It's a set back for democracy and all thanks to the too many illiterates that got hoodwinked by the APC's promise of 5000 and a free meal for their kids.
I personally heard Pastor Prof. Yemi Osinbajo addressing my people in our local Yoruba dialect on all radio stations in the SW promising heavens and earth including the FREE MEALS.

I wonder, if a highly revered RCG pastor can sell such a big lies to our people in this century. undecided

Btw: I am a Pastor myself. And God hate lies.

Baseless epistle tainted with shitty analysis to bamboozle some unintelligent people.

Some people truly deserve to be shot at not because you hate them but simply to ensure that they stop spreading this sickening mentality and a warped ideology that would be frowned at even in the animal kingdom.


In summary what he is saying is that '' Until you step on party men's foot and go against the party agreement ,that is when your corrupt charges would be visited'' , while they said they were coming to fight corruption and make changes - What could be more sickening than this barefaced lies ,deceit and propaganda and a brazen effort to defend the same lies in our face....smh
Too bad... Chief Gbawe too bad.

So if Saraki had not gone against his party order of installing puppet as the SP, he wouldn't have witnessed this "APC show of SHAME" ?

Firstly, Saraki's trial is political and he deserves it in my opinion. his trial is in order. for his recent act of treachery against his Party when buhari had warned, while the saga was ongoing, that no one should put their own personal interest ahead of that of the party. that is precisely what Saraki went on to do. he even helped the PDP to gain the DSP position. What then did the APC fight for power for if their own so called leaders will be helping the opposition gain positions they have no right or might to even vie for?
So Saraki case is a political vendetta and not a real fight against corruption. huh

Make una continue, you shall all fail in your enterprise to turn Nigeria to your private estate like your master did in Lagos.

Why putting crayons on only Osinbajo on the report you cited? Reading that report holistically informed me the man was tried for an offence he didn't commit but brilliant Osinbajo came to his rescue. If he forged his certificate do you think Osinbajo will be able to quash that in court? If we were in a military government many of our opinions would have been entirely different in certain situations. If in 16yrs the only cases brought upon Tinubu in court are that of just certificate and ownership of foreign accounts then I will order the PDP and any of its agents to keep silent forever concerning him. Who stopped Jonathan and co from hiring 100 SANS to present and defend their case or does Tinubu own the absolute rights to sound lawyers?

GEJ was corruption personified and never saw any reason to prosecute anyone of corruption. To him corruption was an over-flogged issue in Nigeria and there was no need he waste his time pursuing anyone as might end up pursuing himself.
You see... and yet.

Corruption is the biggest crime among the challenges facing Nigerians.


Transparency International (TI) in its 2014 Corruption Perception Index has ranked Nigeria the 136th most corrupt country in the world and the 3rd most corrupt country in West Africa after Guinea and Guinea Bissau.

Nigeria was ranked 144th in 2013, 139th in 2012 and 143rd in 2011 with the 2014 position bettering that of 2013 by eight places.

This record is Nigeria best ranking on Transparency International’s corruption perception index (CPI) under the Presidency of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

You can imagine the argument of some APC fans here, "You only probe the last administration as that is what is feasible..."

If Jonathan for whatever reason refused to pursue corrupt elements as he said "... I have no enemies to fight".

The corruption fighter cum General should be supported to do what you perceived GEJ could not do.

We are now in the era of asking looters to return the loot in their custody. (Secretly or openly)

If PDP could not convict Tinubu, then let APC do justice as in the case of Saraki.

Unlike you, I am well-versed in affairs of governance and don't come here daily to suggest things that are illogical and not feasible. Also the progress of Nigeria is what is paramount on my mind and not partisan squabbles because of political bias. Why then should I join you to ask inanely for investigation of looters dating back to 1952? How far back do you want Buhari to go if you irresponsibly want to put the onus on him to investigate everyone? Why did those before him not investigate their predecessors? Oh I forget Yar Adua could not investigate the man who put him in power (OBJ) and your precious GEJ was busy pardoning political crooks and sending them back into politics so they can loot round two !!!! You guys should stop deceiving yourselves. You cannot demand Buhari should now do what Yar Adua and GEJ failled to do. My friend, Buhari will investigate the GEJ government because that is what is feasible and that is what protocol demands.

I will never be an "abobaku" to any politician, not in this life. In fact it is a disgrace to GEJ and the PDP for allowing Tinubu walk free all these years with all the allegations you guys peddle against him in the media. Do you know if the caliber of Tinubu is in jail, politicians will make a retreat in corruption? Jonathan did not make any step to reform our judicial system to strengthen the battle against corruption, he neither made any effort to bring people to book. The legacy he left behind in the area of corruption is the pardon of Alams, the release of Bode George, Al Mustafa etc including all politicians seeing the national treasury as their personal bank accounts.
In fact, I do not expect anybody who supported that government and it's reelection to be speaking at this moment or pointing fingers at any perceived corrupt people.
You views about GEJ on fighting corruption is jaundiced.

If you may know, Tinubu is a professional criminal who has SANs at his disposal to take advantage of the loopholes in Nigeria Legal system.

If you doubt me, ask Pastor Professor Osinbajo who has been defending the looter since 1999.

I don't believe you can be this naïve even if you have serious beef against Tinubu. Truth of that report is Vanguard trying by all means to link him with the Saraki saga. Note the writer's use of the line "apparently referring to...". Tinubu was asked about the general anti corruption war and he gave his opinion. Instead of Vanguard to report the opinion as was stated, they decided to garnish it with Saraki matters to make it more sellable.
In my own opinion, Vanguard is now battling space with Linda Ikeji and Stella Dimokokorkus in the cyber space and junk news dissemination.
Leave matter... Tinubu's case must be re-open...

What is there to read huh

In summary, Tinubu floors FG in foreign account charge
The same procedure used by Tinubu to outsmart the court was also applied by Saraki.

But because their was a political vendetta against the later the court is having upper hands.

Yesterday, his refusal to enter the dock, which is necessary before a plea can be entered, marked a clear departure from that experience.

Citing legal authorities, Mr. Olanikpekun objected to the invitation of the tribunal’s chairman, Justice Umar Yakubu for Mr. Tinubu to step into the dock, arguing that until his client was arraigned before the court, he could not be put in the dock.

He told Justice Yakubu, “My lord, with due respect, I will be objecting to the request by the accused to enter the dock. Was it right for the court to command an accused person to go into the dock when he has not been arraigned? Besides, he is challenging the competence of the charge. The objection is on the legality or validity of the charge.”

Yes, tinubu has also passed through this stage which saraki is trying to avoid by all means.

Tinubu was found not guilty of all charges even when it was PDP that was in charge of things.
Bros, take your time to read what transpire during Tinubu's trial.

It would be recalled that the former governor had at the last adjourned date, October 26, declined to either mount the dock or enter his plea to the charge, arguing that he should have been tried in Lagos state where he allegedly committed the said offence. shocked


Arguing through his lead counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, Tinubu had told the tribunal that while he was a governor, “some forms for declaration of assets were brought to him from the Code of Conduct Bureau, at its office in Lagos. The said forms were filled, completed and deposed to at the High Court of Lagos Registry and same duly returned to the CCB in Lagos”, stressing that he did not have any personal dealing with the CCB in Abuja.

Besides, the ex-governor through his team of lawyers comprising of over 15 Senior Advocates of Nigeria, maintained that he “is being accused and/or charged before a Tribunal which is not known to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, (as amended). (Same Point Saraki Lawyer is rasing ?) grin
