I respect this man. If he's guilty of what he's been accused of, let justice prevail. And if not, let there be justice. But eh, party supremacy should have killed this. Issue na. Dogara is from same new PDP, but he towed the party line and he's been romancing with the party faithful ever since.

LegalAnalyst:
Saraki, yes you are right. You have the right to pursue and realise your ambition, but only within the confines of political fair play. But let me quickly point out to you that only a fool (Like Dino) will believe your narration that you never struck a deal with PDP.

On Running From Pillar To Post:

If truly your sojourn up to Supreme Court was in search of justice, Saraki how would you explain your many other obvious attempts to stall your trial after the Apex court has okayed your trial? Oh lest I forget, maybe justice in your own right only means when judgement is given in your favour.

CORRUPTION & WASTAGE: Buhari And Jonathan, At A Glance. FACT IS FACT.

1] Jonathan sold Petrol at N87 while Buhari is selling at average of N300 & above, yet Buhari supporters think Jonathan was more corrupt and wasteful.

2] When Jonathan Budgeted N1bn for feeding in Aso-Rock in 2011, and N517m in 2015, APC cried wolf and now Buhari's budget for same is N1.7billion. Yet Buharists are mute and still think GEJ was more corrupt and wasteful.

3] Jonathan spent N1.4bn to service all presidential jets in one year while Buhari spends N6bn on same in 6month yet Buharists
think GEJ was more corrupt and wasteful.

4] Jonathan gave more funding to education while Buhari's 2016
budget favours Ministry of information more than education
yet Buharists think GEJ was more corrupt/wasteful.

5] Jonathan spent an average of N8million on each international
trip while Buhari spends an average of N55million on each
international trip, yet Buharists think GEJ was more corrupt and
wasteful.

6] Jonathan created Over 5.8millon jobs in 5yrs while buhari has
sacked over 2million workers in 8months. Check Federal
Bureau of Statistics.

7] Jonathan made Nigeria's economy the best in Africa and No 1 investment destination & quadrupled our GDP in 4yrs while Buhari has dragged Nigeria's economy down to 14th position in ranking in just 7months.

8] Jonathan left Naira exchange rate @ N185 to $1 but Buhari with his Adama and Eve economics has destroyed the Naira in just 8 months which now sells at N315 to $1.

9] It took Jonathan less than 2weeks to select his cabinet including foreign based technocrats while it took Buhari 6months to do same. Even with indicted people and no single economist among the 36 names.

10] Buhari claimed that subsidy was fraud (Who is subsidizing who@) but buhari has spent N1.2trillion on fuel subsidy in the last 5 months and still no fuel while all Buharists have suddenly gone dumb.

11] Buhari/APC accused Jonathan of corruption but have not been able to pin one stain on him, while Muhammadu Buhari himself followed the crowd that entered into the #DasukiGate.

12] Under Jonathan freedom and liberty of Nigerians was not determined by party affiliation, but today under Buhari his perceived enemies and political opponents are leveled with frivolous allegations of crimes and intimidated with either the EFCC or the DSS.

13] Buhari does not have an Honorary WAEC but bags an
illegal Honorary (Ph.D) from a university that have no PhD student and Not approved by NUC and yet Buharists respect his NEPA Bill more than GEJ's PhD.

14. Buhari used his secondary school principal's recommendation letter to become Military Head of State and again used Court Affidavit to become President and no one reminded him that these are the height of corruption.
He Refused to declare his assets public, suppressing the FOI and denied all his 81 election promises and stayed in the last 8 months blaming former leaders. Jonathan was in that position, he never complained or blamed anyone, but faced his work even when Buhari's disgruntled brother ensured that Nigeria will know no peace. - Hope For Nigeria.

Report uncovers 26bn Naira fraud in defunct Nigerian agency
20 october 2002

Lagos- Nigeria (PANA) -- An Interim report of a probe into activities of the defunct Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), an agency set up by a former Nigerian military dictator to cushion the effects of a fuel price hike during his tenure, has uncovered about 26 billion Naira fraud in the agency (126 Naira=1USD).
The local press reported Sunday that the amount represented what contractors, banks and a consultant ripped off from the public treasury for unverifiable projects and services during the four- year existence of the fund from 1995 to 1999.
Of the sum involved in the fraud, the probe verified 11.
658 billion Naira as repayable to the government, while 14.
1 billion Naira was said to be potentially recoverable.
One paper reported that President Olusegun Obasanjo had ordered the immediate recovery of the stolen funds.
Another former military leader, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari, headed PTF, established by the late Sani Abacha.
President Obasanjo scrapped the body on assumption of office in 1999, and ordered a probe of its activities.

RaphaeloBurgess:
Very good write up. But the questions earnestly crying for answers are:1. I dont think it is right to bring Tinubu into this matter because he refused to influence this trial. 2. I dont think it is also right to bring the office of Senate President to shame by not stepping down since you are an accused for now 3. You have justified those powers that be in APC who feared that your Senate Presidency is a threat to President Buhari with the handling of 2016 Budget.

modath:
So long an Epistle from someone who snuck into the NASS complex in the trunk of a Mazda 626 in order to escape notice before perfecting his "coup"..

He would have been "forgiven" if he had "Dogara-ed" it & also isn't being recalcitrant about extravagant purchases & supervising a criminal level budget distortion all in a bid to discredit the Executives...

At every point, he talks about his loyalty to his party, someone that has been proven doesn't understand the true meaning of loyalty.... He sees himself as bigger than his party, let's see how that will work out for him..

He also has refused to understand that persecution is no defense, culpability does not take witch hunting into account & Saratiff knows that hence the incessant court perambulations.....

He won't survive beyond May-June 2016..

Were you there? So? Those are mere allegations to nail him because he was working under pdp before. Proof? Is Tinubu a saint, what about Amaechi? Fallacy of tu quoque
Make una leave Nigeria o. Meaning?

noblebaba:
Due to sentiment we fail to face reality, I'm not in support of corruption but is it only saraki that commited such crime why can't he be asked before now? There is no single politician that will be sincere by declaring their true asset,its only a fool that will not know that saraki is been witchhunt,why can't the efcc cleared the judge aganist 10million bribery before now?the blind can see this victimisation.shikena

ndcide:


Legal analyst with a weak analysis full of political sentiments.

Firstly the legislative house is not a political party. The traditional of a ruling party producing principal officers is not even constitutional.

We asked senator Bruce about the contest then, and he told us that all the contestants met with them for support and that Pdp was not bringing out any candidate. However, they unanimously agreed to support saraki, 24 hours to the inauguration.

He even told us that saraki would have still won had all the senators been present.

The APC leadership knew this. hence, the reason for a last minute meeting at the ICC that day. (very instructive)

On the DSP, it was a spontaneous thing. it was not planned. Besides 95% of the senators don't have problems with the candidacy of the present DSP.

IT will take an infinitely biased person and a poisonous one at that, to say the Justice of the CCT is not prejudiced in this case. In this situation anyone may do the same thing saraki is doing.

The probable reason for saraki's manipulations is to explore a political solution, as the whole thing is political. He may also need to gauge the sentiments of the justices at the various tribunals. It's simply strategy.

This is from a neutral point of view. I'm not a lawyer, but I have common sense.

THIS IS THE PART WE NEED YOU TO ANALYZE:-

For example, Section 3(d) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act states that the Bureau shall refer any breach or non-compliance to the Tribunal. However, where the person concerned makes a written admission of the breach, no reference to the Tribunal shall be necessary. It was on this basis that the case against Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was dismissed in 2011, by this same judge in this same Tribunal on the grounds that he was not given an opportunity to deny or admit to any breach before he was brought before the tribunal. This was the ruling that I relied on in making my case. But what did the judge say? That he had judged in error in 2011 and he had since realized his error and departed from it. My question is whether a Tribunal of first instance has the power to reverse itself. I should expect that everyone would be worried if justice is applied differently to different people.

Asap!

seunmsg:
Saraki should simply go and defend himself before the tribunal. All these stories sound sweet but unfortunately it's being told to the wrong audience. He should tell his side of the story to Justice Umar of the CCT.


And all this attempt at dragging Tinubu into his corrupt case is just plain silly. Can't he defend himself without throwing Tinubu's name around? Tinubu was once charged and tried by the same tribunal, how come he's now the same person being alleged to be behind Saraki's travails? If Tinubu is that powerful over the CCT, why did he not stop his own trial?

Political witch-hunt or not, the major question is, is Saraki guilty of the allegations levelled against him? That is the question Kwarans and Nigerians want the CCT to answer and Saraki will do well by co-operating with the tribunal for a quick answer to the question.

How did it bring Tinubu into the matter? Why should the CCT give differant judgements for the same scenario in both cases? Anyway I trust the apex court to take care of this nonsense
