with reference EFCC/P/HRU/688/V30/99 dated April 20, 2016, and submitted to the SGF and signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Emmanuel Adegboyega Aremo, read in part: “Kindly recall our correspondence of March 5 2015 with Reference EFCC/EC/SGF/03/56 with above subject caption.
‘’We will like to reiterate the commission’s position in regard to this matter as earlier communicated to you and state that the allegation levelled against Justice Umar were merely suspicions and consequently insufficient to prosecute the offence.”
This all in attempt to safe guard the agenda,what was keyamo's response to the query issued him,what was magu's response too,is it possible for keyamo to have just independently file charges against Umar,why has this been kept under wrap till now?, this has always been the pattern of buhari/Apc, always doing whatever it takes to shield associates while destroying others.look at the petitions against fashola, Amaechi, oshiomole etc,you will. ever hear or see any tangible actions towards it,only to be told years later that they were cleared by in house procedures,the government is now putting the cart before the horse by forwarding a petition against onnoghen at the NJC through proxies after realizing their folly,but this act alone clearly shows malicious intent towards a predetermined target, onnoghen should just stand firm n the NJC should act with out most fairness n merit, because by cheaply capitulating they would be validating the precedence that whenever the president wishes to do away with the CJ all he needs to do is falsely precipitate a crisis of confidence by raising bogus allegations against the CJ using the media n state apratus.
SEONaijaExpert: This is how it works, in a simpler way: once CCB point you out for false assets declaration, excessive money in your account or any form of unethical practice, the CCT takes it up to crosscheck and confirm if true. In most cases, after the CCT, EFCC goes after the person. That's has not happened to Onnoghen yet and you guys are screaming...due process, dictator and whatnot.
Onnoghen was to answer the tribunal not CCB and he duly confessed he forget to declare his full assets.
Don't be deceived, he doesn't have any courage even the boosting PDP members in the senate headed by his strong supporter after Atiku, Saraki, could not hold a preliminary regarding his case. They had to call it off and shift all hearings to after the election which obviously means Onnoghen would have known his fate before then. Actually, that was a smart move by Saraki. He knows he's gone already. There's no good grounds here. This case is a one route.
I'm not a lawyer but I wish someone like you should be appointed to handle the government side of this onnoghen case luckily onnoghen has pick a competent hand in person of olanipekun to defend him, I'm simply appalled by what you you wrote up here but I can guess where you are coming from n where you are headed,we shall see how this will end,bye bye.
SEONaijaExpert: No, far away from it. Nothing was twisted, the judicial system remains clean as long as corrupt practices are not condoned. It's the function of the executive to make sure all systems are working and Onnoghen' s case is not an exemption.
The best is for such practice not to have happened. The CCB figuring out and reporting it is enough trouble.
please don't Dodge the issue,did the CCB carried out her investigations n pointed out her discoveries to onnoghen n onnoghen failed to give satisfactory explanations that necessitated the CCB to refer the Matter to the CCT,yes or no.its people like you that are propelling buhari to feel like an emperor n take others for fools just because it suits your agenda.As long as it has not been changed,the law is the law n it has to be respected n followed strictly.onnoghen should fight his case with courage,he certainly has good grounds to,I would do same been in such position.
SEONaijaExpert: The question is when was the mistake admitted?
Answer: It was during the CCT investigation.
Why didn't he correct it at the CCB? He thought he could beat the system.
Don't support corruption!
The CCB is supposed to carry out her investigations n point out any discrepancy noticed to the public servant involved, it's only when the person couldn't provide satisfactory explanations that the CCB can refer the case to the CCT,was this done in onnoghen's case?, buhari is only trying to twist the system, don't support bias n injustice.
SEONaijaExpert: I never said Buhari is against Onnoghen.
It's OK for him to fight, that's why we have the court, and in his case, we have the tribunal. Unfortunately, this is a lost battle. This have nothing to do with politics. CCB and CCT is not a political set up. Going against the CCT and thinking he'd win especially when allegations are confirmed to be true, c'mon, his best option is to resign.
The CCB act state clearly the where an individual admits mistakes in his assets declaration forms he should not be referred to the CCT but given the opportunity for clarification n correction,why didn't the CCB do this but choose to hastly referred onnoghen to the CCT, please tell me why.
In all the write up here,there is no where it's pointed out that onnoghen should resign because he is guilty but simply because he is face by a strong force of an adversary!, nothing ventures nothing wins,saraki has already proove it, onnoghen should show courage n fight his case, those who are tempting him with those offers are equally afraid within them of the possible back fire effect of this case.
GR8ST: Oh! It seems, I am the only one, that read about him, adjoring the meeting of members of NJC indefinitely, since he was the chairman? Or The NBA president telling all lawyers and judges to boycott court rooms for two(2) days?
Are you saying in the rules of the NJC,a quorum or a certain number of members can't sign n call for a mandatory meeting except the chair?,if that is the case then the rule need to be changed,but again the NJC just met without the suspended CJ how was that possible then?, the NBA ask lawyers to boycott court in protest of acts of illegality n unconstitutionality,you can enlighten me if I'm wrong but do me a favor n include proofs.
