Obidients (headquarter of misinformation) left immediately

Anticipated Number or Participants: 100
Person(s) in Charge: Franklin Ekechukwu

The eastern message is so loud and clear.

Why didn't keep your mandate very well?

Corridon:
Tinubu should return the stolen mandate.

SEUN has started suspending them.

raskymonojendor:
I am suprised that the Obidients have not littered this thread with funny posts.

Please who he made a payment on Booking.com lately with master card?

Breaking the Law: Number 1
In Nigeria, a person is statutorily obligated to withdraw from engaging in or directing a private business, except if it is farming, upon becoming a public officer, Section Six (6) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act stipulates.

However, our investigation, based on records obtained from the UK Companies House shows that Mr Obi continued to be a director of Next International (UK) Limited for 14 months after becoming the governor of Anambra State, thereby breaking Nigeria’s law. The politician resigned from the company on May 16, 2008, 14 months after he assumed duties as Anambra governor. He took office on March 17, 2006.

Mr Obi did not dispute the records PREMIUM TIMES cited but he claimed he “resigned immediately” by handing his wife his resignation letter. He suggested that his company might have failed to effect the changes on time or the UK Companies House did not immediately document his exit. But the UK companies registry said Mr Obi indeed resigned on May 16, 2008, and that it received his notice of resignation for electronic filing on June 16, 2008.

Breaking the law: Number 2
Nigerian public officers are required to declare “immediately after taking office and thereafter all” their properties, assets, and liabilities and those of his (or her) unmarried children under the age of eighteen years,” Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution stipulates (Section 11, Part of the Fifth Schedule).

PREMIUM TIMES investigation also found that Mr Obi breached this constitutional provision on assets declaration. We can authoritatively report that Mr Obi did not declare to the Code of Conduct Bureau the companies he tucked away in offshore secrecy havens.

Mr Obi caused to be created for him a structure of secrecy that had previously, until the Pandora Papers investigation, meant he could continue to hold foreign assets in a way that breaches Nigeria’s law without the knowledge of authorities in the country. In an extra layer of secrecy, Mr Obi used paid nominees as directors, while he remains the ultimate beneficial owner, making it nearly impossible to discover his interests in those companies but we obtained rare incorporation documents proving his link.

Otherwise, Mr Obi could have forever hoped to continue to hold the assets, that he did not declare when he had a statutory obligation to do so as a governor, without any authority or the public calling him to account.

In his response, Mr Obi ridiculously suggested that those offshore companies and assets are jointly owned with his family members and that he was not under obligation to declare companies jointly owned. “I don’t declare what is owned with others,” Mr Obi told PREMIUM TIMES. “If my family owns something I won’t declare it. I didn’t declare anything I jointly owed with anyone.”

This is contrary to the position of the Constitution, which specifies the declaration of all assets, whether jointly or partly owned, PREMIUM TIMES’ reporters told Mr Obi. He said he was not aware of that provision of the law.

Nevertheless, leaked records show Mr Obi is the sole ultimate beneficial owner of the offshore companies. So he did not even jointly own it with anyone.

In that case, Mr Obi has violated Nigeria’s Code of Conduct law and, if authorities decide to act appropriately, he could be arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, a special court that tries public officers for any contravention of the Code of Conduct for Nigerian public officers as spelt out in the Fifth Schedule of the Nigerian constitution.

The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) were established to enforce “a high standard of morality in the conduct of government business, and to ensure that the actions and behaviour of public officers conform to the highest standards of public morality and accountability.”

Breaking the law: Number 3
The former governor could be charged with failing to declare his offshore holdings and their associated assets and operating foreign accounts while being a public officer.

The Nigerian constitution and the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act forbid a public officer from maintaining or operating a bank account outside Nigeria. However, as a governor, Mr. Obi continued to operate and maintain foreign accounts, including with Lloyds TSB.

Mr. Obi told PREMIUM TIMES that he received the advice to create an offshore structure from Lloyds TSB, which then introduced him to intermediaries who helped him to set up com where he continued to operate a foreign account as a governor.

The offences violate sections of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended.

Asked if he is concerned that Nigerians would be disappointed at him following our finding of his opaque and lawless dealings as a governor, Mr Obi said he was more concerned about his U.K. and U.S. schools alumni network, his business and foreign creditors. He insisted that he served well as Anambra governor and Nigerians already have their opinions about him.

The former governor could be charged for failing to declare the company and its associated assets and perhaps operating foreign accounts while being a public officer.

Mr Obi told PREMIUM TIMES that he received the advice to create an offshore structure from Lloyds where he continued to operate a foreign account as a governor.

The offences violate sections of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended.

Stop arguing blindly and do some research now... Pick your phone, go to chrome, click on search column, press GOOGLE, click on the search column then press "SECTION 299 of Nigerian Constitution"

Then, come back and continue this conversation.

Abuja is not a state. The Constitution of Nigeria did not recognise Abuja as a state. The Constitution of Nigeria said: a presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 2/3 of the number of Nigeria's states .. And Abuja.
If I need 24 persons and Mr Voucher, if the 24 persons come to me without Mr Voicher, my need has not been met without the arrival of Mr Voucher.
The same way the constitution says 24 states AND Abuja.

FUNNY COMMENT!!!

That's why the constitution made it clear that FCT is a state when it comes to Election in section 199 of the Nigerian Constitution. The residents of FCT have the right to vote and be voted for which was why it was captured in the section 134 of the constitution. If not, votes from FCT will not valid.

FCT doesn't have any special treatment when it comes to election. FCT is a STATE like the other 36 states when it comes to election.

onuman:
Abuja is where the president lives and governs through the boss of the Federal Capital territory.
The makers of the Constitution made getting 25% of the votes from residents of Abuja compulsory for every presidential candidate because one must get approval from the people one governs, so that the governance system will be with ease.

YES!

We are enjoying the privileges of a state in Abuja.

1. Taxes are no longer going to FIRS, we remit to Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT IRS), like all other states have their State Board of Internal Revenue.
2. Health Insurance are no longer with NHIS, we have FCT Health Insurance Scheme, just to mention few...

onatisi:
so this means that abuja too is enjoying the full privileges too of a state and that it is just another state, judging from what you just wrote . then the best thing is for the national assembly to remove the portion causing all these wahala from the constitution

I am coming back to this comment after the court ruling by then you will understand that FCT is a state when it comes to Election.

ogwumgbe:
No atom of twisting can change the fact that 25% is needed in Abuja also for someone to be declared winner. A state that doesn't have a governor? Is that what you call a state? A state which it's sole adminstrator is appointed and not elected? just go and sit down. FCT is Federal Capital territory and not FCT state,

It's you that is saying rubbish.

ogwumgbe:
You are saying rubbish, FCT is not a state it's a federal capital territory and the law specifically mentioned two thirds of all the states { and} the federal capital territory, the constitution is plain there even to a lay man's understanding. There's no muthafucking SAN that will say otherwise and if the SC refused to do the needful, then there's no constitution in Nigeria period

Check Section 299 of the Nigerian Constitution. I bet you will delete this comment

karnap:
The law didn't say,we have 37 state,
They are trying to bent the law for the their selfish interest.


Why can't they asked the question during the amendment of the constitution.


Abuja is not a state.
Law didn't provide that.

I hope Peter Obi's lawyers and FCT residents are seeing this? If these people are saying FCT is now suddenly treated as a state during elections then, FCT must be given the right to choose their Governor, House of Assembly members, House of Representatives members, additional 2 senators and other privileges they've been denied.

A Governor where there is Sitting President?
