Politics / Senate Crisis: How The Clerk, Salisu Conspired With PDP by oluvick(m): 6:55am On Jun 12, 2015
Facts have emerged concerning
the despicable role the Clerk of the National
Assembly, Alhaji Salisu Maikasuwa, played in
the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as
president of the Senate on Tuesday.
Eminent Nigerians, one of them Law
professor Itse Sagay, blamed Maikasuwa for
the fraudulent emergence of Saraki as
Senate President.

Maikasuwa, who became Clerk of the National
Assembly on 16 August, 2010, was aware of
the meeting All Progressives Congress, APC,
Senators were going to have with President
Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday morning but
went ahead with the inauguration of the 8th
Senate.

Reports said he was informed on phone
about the meeting and advised to delay the
inauguration to enable the APC senators
attend it but he ignored the request and
pandered to the wishes of the conspirators
of what has been dubbed a coup by the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, by hastily
allowing the election to go on, even without
the senators forming a quorum.

Maikasuwa, who formally took over from Mr
Oluyemi Ogunyomi on 16 August, 2010, as
Clerk of the National Assembly, clearly
betrayed his loyalty to Senator David Mark,
immediate past Senate President, whom he
worked with for almost six years, going by
his conduct on Tuesday.

The fraud hurriedly perpetrated by
Maikasuwa and other conspirators has been
roundly condemned by eminent Nigerians.
One of those who condmened the entire
process that led to the emergence of Saraki
as Senate President is Sagay who believes
the election of Saraki and his deputy Ike
Ekweremadu by some senators smacks of
legislative impunity.

The Senior Advocate said in an interview on
Television Continental (TVC) on Wednesday
that the emergence of Saraki and
Ekweremadu cannot pass for a victory for
democracy but a victory for impunity,
fraud, desperation and indiscipline.
According to Sagay, “If you look at the
moral point of view, that purported election
was fraudulent. When you purport to hold
an election deliberately in the absence of
your opponent, knowing that he is absent,
and intending to win at any cost unopposed
by ensuring that absence, that constitutes
fraud. Not only that, I think it’s an act of
gross indiscipline, not just against his party,
but against the whole country because we
are all stakeholders in the electoral process,
in who becomes the Senate President and we
all felt cheated because there was no proper
election.

“Again it’s also an act of gross impunity. In
effect, he was saying ‘I know my opponent is
keenly interested in contesting, I know my
opponent is not here yet, and therefore, I
will rush an election in his absence in order
to be certain of victory at any cost.’ It’s
absolutely unacceptable in a decent
democracy.”

He also said the Assembly Clerk, Maikasuwa,
is culpable. “To start with, there is an
aspect of deceit in the whole thing. That’s
why I think it is also illegal and fraudulent.
The APC Senators were told that the
President was going to have a meeting with
them and that they should all gather there
(International Conference Centre). Clearly,
in such circumstances, the last thing they
would think of is that there would be an
election in their absence. So, there was
fraud. Who was responsible? Somebody
summoned that meeting.

“The Clerk of the National Assembly was
fully aware that only PDP senators were
present in the Chambers. A sprinkling of APC
members there were trying to remind him
and he ruled the person out of order. So,
for me, that gives the impression that the
Clerk of the National Assembly was involved
in the conspiracy. That is the impression.
What is more, even if that did not happen, I
will accuse him of involvement because he
knew without being told that only one party
was present and that surely cannot have
been the spirit of the Constitution when it
says that once the proclamation has been
made, members of Senate who have just been
elected would then appoint their officers.
“That’s not what it intended. It didn’t
intend that some people would be diverted
away and one party would then come there
in their absence and fraudulently elect
somebody of their wish in the absence of the
hapless group that has been deceived out of
the Assembly. Who do I blame? I blame the
clerk of the National Assembly, because he’s
the person responsible for all this. He might
have been pressured and all that, but
nothing would have happened if he did not
participate in the conspiracy. So I blame him
primarily.”

Sagay further stated that there was no
quorum for electing principal officers.
“There is the law, and there is the spirit of
the law. If you practice the law, or
implement the law, or enforce the law
without the spirit, it is void. It’s just like a
body which doesn’t have a soul or spirit,
that body is dead. The law says that a
quorum is one-third, and that when you are
taking decisions, unless it is exceptionally
stated, generally when you are taking
decisions, then a simple majority is all that
is required.

“Those are the dry letters of the law. In
this particular issue, we have a new Senate
being proclaimed. We have a Senate which
has many parties. What has happened is that
the party that has the majority was
somehow deceived out of the premises and
other people went behind and surreptitiously
and fraudulently purported to have Senate
proceedings going on. That fraud cannot be
legitimate regardless of the technical words
of the Constitution, because the spirit is not
there.”

He said “Senator Saraki cannot enjoy any
legitimacy because he is there by fraud; he is
there by impunity; he is there by the
grossest act of indiscipline of the worst
type of political culture. So, he lacks
legitimacy. He may be sitting there now but
nobody has any respect for that seat as
long as he sits there because he has brought
shame on the whole country. Now, as far as
I am concerned, this people have a right to
go to court, because a fraudulent election
cannot constitute a legitimate basis for
establishing Senate leadership. It was a
fraudulent election.

“What really happened yesterday (Tuesday),
in my view, is not a victory for democracy,
but a victory for impunity, a victory for
fraud and a victory for political desperation
and indiscipline, and it must not stand. If we
in this country are to go with the new
change brought by the fresh breath of air
that is blowing across the country, if we are
to sustain it, then what happened yesterday
(Tuesday) must be swept away because it is
contrary to the fibre of the whole Nigeria.
“My opposition to his sitting illegitimately in
that office is not because of his (Saraki’s)
“baggage”; he may not be my first choice.
But if he had won legitimately, in a fair,
square and equitable way, I would have no
objection. Yes, he has a huge baggage.

Presently as far as I know, he’s under
investigation and possibly a lot of inquiry by
the EFCC. The matter has not been cleared.
“Normally, it would be better for the first
arm of government – that is what the
legislature is, and he is the third most senior
political personality in the country – for
that person to have a clear table; not to
have any baggage hanging around his neck,
because if you have a heavy baggage like
that hanging on your neck, and you’re
presiding over such an important
establishment, then that establishment is
also going to carry that heavy weight of a
burden along with you, and it will necessarily
affect the respect and intergrity which his
decisions will have and the whole process of
operation of that institution will be impeded
by that heavy load.”

Politics / Senate Presidency: Saraki- Led APC Lawmakers Endorse David Mark For 3rd Term by oluvick(m): 8:57pm On Jun 08, 2015
Nigeria - Following
disagreement over the selection
of a candidate for senate
presidency, some disgruntled
APC senators have decided to
back David Mark for a third
term as the senate president,
Sahara Reporters says.

Some APC lawmakers led by for
former Governor Bukola Saraki
of Kwara State have reportedly
reached an alliance with People’s
Democratic Party lawmakers
overnight to present a PDP
candidate as President of the
Senate. Immediate past Senate
President, David Mark, was
named as the likely beneficiary
of Mr. Saraki’s revolt.

Also it is reported that former
Senate President David Mark has
been mobilizing disgruntled APC
senators to back him for a third
term in the premier post at the
Senate, Sahara Reporters added.

Another source disclosed that
several PDP senators were
demanding outrageous sums of
money from APC leaders in
exchange for casting their votes
for candidates favored by the
party.

Politics / New Ekiti Lawmakers Not Better Than Town Councillors – APC by oluvick(m): 7:12am On Jun 08, 2015
ADO EKITI—The All Progressives Congress, APC, in
Ekiti State has described last Friday’s prostration
by the new set of lawmakers before Governor Ayo
Fayose as a democratic sacrilege indicative of the
collapse of the legislative arm of government.

The party in a statement issued in Ado Ekiti said
the new set of lawmakers had shown their lack of
courage and were not better than town
councillors.

A statement by Publicity Secretary, Taiwo
Olatubosun, said the membership profile in the new
Assembly had revealed many men and women
lacking skills in tedious business of law-making
were ‘selected’ to be members of the Assembly
above eminently qualified Ekiti sons and daughters
to enable the governor breathe on them to always
have his way. Only few of them are worthy of the
exalted position of legislators.

His words: “We all saw the intrigues that
characterized the primaries that returned the new
members. It was ballot snatching and violence on a
massive scale. The same for April 11 Assembly poll.

“Fayose’s public declaration of political death for
any member who works against his interest points
to where Ekiti people are headed in the business of
lawmaking in the next four years.

“We saw the first public declaration of loyalty by
the Assembly members on the day of the
inauguration when they all prostrated for Fayose
in the chambers, stating he is their father.

Politics / Of All Institutions In Nigeria Police Has Least Corrupt Officers – IGP by oluvick(m): 7:03am On Jun 08, 2015
ABUJA—The Inspector General of Police, IGP
Solomon Arase has declared that the Nigerian
Police, has the least corrupt officers of all the
institutions in the country, even as the Police is
determined to follow up any corrupt cases before
it in accordance with constitutional provisions.

Speaking at the annual symposium during a Feast
of Barracuda organised by the National
Association of Seadogs, the Inspector General of
Police, Mr. Solomon Arase noted that the Police
had made frantic efforts in tackling corruption
even among the officers and had set in motion
machinery to fish out corrupt officers in the
force.

The IGP, who was represented by the
Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory,
Mr. Wilson Inalegwu said that the practical step to
deal with corruption was to dismantle road blocks
by Police and the establishment of Monitoring
Teams to ensure compliance across the country.

He said: “The IG said he is allergic to corruption
and since then he has taken practical steps to deal
with the issue of corruption, both the history of
corruption and perception of corruption of the
Nigeria Police Force.

“One of the first things he did was to set up the
IGP’s Monitoring Teams. First of all the decision
by the Police Management Team was to take out
roadblocks across all our highways. It was not
just to dismantle it, he set up the IGP Monitoring
Team to ensure that these directives are
enforced.”

“If you go across most of our highways now
roadblocks have been reduced to the barest
minimum, and anybody mounting roadblocks, does
that at his risk.

“Presentations are also made where Commissioners
of Police are invited to look at the situations
across the country right from the condition of
suspects in Police cells and they have a technical
platform that enable them to monitor the
behaviour and conduct of police officers on the
road as they handle suspects.

On the issue of welfare of police and
accommodation the IG met with the OC Works
across the country and they concluded to have
6,000 affordable houses for officers across the
country.

“The IG said bail is free! Help lines have been
provided where you can supply information. You
can call to inform that you went to this station
and paid this amount and I can assure you, action
will be taken. Bail is free, the monitoring teams are
going round to practically deal with those avenues
that can lead to corruption.

“The Nigeria Police has the capacity to investigate
any corrupt case under the laws, either the
Crminal Code law or the Penal Code law. The Police
has the competence and the capacity to
investigate corrupt cases.

“The Police management under Solomon Arase is
doing everything possible to eliminate corruption
and has taken practical steps leading to that.

“Once corruption cases are given to the police, the
cases must be investigated. The Police is the least
corrupt officers in every organisation because it
has an in house way of dealing with the issue of
organisation, trying officers, arresting officers
who engage in corrupt practices.

“I think you can hardly find institutions that is
like Police taking practical steps to deal with
corruption, all I want to say by way of challenge is
have confidence in the Police.”

In his own address, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria,
SAN, Mr. Paul Erokoro said that the fight against
corruption in the country will not produce any
good results with corrupt leaders on the saddle.
Erokoro declared that it should be made
compulsory for every public officer in the country
to declare his or her assets publicly as a way
tackle corruption

Delivering a paper on ‘ A New Dawn in Nigeria:
Practical steps to eliminate corruption’, Mr.
Erokoro noted that everybody in the country had
been part of of the corruption problem in the past
and had remained part of the problem at the
present time, stressing that hardly any public
officer live with his salary.

He said that corruption in the country is pervasive
and that a practical step to show that the
country is serious to fight corruption is by the
President to declare his assets publicly, then
ensures that his Ministers follow suite as well as all
public officers.

“We should lead by example and it involves people
insisting that the President should declare his
assets in public
He said that all high level officials ranging from,
President, Ministers, Legislators, CBN Governors,
Police and Customs Officers, Military Officers
should declare their assets publicly and should also
sign a statement granting permission to
banks,moth local and foreign, real estate and
investment houses to disclose any personal assets
they hold.

He further suggested that there should be
scrutiny of people’s income and withholding of aid
by international donors if the country really is
interested in fighting corruption.

He said that many attempts made to eliminate
corruption in the country had been symbolic and
half hazard as those in charge of waging
corruption war were not committed.

He maintained that if the head of any organisation
is clean, it will be difficult for those under him to
be dirty and that the President should insist that
every minister declares his assets publicly as well
as outlaw opening of foreign accounts.
