I will continue to defend Good people with good intentions and not criminals and looters like Bukola Saraki.

I will never allow my partisanship to becloud my responsibility of justice to the oppressed.

Saraki and his cohorts are looters, oppressors and fraudsters.

They should be made to face the full wrath of the law. angry

Both the CCB and the CCT would be in serious trouble by monday!! The CCT chairman even had the effrontery to declare it has equal jurisdiction with the FHC!! What impudence and contempt of court!!!
Both of you are crazy, The criminals in your eastern region have rendered your home and ancestral land comatose and turned you into day light refugees, shouldnt you rather turn your search light on the East and let us (Westerners) deal with this matter. Saraki is going to Jail.

That's Agbakoba's perception of the law. Another lawyer will interpret differently. Lawyers,when you are done destroying Nigeria,kindly let me know.

Most people are even missing the main point. The CCB CANNOT institute a case against anyone without an attorney-general.
APC desperation is to remove Saraki before presenting their ministerial list to the senate for confirmation. In fact, I think it is part of the delay tactics of Buhari not able to appoint his cabinets 4months after being sworn in as president. The lynch mob won't listen to voice of reason now. All they want is bailing for blood. I am beginning to feel we are back to the days of militocracy...
the supreme court ruled that the office of the Attorney General is an office of perpetual succession and continues to function even in the absence of an attorney general.that ruling was in a case involving the ANPP more than ten years ago.I can't remember the exact case.

Until wen d masses stop supporting thieves b4 dis country will move forward, it beats my imagination while sm1 who is being tried for looting av dis kind of support from the poor masses, be it Tinubu, fashola, Amechi, or Saraki shud b left to face d full wrath of the law, let the Agbakobas do d interpretation of the law dat is dea work. But for a poor nairalander to b so vocal for a person being tried for looting our common wealth is a big shame, I weep for dis country.

Your hatred for Tinubu the Chief of Nigeria corruption and the biggest scammer in Africa is second to none in my books.

Let stop supporting corrupt people.
Chief FireFire
Most people who are calling for the head of Saraki are doing so because he dared stand in the path of the Jagubantis of Bourdillon, if it were Tinubu in this mess, your opinion will be like a lone wolf in the wilderness because you will see the same people who are verbally hounding Saraki do a 360 degree.

You on the other hand want the rule of law followed, right?
Do you honestly think that the CCT got it right this time? What is all this tussle about?
If this is not what we clearly know it to be, proper channels would have been followed and Saraki convicted.....looong before 2015!
Why now? Why now?
Why oust Saraki and enthrone a higher level corruption that will consume us all.

My conscience is my guide on this....and so is many of us.
If it gives anyone a sense of peace to declare that we support corruption, good and fine.

But even you, and everyone else know that this is extreme political witch-hunting for daring the powers that be.
It's just that some of us want to sound politically correct at all costs hence the "kill him kill him" chant.

Saraki whether convicted or not, in my opinion is a treacherous no gooder. He is a betrayer without compare and probably a thief as he's been labelled.
Still,
I have no pity and sympathy for people who knew the right thing to do all along but kept mute, waiting for a highest bidder to come around. No I don't.

Saraki must go to jail

Fashola must go to jail

Even Tinubu must go to jail.

Say NO to corruption.

There is quite a lot of confusion about this CCB and CCT of a thing and the media people reporting this matter are also creating lots of confusion. All the same, by Monday, we will see clearly the parties that will appear before the FHC. But I very much doubt if the CCT chairman will appear as a party before the FHC. It is just like asking the chairman of an electoral tribunal to appear before an high court to defend why he wants to hear an election case brought before him.
Yes na. The action of the high court is quite laughable.

Agbakoba is blinded about the constitution no wonder though, he is never a constitutional lawyer. Otherwise he would have red section 6(j) and (k) then said something else

Agbakoba is a constitutional lawyer,i would rather listen to him than you!! Even Saraki's lawyers posited the same argument.Dont forget he quoted a section of the constitution to back up his statement.
Anyone can quote a section of the constitution to suite their aims, doesn't make them correct just displayed the fact they are learned.

The fact remains the CCT is established by a special order within the constitution and thereby can not be objected to it's duties by an high court. The sort of judicial nonsense that is defended in this country is beyond ridiculous.

From a minister obtaining a baring from appearing before a legislative committee to politicians getting morally faulty high court orders.

This same SAN defending Saraki was at the NSA gathering the day before as a speaker talking from the other side of the mouth , a case of not practising what you preach

Hi MizMyColi,

You are right in your submission, and your thoughts are accurate.

Don't you think the fight against corruption could take any dimension ?

If providence decides to use the case of rebellion to start the war against corruption in Nigeria, who am I to challenge it.

My submission and stands remains: KILL CORRUPTION wherever and whenever.

In the midst of all this conflicting interpretations,i think the status quo should be maintained until the appeal or supreme courtss rule on the matter!!
Am afraid, the 2 actions will run concurrently. only that failure of saraki to defend himself properly at the CCT will result in his conviction. CCT will treat FHC as if it does not exist until Court of appeal rules to the contrary.

Section 5 deals with the creation of the Code of Conduct Tribunal;



Code of Conduct bureau is a creation of the constitution and so a superior court.
Apart from that, section 15 (2) clearly says: The Chairman shall be a person who has held or is qualified to hold office as a Judge of a COURT OF RECORD... so this makes it a superior court!

I would like any lawyer in the house to throw more light on the superior and inferior courts as described by Agbakoba!! If eventually Agbakoba is right,then the CCB and the CCT rather than Saraki would be in hot soup
You're a dumbskull like Agbakoba. If he can say the High Court can issue injunction stopping the CCT, then he would also say the High Court can issue an injunction preventing an election tribunal from trying an elected person.

You are still behind. A supreme Court case law of 1983 has been used to settle this. If I see it later I'll cite it for u.
Re: Saraki:CCT Does Not Have Equal Jurisdiction With the High court- Agbakoba by LightofEarendil: 8:50am On Sep 19, 2015
The truth is that Nigerians will never get justice as long as those who steals from us are united in their stealing and robbery.
The only hope we can look to is when cracks appear and they turn on themselves. If a man doesn't get justice because the offender and the one who should bring him to justice are good pals, it only makes sense to pray that whatever unites them will break down so he can get justice.
The important thing is that every wicked politician in Nigeria will be brought to justice. For those shouting Tinubu and others, their cups are not yet full. God has their numbers and when the time comes, they will face their own music. It may take years, but if lies continue for many years, truth will catch up with it one day.
The worst thing we can do is allow these guys use us to continue in their stealing and penanche for avoiding justice.

Eziachi:
Agbakoba is talking nonsense, any appeal emanating from the Code of conduct tribunal lies with Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
It is unheard of in law of any judicial obstruction of law enforcement investigation as done by this corrupt justice of the federal high court
The tribunal shall proceed with what they are doing and let Saraki proceed to the superior court of appeal.
Who are you? A nobody I guess. What do you know about law and process? Absolutely nothing! Shut up and suck ur mamas boobs little boy

Your stand is laudable and noble.
But given the powers involved in this, after Saraki is served, it would be business as usual. Please mark my words.

What is the use of executing a small thief only to install a bigger thief.

Still, I maintain that however this pans out, It is a WIN WIN for me.

Did the high court issue an injunction? It only asked all parties to appear on Monday to explain why his exparte motion shouldn't be heard. Why the rush?

The high court is a superior court on record. The CCT are just ruining their chances of nailing this guy. Don't forget the issue of an attorney General of the federation before any trial can be held by the CCT

The crux of the matter is false declaration of assets by Saraki but Agbakoba is here speaking legal grammar because Saraki has money to hire over 10 SANs to defend him.
Anyhow, its still early days, we are waiting and watching how this drama will play out..
One fact is that there won't be any hiding place soon in Nigeria for political thieves whether past or present.
and him buhari didn't do the same.....that took him months to arrange his false declaration of assets.....why is saraki the only politicians among all that declared the only prson d want 2 bring down....gullible sets of people

More reactions will come in the comming hours and days!! It was very wrong for the CCB to ignore the FHC's order!!! Saraki can as well chose to ignore the CCT's order and that would be the begining of anarchy
There was no order but a notice of motion for the order to be made. the court merely asked Dr Saraki to put other parties on notice.

Please spare me the sermon, Is it now they know SARAKI is corrupt?... When he was hobnobbing with them during the campaign and going with B00HARI on foreign trips; He was a saint. But now he has become the scape goat.
Sermon is for a purpose, just as medicine is for a purpose, no one can spare you from it. You can only spare yourself from it. As a healthy person doesn't need medication.
After sparing yourself, first thing Sunday morning you would be the first sitting front row of your church waiting for the same sermon with your bible in your hand calling on, on some unknown god.
Spare you!!
