The Ekiti State Government has announced the resignation of the Commissioner for Works and Transportation, Mr Kayode Oso.
According to a press statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Mrs Modupe Alade, Mr Oso resigned on health grounds.

Alade stated in the statement that, “Mr Kayode Oso has worked assiduously to add value to this administration going by his effort towards the development of our state.

” In his letter of resignation which has been fully accepted‎ by his His Excellency, Mr Peter Ayodele Fayose, Oso stated that he decided to resign to attend to his health challenges.

” We wish him quick recovery; the government of Ekiti State will stand by him while he overcomes his health challenges.”

Oso, during the first coming of Governor Fayose, started as Chief of Staff to the Governor and was later appointed as Works Commissioner.

Oso was again reappointed Works Commissioner in October 16, 2014

The Special Assistant to the Ekiti State Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka has said the state government will not respond to claims by the former Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Tope Aluko that he was forced into reconciling with the state Governor, Ayodele Fayose.

Olayinka’s assertion was contained in a statement where he said “the state government would not dignify Aluko with a response.”

He accused Aluko of being “a perjurer and an unstable character, who speaks from both sides of his mouth.”

“As far as we are concerned, the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, which would be willing to accommodate even Judas Iscariot or the notorious armed robber, Lawrence Anini, (if he were to be alive), could keep Temitope Aluko in its fold – that is their business.

“We don’t want a Judas in the PDP and anywhere near the government and that has been made clear,” the Governor’s aide asserted.

Ex-Senate President linked to eight firms on Virgin Island

Facts & Figures

The eight firms associated with Mark:

•Sikera Overseas S.A
•Colsan Enterprises Ltd •Goldwin Transworld Ltd
•Hartland Estates Ltd •Marlin Holdings Ltd •Medley Holdings Ltd
•Quetta Properties Ltd •Centenary Holdings Ltd

14312MP •The secret code for Mrs Vikky Preye Mark’s account at the Swiss branch of HSBC

£6m •The cash in four accounts —three at the Northern Bank, Isle of Man, and one at the Allied Irish Bank, Jersey – frozen in October 2000

Former Senate President David Mark has been associated with running eight offshore companies registered on the British Virgin Island.

His former wife is also listed as owning shell accounts.

Senator Mark (Benue South), who recently won re-election into the upper chamber for the fifth time, is the latest Nigerian to be named in the files belonging to Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.

The firm, reputed as one of the most secretive companies in the world, helped clients to register offshore entities, some of which are then used to launder money, evade tax and dodge sanctions.

Senate President Bukola Saraki’s wife, former Delta State Governor James Ibori, Saraki’s brother Laolu, his associates Obi Asika and Olufela Ibidapo, have also been named as running shell companies that are listed in what is known as the Panama Papers.

The global scandal claimed Iceland Prime Minister’s job yesterday following pressure from the citizens.

In Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron, whose dad Ian was named, denied having anything to do with the Panama Papers. But the opposition Labour Party called for an independent inquiry.

The revelations are among the findings of a lengthy investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and more than 100 other global news organisations.

The companies associated with Mark are: Sikera Overseas S.A, Colsan Enterprises Limited, Goldwin Transworld Limited, Hartland Estates Limited, Marlin Holdings Limited, Medley Holdings Limited, Quetta Properties Limited and Centenary Holdings Limited.

In the documents, Mark is repeatedly marked as a politically exposed person. At a point, the former Senate President sent documents, across to Mosseca Fonseca to prove that he was clean.

The businesses Mark is conducting with the companies could not be ascertained.

Online newspaper Premium Times quoted a previous investigation it conducted as showing that Mark’s estranged wife, Vikky Preye Mark, was also exposed as an operator of secret offshore accounts.

Mrs. Mark operated an account with the Swiss branch of HSBC, but with details made largely secret.

Although she was known within the bank as the beneficial owner of the account, she was largely identified with a secret code – 14312MP.

Mrs. Mark opened the account on December 18, 1989 and closed it on July 12, 1991. About that time, her husband, then a top ranking army officer, had served as military administrator of Niger State and minister of Communications.

Court papers during a messy divorce with his wife suggested that some of Mark’s children schooled in Switzerland, but it is not clear whether it was during that period that Mrs. Mark operated the HSBC account.

The court papers also showed that the Marks operated foreign accounts elsewhere.

About six million pounds in four accounts – three at the Northern Bank, Isle of Man, and one at the Allied Irish Bank, Jersey – were frozen in October 2000 as a result of the ancillary relief sought by Victoria Mark in the couple’s divorce case.

If proven that he ran the accounts, the senator may have run foul of the law.

Part 1, Section 7 of the Code of Conduct law provides that “any public officer specified in the Second Schedule to this Act or any other persons as the President may, from time to time, by order prescribe, shall not maintain or operate a bank account in any country outside Nigeria”.

Section 23 of the Code of Conduct law stipulates punishment for violators as follows:

(1) Where the (Code of Conduct) Tribunal finds a public officer guilty of contravening any of the provisions of this Act, it shall impose upon that officer any of the punishments specified under subsection (2) of this section.

(2) The punishment which the Tribunal may impose shall include any of the following-

(a) vacation of office or any elective or nominated office, as the case may be; and

(b) disqualification from holding any public office (whether elective or not) for a period not exceeding ten years.

The former senate president could not be reached for comments yesterday.

Premium Times quoted his spokesman Paul Mumeh as saying: “I’m not sure about the accuracy of your claims. I need to consult him before commenting.”

Later last night, Mark’s spokesman Paul Mumeh said: “I’m not sure about the accuracy of your claims. We know where that may be coming from. It is political.”

yeye dey smell.. see that look

good

Finally, the proper trial of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki has commenced. The trial began immediately CCT Trial Judge resumed from break at about 1.00pm on Tuesday, after having ruled that the trial cannot be stopped on the basis of the motion filed by the defendant at the Court of Appeal against the judgment delivered on 24th March, 2016 on the court’s jurisdiction to entertain the case.

Citing relevant sections of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended, and Criminal Justice Act 2015, Justice Umar ruled that notwithstanding the motion of Appeal which was acknowledged by the CCT, it was unjustifiable that the matter be adjourned as canvassed by the defendant, ordered for commencement of trial.

“Having listened to arguments from the Counsels, and considering the provisions of laws in the Constitution and Criminal Justice Act, 2015, especially on the powers of CCT in a case brought before it, I want to rule that trial should commence immediately,” Justice Umar ruled.

However, there was an effort by the defence counsel, Paul Usoro, who sought for adjournment on the grounds that the defence was ill-prepared especially that he was appearing for the first time on behalf of Chief Kanu Agabi .

“My Lord, I’m appearing for the first time and we are ill-prepared to commence trial in as much as we will abide by your ruling especially that Chief Kanu Agabi was unavailable which I have apologised on his behalf,” Usoro requested.

Responding, Justice Umar cautioned against abuse of Court’s decision while Rotimi Jacobs asked the prosecuting witness to enter the witness box for oath in compliance with Section 106 of evidence Act, 2004 in an atmosphere of absolute silence.

Speaking from the witness box, an EFCC investigator disclosed that Saraki had maintained three Accounts with Gurantee Trust Bank in which he took loans at different times when he was governor of Kwara State between 2003 and 2011.

The witness added that the three different currencies were operated Naira, Dollars and Pounds Sterling and were in the name of different companies, noting that the inflow and outflow in the accounts range from 4 billion dollars.

Meanwhile, Chief Agabi who entered the Chamber at exactly 1.15pm while the witness was giving a graphic account of how Saraki laundered money in local and foreign currency in the accounts interjected and announced his appearance.

Under the evidence Act 2004, printouts of electronic statement of account from Banks can now be admitted in courts of law and it is expected that Guarantee Trust Bank, Ilorin, Kwara State, American Express Bank in the United States and Fortis Bank, U. K. and other Financial Institutions involved would tender such proofs as proceeding progresses.

update!!!

The Code of Conduct Tribunal has over-ruled an application for an adjournment by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and ordered his trial on 13 counts of false and anticipatory asset declaration, which was scheduled to commence today.

The Danladi Umar-led panel of the CCT gave the order in a ruling after a stand-down which he took to prepare its ruling after entertaining argument and counter-argument on Saraki’s application.

Umar ruled that the defendant’s application for adjournment offended provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.

When proceedings started at about 10:30am on Tuesday, the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), infor‎med the tribunal that the matter was on March 24, adjourned till today for trial to commence.

Jacobs told the tribunal that his witness was in court and was ready for trial to commence.

But defence counsel, Mr. Paul Usoro (SAN), urged the tribunal to adjourn the case till a period after the hearing of his client’s motion for stay of proceedings of the CCT which was filed before the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal only on Monday.

The defence on Monday filed an appeal and an application for stay of the tribunal’s proceedings before the Court of Appeal against the CCT’s ruling delivered on March 24, 2014, dismissing Saraki’s application challenging the ‎jurisdiction of the CCT to hear the case.

Just this morning, the defence filed and served on the prosecution another motion for stay of proceedings before the tribunal.

Usoro gave the‎ appeal number as CA/A/172C/2016, adding that the appeal court had fixed April 26 for the hearing of his client’s motion for stay of proceedings.

“Our prayer is for an adjournment not for stay of proceedings. We are asking for an adjournment based on our motion filed before the Court of Appeal for stay of proceedings of the trial before this tribunal‎,” Usoro said.

But Jacobs opposed the application for adjournment saying it had the same implication as a motion for stay of proceedings which he said had been prohibited by section 306 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.

He faulted the records of proceedings of the CCT compiled by the defence for the purpose of prosecuting their appeal ‎on the grounds that it was not done in accordance with the law.

Jacobs maintained that the defence only decided to file their appeal and motion for stay of proceedings on the eve of the day scheduled for commencement of trial in order to ensure that the trial was stalled.

He added that section 306 of the ACJ Act having stipulated that no application for stay of proceedings should be entertained, the motion filed by Saraki asking for stay of proceedings was illegal‎.

“Nothing can be built on an illegal process. You can’t build something on nothing. They will both crumble,” Jacobs said.

Jacobs said both motions asking for stay of proceedings filed before the tribunal and the CCT itself constituted an abuse of court process.

He said under section 396 of the ACJ Act which provides a party in a criminal case was only entitled to adjournment not more than six times.
According to him, since the commencement of the case in September last year, the matter had been adjourned more than five times at Saraki’s instance.

“This has become too much. My lord should refuse this application for adjournment,” Jacobs said.

As Nigeria’s Senate President, Bukola Saraki faces his substantive trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, on Tuesday, his lead Counsel and former Minister of Justice, Chief Kanu Agabi was surprisingly absent.
Chief Agabi and a team of 80 defence lawyers challenged the jurisdiction of the tribunal to try Saraki through a motion he filed at the CCT, but lost the case in a ruling which was delivered by Justice Danladi Umar last week.

Consequently, the Prosecuting counsel sought immediate commencement of substantive trial so as not to foot-drag the matter that had been delayed in the last six months over what he termed frivolous motions and counter motions. But in his submission, Agabi pleaded that the matter be fixed for hearing at a later date.

Justice Umar had at Chief Agabi’s request fixed 5th and 6th April, 2016 for proper hearing to enable parties prepare adequately.

Meanwhile, the Senate President and few other senators arrived the Court at exactly 9:55 am.

Confirming Kanu Agabi’s absence, a lawyer among his team said he would be unavoidable absent at the day’s hearing, though another senior lawyer, Barrister Mahmood Magaji SAN was present.

TOUCHING....

DO NOT MOCK GOD

Following the lingering fuel scarcity that has continued to ravage the nation, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has asked Nigerians to hold the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, responsible.

Tinubu while addressing newsmen in Lagos at the weekend said PDP destroyed Nigeria during its 16-year rule by refusing to pursue what was necessary for the growth and development of the country.

He said, “We want to stay focused and redirect Nigeria. We want to reverse the decay of 16 years. We are hearing comments from the PDP left and right. We are saying we want to clear the mess they created. For 16 good years, the PDP destroyed the country. We should not be lamenting over petrol queues today if they had seen what was necessary and done what was necessary for this country.

“We can’t be emotional and live in self-denial. They should have done the Awolowo Road and the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway. If they put priority on our railroad, if they put priority on electricity generation and distribution, we will not be in this mess today.”

The former Lagos State Governor, who also dismissed the claim that Nigerians were dissatisfied with the current APC-led Federal Government, noted that people only wanted to see the direction of the government’s economic policy.

“Nigerians are not impatient with the APC government; they just want to see the direction of the economic policy and want to be certain of the future. They want to be assured that we will not continue the leaderless, directionless and hopelessness of the past 16 years.

“The fact is that Nigerians do not want the importation of toothpicks to continue, we can make toothpicks out of our bamboo trees. Nigeria does not want to import rice or plastic. Nigeria does not want to continue in the direction of the past 16 years. What did they leave behind in our account? Why should certain things that we bring into this country become our priority? Why do we have to import those things that we can produce? The country needs surgical operation in the hands of a very honest Nigerian,” Tinubu said.
