But you did not answer the question by seunmg.

Did they resign in the sense of it? Did they tender their resignation letters? If they did and they were accepted by the president, which offices would they walk into and in what capacities?

Please respond.

DIKEnaWAR:
Femi Falana talks most times as if he is the law and only legal authority in the world. Did Malami and Ngige write resignation letters?

If they have not returned their nomination forms, fully filled and signed, then they cannot be said to be contesting for the office and if they didn't send a resignation letter to the President, they have not resigned.

I no send them or this govt, but the law is the law.

Mohammed, while speaking, said: “You will recall that on Wednesday, Mr. President directed and I informed you that all ministers and other political appointees who aspire to contest for elective offices in 2023 general elections should resign their current appointments.

“This morning, there was a valedictory service for 10 members of the Federal Executive Council who have indicated their desire to aspire for higher offices. Nine of them were present the 10th was absent with apology.

Cogent questions

seunmsg:
The question is, did they resign at anytime before the withdrawal of their political ambition?

unite4real:



He talks as if he is only learned. As if we are not aware that they never resigned their appointment. Also they never submitted forms to contest presidency.

At least the article should show us their respective resignation letters.

As a lawyer, he should not behave like an opposition party for say things to feed their narratives.

I may not approve of Malami and Ngige but the law is what it is

bigeagleeye:


What have you said differently from what he said now? How reasonable is your thinking that there's direct correlation between filling form blablabla and resigning? If they had a farewell (valedictory) FEC meeting with/for them, do you need a prophet to know they resigned?

I'm concerned with your unnecessary affront on the stand of the learned person, a stand which you turned around to corroborate! I don't know why you have problem with him taking a stand on sensitive national issues as if you have personal scores to settle with him.

If he didn't talk, your likes will still say where are the senior lawyers in the land. You guys are just confused!

SmartPolician:
Femi Falana dey him house dey quote the law. He probably forgot that he's dealing with a Nigerian man with we die here mentality. Oga lawyer, after quoting the constitution, make sure you drag him out of the office.

Rupertek:


But the fact remains that the 2 ministers never resigned. Go check the records. Even the valedatery meeting, they were not there. So, Falana jumped the gun. He didn't produce any evidence to suggest the 2 ministers resigned, they didn't. They bought presidential forms and never returned them, that means they are not aspirants

Thank you, this is the simple question that I expect sound minds to ask! And the learned man wasn't ambiguous in anyway.

I'm worried about how we have too many young people with dumb questions and uncoordinated thinking on nairaland.

Rupertek:

But the 2 ministers never resigned at anytime. There was no single report anywhere that they resigned. If there is, post it, let's see. The legal luminary just jumped the gun.

bigeagleeye:
Long talk with zero logic..he should show you their resignation letters before taking a position with the law? How more dumb can the expectations of some young people's minds be?

In the last 7yrs of the administration, or even the administrations before..how many times have they organized valedictory sessions in FEC for the sake of doing movies or cracking ribs?

Since you'll need your PA that you appointed in charge of Cabinet Services to deliver resignation letters to your doorstep before you use your God given capacity to reason.

Mars16:
Now I'm no lawyer but if Mr. Falana SAN is right then things should be done constitutionally and rightly. We should say NO to illegality and the president should reappoint them or they should rest.

The ministers are those seeking various elective offices in the 2023 general election. They include transportation minister Rotimi Amaechi, justice minister Abubakar Malami and labour minister Chris Ngige.

Not all of them have, however, submitted their resignation letters, information minister Lai Mohammed told journalists.

Also, Mr Malami, who earlier on Friday had tweeted that he had submitted his resignation letter, later deleted the tweet, sparking speculations that he had withdrawn the letter

Buckeyemedia1:
E be like say Falana dey eye Malami post?

Johnames:
Na everything this one dey fault

unite4real:


Gbam. Since he was not offered from day one, nigga has been foolishly critical

telleyway:


If they had not resigned, what were they doing at the farewell meeting?

Pele10:
Falan forming over sabi in every matter, quoting sections and subsections that are not relevant. The AGF Abubakar malami is also a lawyer we will soon hear his counter quot.

Rupertek:


Ngige was not at the farewell meeting. Malami was there as part of his job, as the chief legal officer. Go check the records again

Mohammed listed the former ministers who attended the session as Rotimi Amaechi (Transportation), Chris Ngige (Labour and Employment), Godswill Akpabio (Niger Delta Affairs), Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu (Science and Technological Innovation), Timipre Sylva (State, Petroleum Resources), Tayo Alasoadura (State, Niger Delta Affairs), Dame Tallen Paulen (Women Affairs), Uche Ogar (State, Mines and Steel Development), Abubakar Malami (Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice) and Emeka Nwajuba (State for Education) who was absent but with a permission.
