The State Govt is on a PR blitz....

cc; midolian & my other good people of kwara.

Seems Saraki never finish una money ooo.

I watched it. Don't mind them

Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has declared war against PUNCH newspapers for reporting the views of opposition parties on the happenings in state.

The governor, in a video clip, watched by our correspondent in Osogbo on Tuesday, made the public declaration of war against PUNCH and Tribune newspapers on September 8 during the commencement of distribution of plastic chairs and desks to schools in the state.

The ceremony was held at the premises of Adenle Middle School, Osogbo, the state capital.

Making reference to media reports of several months of unpaid salaries in the state, the governor said PUNCH and other newspapers supported his adversaries to lie against his government.

He said, “They didn’t spare us on any platform. Even today, they lied against us and some shameless organs of mass communication supported them.

“Say shame on them, shame! All of them and those who are supporting them. Some newspapers knew they were lying, yet they supported them. PUNCH, PUNCH reported last week Thursday that they had just released the money. The same PUNCH published today that we have kept the money for two months. Shame on all of them, shame!

“Newspapers are meant to educate the people, they are not meant to incite the public against the government. Shame on PUNCH, shame on Tribune. I say it openly; let them challenge me.

“PUNCH newspaper, Tribune newspapers have declared war on our state and we shall not spare them, we shall not spare them, it’s war!

“You can’t be attacking us and expect us to be quiet; we shall fight back. The time has come for us to fight back; we will fight back.”

There has been a persistent attack against PUNCH by some former aides of Aregbesola and their supporters on the social media.

One Adeyokunnu Taiwo wrote in her comment on the attack on the newspaper by a former state Commissioner for Special Duties, Bashiru Ajibola, on the latter’s Facebook wall, “PUNCH should be visited by the ‘State Boys’.”

Based on verbal attacks and other forms of threats by the governors supporters against the PUNCH correspondent in Osun State, the corespondent had written a petition to the Commissioner of Police, asking the police to investigate the threats and to stop Aregbesola from further inciting his supporters against the media organisation.

The same petition was also forwarded to the State Director, Department of State Services, asking the DSS to probe the threats.

The petition read in part, “I wish to inform you of the threats to my life from supporters of Governor Rauf Aregbesola and those of his political party, the All Progressives Congress in Osun State.

“A female supporters of the APC, Adeyokunnu Taiwo, who commented on a disparaging comment made against PUNCH by a former Commissioner for Special Duties, Mr. Bashiru Ajibola, on Facebook, said, “PUNCH should be visited by State Boys.

“I know for sure that the police in Osun State are aware of the existence of State Boys and what they are capable of doing. I have started noticing some strange faces around my office and I feel I have to report the threats they pose to me to the appropriate quarters for investigations.”

My broda, Mr President may not have a direct hand in all of these. And dat even makes the matter more delicate and dicey cos any unjustified opposition to d list by Saraki and/or his loyalists wil be seen as a direct attack on d president. And d "presidency" wil go full swing on Saraki but dis time, with the nod of "Mr President".

you are making sense

bestestgirl:
Hilarious ke?? those things are so dry that Sahara desert sounds like an ocean

your problems are probably bigger than the joke in them. Sorry dear

wetin concern me? Jagaban has gone past this stage. He's been cleared. Let him be

Plshavmercyamen:
Lol... The postponement of the case is a trap for Saraki by the presidency. Advise - Saraki must not oppose either covertly or overtly d ministerial list that wil be sent through him to the senate by d president ELSE he wil be FINISHED at d adjourned date... Lol

@ the emboldened..Same thought as mine.. But I trust baba. He doesn't have a hand in this

kingdompropty:
From all the noise pre appearance at CCT, I thought Mr. Bukola Saraki would never leave the CCT venue or worse still be sentenced to a long jail term.

The APC as a party is full of e- kids and e- touts that don't know anything about how systems work. Do you blame them? When the whole system is built on lies and propaganda. It seems it flows freely from their leadership.

I watched with keen interest the whole CCT debacle thinking that with the whole noise something worse will happen to Mr. Saraki, anyway it is their problem.

The lesson I have learnt recently is, don't take those guys seriously.

Easy bro! They don't send people to jail just like that.

"Nigerians are funny set of people" is an understatement. They make a joke out everything (even matters affecting them)..while some people were watching with keen interest to see how things unfold, some were busy doing the caption justice to these photos from the tribunal. See funny captions of Saraki in the Dock at the CCT photos.

See funny captions that shows Nigerians will always be Nigerians..

.....Both prosecution and defence counsel have agreed on October 21, 22 and 23 for the main trial in the corruption charge

UPDATE: Counsel to Bukola Saraki expresses dissatisfaction with CCT's decision to adjourn till 21st of OCT, saying its short.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has finally appeared before the Code of Conduct Tribunal where he is being charged for alleged false declaration of assets.
Mr. Saraki failed to appear before the tribunal on Friday, and again on Monday, despite an arrest warrant issued against him.

He faces a 13-count charge bordering on corruption and false assets declaration.
Mr. Saraki said Monday that he would appear before the tribunal, after the Court of Appeal in Abuja dismissed his application for a stay of execution.

He arrived at the tribunal at about 10.20am, accompanied by deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, and other senators.
The tribunal has disallowed live broadcast of its proceedings. But you can follow highlights of the session below.
=====================
UPDATE 1: The Chairman of the Tribunal came into the courtroom at 10.32 a.m, and apologised for the delay in the commencement of proceeding. He said the tribunal was sorting out some matters.

Arrant nonsense!

OZAOEKPE:
"For your liberation bro". Quote me anywhere.

Thanks man. That's why I am so interested in seeing Saraki fall. We've had enough of his oppression in kwara.

"More to follow"..means "This is just the beginning".

"Order from above"..means "The Daura genius"

You don't expect them to allow the convoy of a suspected criminal pass through that gate. Buhari so hates corruption, you know.

OZAOEKPE:
"I won't support saraki, he's a criminal. Too many blood on his head calling for vengeance".

If this is true, I am with the christians on this.

2n2k:
He didn't say the judge was incompetent. He said the tribunal was incompetent and gave his reasons.

The argument of the lawyer is that the tribunal is incompetent by composition as stated in the constitution which requires the panel to be the chairman and two other members instead of just the chairman and one member that sat. The judge noted his argument on Friday but did not rule on it. He therefore raised the issue again on Monday that the tribunal is incompetently constituted. The judge again noted his argument but ruled that another Law (which the judge quoted) allows the tribunal to form a quorum just with the chairman and one member.

'incompetent' was validly used legal term in the context and was properly understood by both the lawyer and the judge.

And who were the people that constituted the tribunal?
