okay

pryme:
Things like this makes one wonder which school some top dogs went to.

Onnoghen failed to update his assets when he was confirmed the CJN, the assets declaration when you are in acting capacity no longer holds weight when you are now confirmed the CJN.


Before you guys start chasing your tails remember Tanko is on acting capacity, even if you find billions on him now, it won't hold water because he has not been sworn in.

shut up. What do you have with concerned citizens of Nigeria exercising their right to Freedom of Information to request for Tanko's records?

Or does he have anything to hide?

helinues:
Probably Whizkalifa is also malnourished

yes because he smokes a lot of dope...what is Kayode smoking?

That's a typical Buhari supporter for you.

None of them, not even one looks okay. They all be looking like almajiris.

MORNDEW:
This is not how to request for someone's CCB form. Besides in my submission that you quoted I never said those who got hold of Onnoghen's asset declaration, got it through a request, but through thorough investigation. Comprehension matters a lot and you should polish your comprehension skills. Before Onnoghen's assets declaration forms were made public, by Dennis Ighanya led group, did you read anywhere where they asked CCB to do so? There's difference between sound investigation into an issue and Kabu Kabu request from some ignorant and hungry groups.

shut. Stop displaying your stupidity everywhere. What part of the FOI bill stipulates that the requesters get it through your 'proper investigation'.

The way you are even talking as if you know a sniff how they got it.

MORNDEW:
Nice question. They did that through thorough investigation with the help of of FOI. Instead of many of you here showing high level of ignorance, you can do proper investigation and obtain his assets declaration forms and petition the CCB or NJC and not asking the CCB to make Tanko's asset declaration forms public which reeks of more ignorance.

so these guys are leveraging on the same FOI to request for Tanko's record from the CCB.

It'd be interesting what CCBs response would be. We are watching keenly.

Is this the same guy EFCC is looking for?

Pizzle1234:
Don't mind them,i think Afenifere now has two factions.

whether Afenifere or not. Buhari should declare his assets as he promised Nigerians.

That's what it means to have integrity.

BluntBoy:
Which Goodluck Jonathan declared his assets?

Yar'Adua forced him when he was VP. But as president, GEJ did not declare his assets.

Please, always remember this, not all Nigerians have short memories.

Buhari promised to declare his assets. Or does he did we Nigerians have as short a memory as his zombies?

Clerverly:
That is after Onnoghen has been duly dismissed.

and Tanko retired

Tanko too is being urged to make his asset declaration form available.

But watch how these corruption fighters would defer these requests.

The hypocritic APC supporters wont demand to see Tankos asset declaration form now. Since we are all about a sincere and upright judiciary.

fk001:
If he declare his assets and he is clean, will you vote for Buhari?



Be honest

Sir, this is not about party politics. CCB should release the forms first.

It's only in Nigeria that you will have an entire tribe supporting a world renowned drug lord.

KanwuliaExtra:
Oh yes oooooooo!
What is good for Onnoghen is good for Tanko!
Fight corruption left and right!

In fact SCRUTINIZE ALL POTENTIAL CJNs!
EVERYONE must show their bank AKKANTS!
Make we see which one go clean!

It should start with the acting CJN. He who comes with equity must come with clean hands.

But watch how the same CCB that provided onnoghens form within hours will either ignore or refuse this request.

fk001:
I am very sure he has no skeleton in his cupboard

With all due respect sir, that is only but your own sentiments.

Let them release the forms the same way they released Onnoghens so we Nigeria's can try him as well same way we have tried Onnoghen on the media.

cc Lalasticlala.

You will never see news like this make front page. The APC media would soon shoot it down.

Fighting corrupting my left bum.

Abuja-based NGO AFRICMIL Asks CCB To Release New Cjn's Asset Declaration Forms

"We humbly request to be allowed to inspect and obtain copies of the following documents: The asset declaration of Honourable Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad JSC on his elevation as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria; the asset declaration of the Honourable Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad JSC on his appointment as Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria by President Muhammadu Buhari," the group said.


The African Centre for Media and Information Literacy (AFRICMIL), a non-governmental organisation focused on good governance and the promotion of accountability, has applied to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) for the asset declaration of Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria.

In a letter to the CCB Chairman signed by Chido Onumah, AFRICMIL coordinator, the group stated that in making the request, it relied on Paragraph 11, Part 1 of the Fifth Schedule to the 1999 Constitution as amended, which states that “Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, every public officer shall within three months of the coming into force of this Code of Conduct and immediately after taking office and thereafter – (a) at the end of the every four years; and (b) at the end of his term of office, submit to the Code of Conduct Bureau a written declaration of all his properties, assets, and liabilities and those of his unmarried children under the age of eighteen years.

“Pursuant to the aforementioned provision of the 1999 constitution, as amended, and Section 1(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2011 which states that, 'Notwithstanding anything contained in any other Act, law or regulation, the right of any person to access and request information, whether or not contained in any written form, which is in the custody or possession of any public official, agency or institution howsoever described, is hereby established', we humbly request to be allowed to inspect and obtain copies of the following documents: The asset declaration of Honourable Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad JSC on his elevation as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria; the asset declaration of the Honourable Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad JSC on his appointment as Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria by President Muhammadu Buhari."

On July 28, 2011, the group had sent a Freedom of Information (FoI) request to the CCB asking “to be allowed to inspect and obtain copies of the 2007 asset declaration of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan; the asset declaration of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan after the end of his tenure on May 28, 2011; and his asset declaration when he assumed office on May 29, 2011".

On January 17, 2017, AFRICMIL, in partnership with the Public and Private Development Centre (PPDC), also made Freedom of Information requests to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) for the declaration of assets of certain elected and appointed political office holders, including the current President and Vice President, their immediate predecessors, past and current principal officers of the National Assembly, past and current governors of the 36 states of the country, as well as past and current ministers since May 2011.

Although both organisations made these requests under the Freedom of Information Act, 2011, Onumah said the CCB failed to respond to any of the requests within the time stipulated in the Act, and this led to cases instituted before the Federal High Court requesting judicial action aimed at getting the Code of Conduct to do the needful, in relation to the aforementioned FoI requests of both institutions.

The statement continued: "It is the sole responsibility of the Code of Conduct Bureau to ensure that all public officers declare their assets at the beginning and the end of their tenure in office. It is also their responsibility to ensure that the assets declared are verified to ensure compliance with the provisions of the law and also to establish possible cases of misconduct or corrupt enrichment, with a view to ensuring such culprits face the full wrath of the law.

"The CCB has the constitutional responsibility to retain custody of such asset declaration forms and make them available and accessible for inspection by any citizen of Nigeria on such terms and conditions as the National Assembly may prescribe. By enacting The Freedom of Information Act, 2011, the 7th National Assembly gave effect to the constitutionally guaranteed right of the public to access public documents held by public institutions and relevant private entities in Nigeria and this includes asset declaration forms of public officials, which are public documents within the meaning of the FoI Act, 2011.

"On April 3, 2017, Justice Abdu Kafarati, sitting in Court 2, Federal High Court, Abuja granted the two civil society organizations leave to bring substantive suits against the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB). The grant of leave followed the hearing of the Motion Ex-parte filed by AFRICMIL and PPDC on the failure of the CCB to provide information on the asset declaration of elected and appointed office holders in the Jonathan and Buhari administrations under the Freedom of Information Act 2011.

"Justice Kafarati eventually gave judgement declining the reliefs sought by the applicants in the respective cases. AFRICMIL and PPDC appealed the judgement and the cases have been slated for hearing at the Court of Appeal on February 20 and 21, 2019."

Guzel:

Another project stolen.

Buhari is a scam.

Johnnyessence:
thanks for your reply here. buhari has nothing to offer Nigerians, except to steal other people's projects.

i'm telling you. The are not even ashamed. Tolu Ogunlesi is all over twitter gloating over a private businesses project.

Buhari is now commissioning shops. SMH.

Carlyscales:
Honestly, it's just some set of generator that was commissioned. It's another poor initiative of the power ministry. To connect some markets n commercial area independently.

That's y they can't show d pictures naa

shut up. This is not a Buhari project.

Newznow:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CcxB8Zhbcc

your president is not ashamed to be commissioning private projects.

The only major achievement of APC in 4 years is their mastery of stealing people's project. I've not seen any government steal project as neatly as this one.

gidgiddy:
So the project he came to commission was not even his own?

nah bro. Not by any chance.

As usual, APC are about to steal an innocent firm's project in the name of Buhari.

Ariaria international market power project was embarked on by a private entity called Ariaria Market Independent Power Plant Limited. They were granted license to operate by NERC.

Buhari and APC had zero input into this.

IN an effort to boost power at the Ariaria International Market, Aba, Abia State, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, has granted power generating licence to Ariaria Market Independent Power Plant Limited to generate 9.5 Megawatts for the market. NERC also granted licence to Ariaria Independent Energy Distribution Network Limited to distribute the energy generated by the company within Ariaria Market.

This, according to traders and artisans in the market and its environs, would help boost their business, especially the small and medium businesses in the state which is being championed by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu. Disclosing this, NERC through its Head, Media Unit, Mrs. Vivian Mbonu, said that the licence was granted “after careful consideration of the application in public interest to promote access to common goods and to promote commercialization and industrialisation”.

According to Mbonu: “The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, in pursuit of overriding public interest has granted a 9.5megawatts embedded electricity generation licence to Ariaria Market Independent Power Plant Limited and an Independent Electricity Distribution Licence to distribute same within Ariaria Market to Ariaria Independent Energy Distribution Network Limited. “The licences, issued in line with Section 71(6) of the Electric Power Sector Reform (EPSR) Act 2005, were granted after careful consideration of the applications in public interest to promote access to common goods and to promote commercialization and industrialization for which Ariaria, a leading commercial hub in the country is reputed for. “Both licences granted to Ariaria were affirmation of the Commission’s commitment and response to the long-time yearnings of the market for a stable, reliable and sustainable electricity supply to improve quality of goods and services by Nigerian enterprises and entrepreneurs”.

Traders at the Ariaria market have expressed happiness over the gesture by NERC and commended Governor Ikpeazu for his relentless effort to realize it. According to the chairman of traders’ associations in the state, ASMATA, Chief Emeka Enechebe, “we are happy that the Federal Government has favorably considered our request to end our sufferings in the hands of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC, that has been exploiting us for years without giving us power to carry out our business. “We also thank Governor Okezie Ikpeazu who has been at the forefront of fighting for us to have steady power supply to enable us do more business and support the industrialization, Trade and Commerce agenda of his administration.”

supreme court remian.

Fuckuignos:
Onnoghen refused to resign after admitting he "ignorantly" forgot some accounts having about 170m, y'all kept quiet

Onnoghen suspended sitting of the NJC Indefinitely, y'all kept quiet

Now Buhari suspends CJN, Onnoghen, via an order of CCT, y'all are wailing.

E gbadun rara

shut it. the court order is illegal as the CCT had no case for trying the CJN.

Follow this thread https://www.nairaland.com/4987407/cct-section-3-act-exonerates

Besides no place in the illegal court order was buhari ordered to suspend the CJN.

pryme:
Hello?
The CJN is Public servant, CCT IS A COURT FORMED FROM THE CONSTITUTION.

if you have forgotten there was a case for hearing against the CJN at the CCT which he failed to appear, only his army of SANs were present, that case was adjourned, so how come the case was adjourned if it was no case?

Since you are so smart pls can you educate me on the functions of the CCT? or is it that the CCT has the power to summon the president but does not have the power to summon the CJN?

Look there are a lot of holes in this your sick profession called law, and there are a lot of holes on this your playing ground called the Constitution.
The same twist and turn the you are trying to employ, is the same twist and turn the presidency is employing. And you won't stand a chance against the president with all the resources at his disposal. Park up and go back to the drawing board, you have lost this particular battle.

yawns ! another frustrated dimwit.
