No sane person will call this anti-corruption. this is all politics

Corruption can never be fought, maybe another way, but definitely not this way.

The Yam and Goat theory might be the best afterall.

Assuming Buhari successfully fight corruption what about his successor?

Strong institutions better than strong personality.

interesting....

Am yet to feel his body Language, I only feel that on Nairaland, I cnt point out wat Buhari av really done so far, I see people talking abt Electricity, over here, it got Worse after Election, am typing from Abia state

I'm sure yuo heard the interview he granted News 24 in France where he labelled ministers 'noise makers'. Preferring to work with the civil service/servants.

The fact that he is yet to announce his cabinet 4 months into his tenure pays credence to this.

I'd like to believe he reluctantly came up with the september deadline just for peple to get off his back.

I too like naija politics with their movie

One of the challenges we have is the Judiciary, I have had cases in court where we need the court to hear an application for the release of inmate detained unjustifiably by asking for Fundamental Right, the fastest you will get hearing from the court is 2- weeks and above, simply because the person involved is not a VIP or wealthy. Saraki was served on Wednesday and he already had the audience of another court that same day. If this is how our court operates normally, by now our society would have been better. If you are privileged to know anybody working in the Prisons Service, tell them I told you a lie, that 30-40 % of people in our prisons Nationwide are AWAITING TRIAL (some of them are innocent and only need the court to fast tract their hearing until the court sets them free), some of them spend decades in the prison without conviction and sentence just because the Court would be dragging on their issues. If the court gives this kind of speed (24 hours) to cases concerning the poor, then we would have a just society. By the way, I thought he should have filed a Preliminary Objection at CCT instead of Ex -Parte application in another court.

sadoz:
I thought saraki said he ll meet CCB and his detractors in court. Dude z a thief...a big Tim thief and liar

So is Buhari and all others. There's no one worthy of leading honestly among the present crop of politicians.

If u doub it, shebi bubu na c-in-c, ehm, make him ask the military to release his certs. U see what I mean? . That's the genesis.

The judiciary would be downfall of fight against corruption. When a criminal knows he can get an injunction against the police, EFCC. iCPC or any other body what is the use of those bodies.

And the professional ethics of the judges who are complicit in these exercises should be analysed by their respective professional bodies.

These guys are undermining the same rule of law they are elected to defend.

As Femi Falana would say "rules of law" one for the politically allied and one for the rest of us

this to me indicates that the CCB/CCT tribunal's case against Saraki is dead on arrival as they have to prove in court why he has been singled out for prosecution out of the lot that are in similar situation....

IbokUtoroh:
Apc the defenders of corruption since 23AD.
Baba paiting kwarupshun with mouth odour.

with your clean and odourless mouth what have you achieved Mr nairalander

I agree with u, option 3 and final option 'elimination'. Corruption will definitely fight back

presido1:
And you think Falana cannot be bribed/influenced. Well if that is so they will take the next alternative, elimination.

PMB is an illiterate yet he is a fmr gov,minister,head of state and currently the president of the most populous black nation in the world wailers please pray for me I want to be an illiterate like president buhari

chukwudi44:


Buhari would know very soon the difference between 2015 and 1984.Ngeneukwu how market

If na 1984, by now Saraki for don dey chop koboko. Anyway, this is hoping that baba's eye go finally clear say to pight kwarruftion no dey easy, strong institutions not strong men are needed.

ExInferis:
Are you talking about GEJ's rule?

Nope, I think what easily leaps to mind is the invasion of Akwa-Ibom government house, the sacking of Marilyn Ogar's younger sister (DSS) the beating and phone snatching by Al-Makura's thugs (police), the invitation to lunch of Saraki's wife (EFCC) and all that has happened in a space of 120 odd days!! More still loading. Take heart you all.

Saraki as a gentleman has respected the president enough but the dog that will get lost will never hear the whisle of his master. Constitutionally Buhari cannot remove Saraki but Saraki can through impeachment. Very soon buhari will exhaust his intimedation and thats when Saraki will strike. Certain president will soon make history.

FastShipping:
This country will never progress. It will never progress when you have courts restraining police, EFCC, ICPC, and law enforcement personnel in general from performing their duties.

The courts should allow this case to be argued in court. The court can then dismiss the case during preliminary hearing if the case is frivolous.

Nigerian courts are threat to Nigerian democracy.

Only if it is not for witchhunting exercise.
Where were CCB since 2006 that they suddenly realised that SARAKI committed a crime.the answer is simple WITCH HUNTING.

bettercreature:
We are doom in this country,no way out...PMB need to go autocratic,that is the only solution or else there will never be any fight against corruption

This is democracy,if he tries that,impeachment follows.he does not have the balls to fight corruption cause a kettle cannot call pot black na.

Honestly courts and the judiciary are threats to our democracy

Or maybe you mean the invasion of Nass, the sacking of sanusi lamido, the rigging of ekiti with soldiers, the withdrawal of tambuwal's security...

Do you have sound transformer in your area before complaining? Abi na buhari go come check transformer wey una dey use for una?
Have you been to filling station since buhari took over? Did u notice that all petrol stations sells PMS at 97 naira unlike what we have been experiencing during fedora hat man?

presido1:
Are they not meeting in the court on 21 sept.?

The step Saraki took is LEGAL but not RIGHT. In this situation which one supersede the other?

I will like know a nation that developed under democracy.

My brother, the only thing that matters is LEGALITY of any move.
How many cases will they bring against Saraki & his wife?

If he was a mere poodle in the party, would he face all these cases?

It's the same thing PDP has been doing. Whether Alamienseigha or Bode George.
Only those who proved stubborn were dragged to court by the powers-that-be.

This doesn't look like change to me.

A change would be EVERYONE suspected of corruption going to court to defend themselves. Beginning with IBB, OBJ, GEJ to include Tinubu, Amaechi, Saraki and others. They know know themselves.

When MONEY is involved in games its always bloody.....

Seriously I think this country has a long way to go and more fences to scale through. The Judiciary will do more harm than good to this country as they always do and like my brothers above me said democracy can be frustrating at times and all what Justice Ahmed Mohammed want the CCB and others to come and defend are baseless. If he(Saraki) knows he was not guilty of the 13 count charges let him go and defend himself in court. Also I think is high time for all the youths to wake up from our slumber and stop all this sentiments and ethnic based comments. God Bless Nigeria.

And today is Thursday.

Barking Buhari, when will u bite?

nobeku:
The Senate and not Saraki, ratifies ministers to be appointed by the President.. saraki can't do jack..

We would soon find out

My brother, Saraki is just TOO TINY in the scheme of things to flex muscles for PMB.. Buhari is NOT HIS mate or anything close to that, in any ramification, from time immemorial ..if you read the constitution, you will find out that the president has many ways of going around the issue of Ministers.. Read chapter 6 of the Nigerian constitution... Under the Subheading "Executive".. Section 147,subsection 2...
