Falana was quoted to have said, “It is unfathomable that the Supreme Court decided to return the country to the status quo ante in a rather brazen and bizzare manner”

1 where was Falana when Buhari did not attach his certificate to authenticate his form 001 as spelt out in the constitution yet unconstitutionally contested for president Gani Fawehinmi will will never shy to say the truth
2 where is femi Falana when The Taraba Election wsa wrongly Nulified? Nothing was Wrong with the tribunal Abi! Falana is a disgrace to our yoruba course

According to Oluyede, “the orchestrated tirade against the Supreme Court of Nigeria in respect of daring to do the unthinkable by scuttling the politically motivated stampede to remove Bukola Saraki from his position as Senate President through a wholly unconstitutional trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal is understandable.

“Both eminent lawyers are intolerably wrong and thus give the impression that their per incuriam opinions could only have been motivated by prejudice and not by their well known life long struggle for the public good.”

While noting that those raising the issue against the ruling of the apex court in respect of an issue which is still sub-judice, smacks criminal contempt, he added that it is erroneous for anyone to state that it is illegal to grant a stay of proceedings in criminal proceedings.

“If the Supreme Court perceives that the criminal proceedings against Senator Saraki might have been improperly instigated for any reason it is obliged to join in the fight against corruption by stopping it completely and to this end may properly stay proceedings until it is satisfied that its perception is wrong.”

Lauding the fight against corruption in the country, Oluyede, however, noted that the idea to limit the power of the courts to grant stay of proceedings in criminal trials is not the appropriate way to root out the corruption in the judiciary, adding that the method must not be at the expense of the integrity of the institutions of democracy.

“Care must be taken by the Buhari Government and his and his advisers not to end up reducing the judiciary to irrelevance under the cover of this "war against corruption" https://www.nairaland.com/2744915/supreme-court-ruling-saraki-appropriate

There can never be another Gani Fawhemi. What we have here are a partisan human right activists.

I wrote on this yesterday. The foolish Ekiti dwarf has allowed Tinubu to turn him into a hired gramophone. He now turns on and off at the request of his boss. Whether he likes it or not, the Senate will ruin their parade and expose their shady participation in the TSA 25 billion naira scam.

Though not lettered in law, the stay of action granted by the S. Court does not in anyway stop the CCT to continue the trial if in the wisdom of the apex court, Saraki has a case to answer.

Falana's activism had been beclouded by personal ego, pride and partisanship. Hence, to continue as counsel to FG, he must be by her side even when His client is wrong (though this is actually the job of a lawyer - lying to get money).
