It won't have any effect on Saraki's case. It is a trite principle of law that, the rules of court in effect when a matter comes up is what the court will use in deciding the case. The rules of court here is the ACJA. Rules of court is a procedural law and not substantive law. The Rules applicable now will be used to decide his case and not the prospective rules.
My argument is about the principle of "retrospective in criminal trial".

I see, thank you very much!

odikimi:
The constitution in section 36 ( talks about the right against retrospective application of punishment. The constitution is against charging someone to court for an act which was not an offence when it was committed. The constitution goes against the legislation of retrospective criminal laws to enhance punishment. The legislature can make a law and backdate same provided the punishment can't be backdated.
In other angle, the CCT is not a superior court of record. Go and read the supreme court decisions about the Trade Dispute Act. This prompted the NASS to amend the constitution and include the Industrial Court to be among the superior courts of record.
This Saraki's case will take a long time to be finalized. I am speaking from the bar with my 6yrs experience as a learned man. So many issues will rise against the powers of the cct to cloth itself as a criminal court. Read the thread again and see the argument of my learned senior, Senator N. Peter about the contravention of the CCB act against the constitution and that of the ACJA which vested the cct with the power to use it's rules.

I will like you to throw more light this intending law will have on Saraki's case.. Thank you!

All this Yorubas forming saints here attacking Chukwudi44 left & right are the same shameless hypocrites that are always ready to defend Tinubu whenever his issue comes up. Saraki is saint until he becomes senate president.. Bunch of hypocrites..

I don't give a flying fvck about Saraki anyway!
I laugh when they call Chukwudi44 Pa A young intelligent guy enjoying his life.. You guys should keep fooling around.

Naija's destiny is not tied to the US/UK, all the years of neo-colonialism is why they don't want to let go!! Evil western demons!!

but he ran to UK and US before and after election.. ICC's chief prosecutor is currently in Nigeria to investigate extra-judicial killings by Buhari's army.. The Daura ediot is finished!

LemonBoy1:
will you lead?

I have been participating.

This is the best time for IPOB to resume it's protest..

whirlwind7:
Yeah....this is possible. Very possible. When I read about his office getting a licence to operate a private university, it occurred to me that he is very likely going to be a stakeholder in it.

However, is there any proof of this?

No proof yet but there some salient questions that begs for answer which makes my assertion 90% correct. Why will a governor partner with an investor to build a new University where as the current one owned by the State is on strike (as at last week) because of lack of funds?

Will the owners of the cattle pay tax to the state government on which the grazing reserve is situated? ... Northerners are trying very hard to grab our lands down south here but we are not seeing it. Why is that it's only southern Muslims that are supporting this crazy bill down south here?

whirlwind7:
The heading made it seem like the license was given to Okorocha to run a private school, but it seemed the partnership is between the government of Imo state and certain private investor(s)

It's all good, though.

which private investors? You talk as if you don't know how this politicians run things in this country.. Those investors are just used as a front by the governor. He just wanna use Imo state resources to build his private university while still on seat. Same thing Oshiomole did in Edi State.

Babzrockman:
Tweeter senator leaves his primary assigment and busy writing trash on twitter. When he was busy writing on social media, Jibrin was busy removing Lagos-Calabar rail project from budget.
Carelessness on the part of South south senators led to the removal of this project right under their noses.

When you guys singles out a region to blame, I don't usually know what you guys have in mind. Are you blaming SS alone as of the railway line project is for SS alone? The whole southern region SS/SE/SW should take the blame.

obailala:
Everything in Nigeria is turned to foolish politics and every emeka, tunde and yusuf myopically becomes a political theorist, albeit dumb ones. What have Nigerian youths been turned into for Christ sake? How did the minds of Nigerian youths get so depraved to even think in this manner?... For all those in this thread saying they do not want a high speed rail, you guys should kindly speak for daft selves; there are many who need it.

Op, the proposed rail passes through the entire SS region and it passes the SE city of Aba before getting to PH. There is also a spur from benin to Asaba and Onitsha. Quit playing dumb politics with everything.

Show us the map from a reliable source and stop this your malicious lies and deception against SE.. I have been watching you lately on NL here but continue, you will be exposed very soon.

This country is really divided now more than ever.. While will the appropriation committee of both chambers chaired by northerners? ...

Anyway whatever they are doing, they should do it quick and let the president sign the budget when he comes back. Who even knows when he is coming back?

What are they even gonna do? The senate has said "no going back on the budget, if the presidency wants the project, they should send a supplimentary budget".. Let's just wait and see how it pans out.

Be like say this movie go sweet!

pre88:
imagine our leaders, how will be insulting publicly like that, what are they teaching their younger followers. I can't remember any APC member insulting directly like this

You are a hopeless hypocrite.. Spits on your head!

See as lying Zombies are running amok on this thread ... APC and hypocrisy are like hard co.rk and wet pvssy

Had it been you continued from where Egwu stopped, Ebonyi would've been ahead of all her mates and even ahead of states older than her. But it's was quite unfortunate that in your 8 years reign , you didn't commission any single project rather, you continued fighting with everybody including your own wife .. What a pity. You really rubbished your meritorious fight for the creation of Ebonyi State. Just leave politics and get some rest, it's not your calling, just like my father.. Both of you fought for the creation of Ebonyi successfully but you forgot him throughout the 8 years you were governor. Just keep quite and stop talking

Krismart:
Just like they manufactured a video tape last week telling us that its from boko Haram and they are about to surrender. Lies upon lies. To them everything na politics

Your head dey there my brother.. God will catch them very soon.

LilNetty:
And who are the Animals

are you the one on your profile pic?

There are so many untold stories going on in North East but as usual, the zoo government are busy dishing us lies upon lies to cover up their incompetence.

where is the video?

Nigeria is a "wild zoo"

Even Mandela spent 27 years in prison when he was fighting for his people, he was even labeled as a terrorist but we all know what happened at the end.. The rest they say is history. I'm glad Kanu is still courageous in all this misfortune. Just hang in there dear, God gat your back... Road to freedom is never an easy ride.

Mouth action

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/privatisation-of-phcn-a-fraudelectricity-workers-tell-buhari/

My favorite part is where Jonathan has paid over 200 Billion to PHCN a private sector

If that's not fraudulent I do not know what is

Oh , and find out who owns Forte Oil PLC and Amperion Power company let me know what you think

And what is your messiah Buhari waiting for before revoking the privatization if it's fraudulent? Why is he comfortable working with a fraudulent process? The said N200B paid, in what capacity and terms & condition? It was given as a loan which will be repaid back later so, what is wrong with that? ...By the way, you haven't answered my question.. Are they qualified to buy PHCN or not?

Abagworo:
APC has been playing Mr Nice Guy which I don't support. They should stop worrying about people voting and just announce whatever result they please. That was what PDP did in Rivers State and Abia State in 2015. People's vote never counts.

This is the hypocrite that once said he is apolitical but only stands for good governance.. You are a shameless old man. Spits on your head!

My question is why is INEC delaying the announcement of all the result but chose to announce it piece meal? What is really happening to the unannounced result now? And nobody is talking about it.. This will plunge this country to crises of unchecked.

DaBullIT:
Did you even read the story from the beginning ? my first comment and his first response ??

You said that GEJ sold PHCN to his buddies and I asked you, are they not qualified to buy PHCN? Who are his buddies that bought PHCN if I may ask?

DaBullIT:
If that's how they reverse it , wouldn't the world be a better place ?


Maybe you are the one who needs sense

How would you feel if you bought a house, paid , documents handed over and because of a dispute at the owner of the house's family or company , another member of the family tells you to vacate the house or they want to reverse the contract ?

Oponu

Those who bought PHCN, are they qualified to buy it or not? You guys are very shameless..

mulattoclaro:
Criminality and negativity runs in the DNA of these people.

look at this Benin criminal talking

Fizzbizzie:
How now? He answered to a very irresponsible statement from kachukwu.. Showing that he has the interest of the nation in heart and you talk about tinubu like this.. He got the apc party to the position it is based on merit.. And I think the kachukwu statement was highly irresponsible and would have been strongly criticised in nations that don't condone mediocrity

but you formed deaf when Adesina said that we should go and fight the vandals if we want electricity .. What will you call that? Why are you people so tribalistic like this?
