The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has described former President, Olusegun Obasanjo’s reference to Salamigate as another confirmation that the Minister of Mines and Steel Development and former governor of the State, Dr Kayode Fayemi only became the governor of Ekiti State through judicial fraud, maintaining that he (Fayemi) has never won any election in his life.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has described former President, Olusegun Obasanjo’s reference to Salamigate as another confirmation that the Minister of Mines and Steel Development and former governor of the State, Dr Kayode Fayemi only became the governor of Ekiti State through judicial fraud, maintaining that he (Fayemi) has never won any election in his life.

Salamigate is the terminology used to describe the controversial Appeal Court, Ilorin judgment delivered by Justice Isa Ayo Salami, which removed Engr Segun Oni of the PDP from office and declared Dr Kayode Fayemi governor of Ekiti State on October 15, 2010.

While playing host to members of the Correspondents Chapel, Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State Chapter, at his hilltop residence in Abeokuta on Sunday, Obasanjo said; “…Our judges must be committed in fighting corruption. They must be committed to fighting corruption.


”Because if the investigation is very sound and you have `ogbologbo’ lawyer to handle the case, if you have Salamigate, you know what the answer will be.”

But the Ekiti State PDP in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Monday and signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Mr Jackson Adebayo, said;

“Fayemi never won the 2009 rerun governorship election. Rather, he was awarded victory by Justice Salami after cancelling votes in wards where the PDP won and this has been further established by former President Obasanjo.”


The PDP said Nigerians should recall that records of telephone calls and messages between Justice Salami and APC chieftains like Lai Mohammed before and after the judgment were made public, confirming that the judgment was obtained by fraud.

“It should also be recalled that even programmes of Fayemi’s swearing in ceremony and other souvenirs were printed more than two weeks before the judgment was delivered.

“Up till today, that Appeal Court judgment of October 10, 2010 that made Fayemi governor is not being cited as authority in any election matter and with Obasanjo’s reference to Salamigate as terminology for judicial manipulation, it should be clear to Fayemi himself that he became governor by judicial fraud.

“Perhaps, Fayemi may now have to ask Baba Obasanjo what he meant by Salamigate. He should also ask Engr Segun Oni that he cheated out of office why he dragged Justice Salami and others before the National Judicial Council (NJC),” the party said.

Federal Government Thursday appealed the judgment of Justice Jude Okeke that nullified the corruption charges against Justice Adeniyi Ademola, Mrs. Olabowale Ademola and Mr. Joe Agi (SAN).

Also, the government through the federal Ministry of Justice has filed a fresh case in the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT against Justice Ademola and his wife for living above their income and failure to declare their assets.
It will be recalled that Justice Okeke of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Wednesday April 5, 2017, upheld a no case submission by the Defence in the corruption case against Justice Ademola, Mrs. Ademola and Mr. Agi.

The judge also struck out the 18-count charge proffered against the Defendants after holding that the Prosecution failed to prove any of the allegations despite the provisions of sections 53 and 60 of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act (ICPC Act).

However, sources in the Presidency informed State House Correspondents that the government had been advised to appeal against what is described as “a very strange outcome indeed considering the underlying facts.
“It is even stranger that the trial was not allowed to continue considering the applicable statutory provisions.

“Section 53 (1) of the ICPC Act raises a presumption that any gratification accepted or obtained by an accused person must have been corruptly accepted or obtained until the contrary is proved. Section 60 of the Act does not apply to the case.

“Of interest is the decision of the learned trial judge that the offence of giving and receiving gratification was not made out by the prosecution against the defendants in the face of the evidence held in court.

“Prosecution witnesses gave testimony of the payment of N30 Million in three tranches by Mr Joe Agi (SAN), into the account of Mrs Olabowale Ademola, the wife of Justice Ademola. Agi was a legal practitioner who actually had cases in the court of Justice Ademola.

“The defendants, however, claimed that the money was a gift from common friends for the benefit of Justice Ademola and Mrs Ademola to support the wedding of their daughter’’, the source narrated.

The source added that the evidence of the defence suggesting that the source of the money was not Agi, was unclear at best and ought not to have formed the basis of the learned trial judge’s conclusion at this stage of the proceedings.

“What was clear was that the last tranche was paid shortly before Justice Ademola granted a garnishee order in favour of Agi’s client to the tune of about $637 million.
“Prior to this, it was also not disputed that Justice Ademola’s son had received a BMW vehicle worth about N8,500,000 from Agi.’’
The presidency source continued: “One of the charges dismissed relates to the possession of firearms by Justice Ademola without a valid licence.

“On this, Honourable Justice Okeke held that the Firearms Act made provision for a time lag, that is, for Justice Ademola to continue to hold on to his firearms and ammunition even after the expiration of his licence.
“In this case, a new licence was tendered in a situation where Justice Ademola ought to have tendered a renewal of his old licence. Being in possession of two licences in respect of the same firearm ought to have raised some questions for the defendants to resolve.’’

According to sources, within the prosecution, the ruling suggests that the learned trial judge proceeded to ascribe probative value to the evidence of prosecution witnesses at the stage of a no case submission when he ought only to have considered whether a prima facie case had been made out by the prosecution against the defendants.

“The learned trial Judge had held that there was no link between the gratification received by Justice Ademola and the judgment he delivered in favour of Agi.’’

The source maintained that the ruling failed to address the relevance of section 53 of the ICPC Act which raised a presumption of corruption in respect of the gratification in question.

The source said this and other troubling questions must be addressed in an appeal against the ruling.

When contacted for official comments of the presidency, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu denied the existence of a rift between the Executive and Judicial arms of government over this issue and other recent judicial decisions posing a challenge to the war against corruption.

According to him, the relationship between the two arms of government has been very cordial, adding that nothing has happened to change the nature of the relationship.

Its not getting funny anymore.

The international angle is getting into this grasscuting in Aso Villa.

Senator Alimodu Sheriff rejects the Reconciliation meeting called by Former President Good Luck Jonathan. Says the former President did not accord him due deligence as the National Chairman of the Party. He says he will only work with the Governor Seriake Dickson Standing Committee Resolutions.

He left the venue of the meeting with his supporters.

The Former President in his address after the meeting insists he will work with interested party members and resolve the crisis. He sets up a committee to be chaired by either him or the former Vice President or the BoT chairman.

Jonathan says the committee will consult from both groups to make up the committee and within two weeks, come up with strong recommendation that will end the crisis

PDP stakeholders meeting holding right now at Shehu Musa Yaradua Center Abuja

The meeting is aim at bringing to an end the crisis rocking the party. The two faction of Makarfi led caretaker committee and Ali Madu sheriff are both present, also are the Governors of Taraba state, Ekiti, Rivers, Deputy Senate president, senate minority leader, the BOT Chairman, etc.



Former president Goodluck Ebele Johnathan who is the convener of the meeting said, "everybody without a platform is nobody" and pleaded the both factions to shield there sword in other to bring the lost glory of the party back.

He said the wounds of what happened in Ondo, and Edo are still fresh in our minds and would not allow such happen in Anambara, Ekiti and Osun. He prayed them to put the party's interest above any personal interest, saying no amount of sacrifice is too big for anyone in other to bring this crisis to a stop.

Meanwhile the close door session is still on and the resolution will be made known to the public in a short while.

Nigerians are indeed wonderful.

Or how do we call it.

Parent will advice their children not to watch porn video or movie but will mobilize people to vote for #BBN.

Very shameful

Ontarget:
I think it's still early to draw conclusions. From now till 2019 is about 2 years. In politics this is a whole lot of time because Buhari can actually surprise everyone in just one month before you talk of 2 years.

When did he promise to do just one tenure??

Has the president said hes going for second term.

Femi Adesina should keep quiet

Justuceleague2:
If anyone were to ask you why he should be removed I'm sure your answer would be based on den say dem say any sane Nigerian should support this administration especially for the fight against corruption


Even TonyeBarcanista knows he just shared that post, he has not tried to convince anyone yet, the TonyeBarcanista I have read so much about will not just copy and paste a post, he'll analyze and give 100 reasons and proofs, in this case he only said presidency didn't present invoice / receipt I am pretty sure everyone can find that invoice with just a call


Oh and some plastic surgeries full body cost less than $1M how can rumor mongers claimed Buhari spent £10M


He mentioned we can't continue to fund his medical trips, I'm sure the man earns salary, besides under the constitution it's his right to be treated by the nation, if Saraki can hug 500M range and oduah can buy 250M BMW I'm sure Presidency has the right to spend as much as it can to keep the president alive and performing



Not once has the so called sick buhari fallen off any podium or stage , but the famed mugabe has at least 3 records that we know of

Are you saying we should allow the cabals to continue to dictate to the VP what to do.

When last haa PMB report in his official office.

When last has PMB appear in public functions.

The little initial gragra experince when PMB was away had been covered up by the cabals antics

MaziOmenuko:
At least the head of the administration has not come out boldly to encourage corruption by saying that stealing is not corruption. You know what happens to the body when the head is rotten? WE wont return to the days of ali baba and his 40 gang of vicious robbers!

If this administration is certified to be incompetent like your gang of pdp thieves, we will search for a better alternative. For the mean time, we will give the administration our undivided support.

You are very funny.

So because PMB has not come out to say His admin is corrupt. Heneeeeeeee. Chaiiii.
