While the police can enforce the bench warrant of Justice Danladi to arrest the Senate President,
I doubt the police will do anything about a mere Senate committee.
That why it's good to pick ur fight wisely.

rusher14:
It is funny that the senate standing rules state that matters before the law courts should not be deliberated upon or discussed on the floor of the senate or any of the committees.

This issue of inviting CCT chairman is simply to buy time and cause distraction as well as disaffection in the eyes of the public.

For Bukola Saraki, the senate has already accepted his defeat hence the rush to adjust the constitution to indemnify all others that have pilloried their respective states.

chukwudi44:
The "crap" was gotten from Nigeria's constitution.Once the senate concludes their investigation and indicts him,he is a goner

chukwudi44:
continue to dream,it is allowed

chukwudi44:
You people will soon understand how powerful the senate is!!! Una never see anything yet!! just sit and watch the drama. The senate president is far more powerful than that inconsequential Danladi Umar!!!

blackpanda:
Rationality my man. Stop being ruled by bias. The senate has no power to remove danladi, not without the recommendation of NJC. You cant forget subjudice, thats like saying we shld forget our constitution.

Sir the law is what it is, not what u hope or would like it to be. Senate's request is meaningless and pointless!

[color=#1980BC]shut up Falana!!.We don't see how the Senate cannot do all within its powers to protect itself from rogue political godfathers and dumb yet stupidt dictators from Daura...[/color]

chukwudi44:
APC lawyer, who still takes him seriously

maestroferddi:
You are still not getting it, are you?

In all probability, Justice Umar does have the moral and legal justification to be presiding over the CCT given the matters pending against him.

If the Senate chooses to magniify his issues/sins before the world such that the CJN would have no alternative but to remove him from the tribunal, that should be entirely their prerogative.

You deploy your forces and I deploy mine and we see what gives...

The way u think is laughable and can only work in a banana republic devoid of laws. So many ifs and buts. Its like u just dont want to deal with reality. Mr man, senate cannot remove Danladi, neither can they force CJN to do the same. Go read your constitution to see how hard it is to remove a judge. It has nothing to do with "deploy forces". You are not watching a chuck norris movie. Lol

Wake up already!

Deen77:
Do you understand separation of power in democracy, Executive, Judiciary and Legislator.

Chukwudi, you see yourself. When people are doing right turn you're doing left turn. But no matter how many times you miss turn, the zombies must lose.

Falana should go to hell ... Injustice umar must appear at Nass tomorrow to answer the petition on him

hardywaltz:
Danladi should just ignore that committee...

The CCT has adjourned severally to allow Saraki run from pillar to post
So the Senate committee can also adjourn till Danladi is free.

maestroferddi:
Justice Danladi must go and clear himself. Period.

chukwudi44:
Injustice Danladi Umar must show up tomorrow or the senate would order his arrest.Furthermore should he ignore the senate's summon,Saraki will also not honour his court

989900:
Read the comment, checked the name -- voila -- it was a match!

chukwudi44:
the CCT chairman must appear before the senate or risk arrest.He must appear to clear his name.Saraki will also ignore his court should he chose to ignore the senate's summons

maestroferddi:
How old are you?

We have precedents of the National Assembly inviting public functionaries to appear before it to answer questions and make clarifications.

Justice Umar is certainly not above the law and therefore should honour the Senate summons if he has no skeletons in the cupboard.

Infact Justice Umar should have been barred from presiding over the CCT pending the determination of the substantive suit preferred against him.


Nigeria belongs to all us. If APC/Buhari can trump up some extraneous provisions/laws to try to teleguide the Senate, it will then be delusional to expect that the Senate will not look for a loophole to get even or stem their excesses.

Falana should go on deceiving himself with some self-serving legal interpretations. One would have expected him to be cognisant of the fact that he holds no monopoly of knowledge.

maestroferddi:
What am I doing having an interchange with a fellow who cannot understand the most basic of the use of figures of speech?

Even a half-wit should know that a CCT chairman who is nowhere in the juridical hierarchy is answerable to several superiors in government.

I told you before that you have no clue when it comes to dynamics of power play.

Laws were made by people and it is still people that exploit nuances in the law to achieve a set objective.

It will amount to tomfoolery for anyone to assume that the Senate do not have their plan of how to preserve their independence.

blackpanda:
Now I know its just ego that has made u to abandon all rationality. First of all, the CCT is equivalent to the High Court, so the CCT chairman is NOT "nowhere in the juridical hierarchy"
Secondly, your hoping senate will "exploit nuances in the law to achieve a set objective" is just plain dumb! Senate does not implement the law, that is the job of the executive. After all their so called investigation, they must still submit it to the executive to prosecute. And guess who is the head of the executive...??

Finally I really think u shld be ashamed of your ridiculous post. The CCT chairman is trying saraki, not the senate. Saraki is not the senate. You guys that worship individuals at the expense of the country are the main problem we have. You are like a cancer eating deep into the fabric of society. Rather than join the fight against corruption, you are here making noise about how senate will twist the law to pervert justice. Pls bury your head in shame! Rubbish
