There is no virtue in impatience, order is more important than speed, I know support for Saraki equals anti Buhari stance in your books and i won't fault you for your bias, we are all emotional beings..... We expect that somethings are to slow when it's what we desire and rejoice when it's not happening cos we hope it doesn't work out for the other party. .... We will revisit this very SOON...

However in your free time, read up about Dilma Rouseff's ordeal, the forces militating against her timeline , present state of affairs & you'd understand the many ways there are to skin a cat......... smiley

This is not about being anti-Buhari. Any objective observer would see that there is a tinge of persecution in the trial of the Senate President....Those who seek to hang Saraki by the neck have as much baggage as he does. So why the sanctimonious posturing?
There is no similitude between what is happening to Rouseeff and what is happening to Saraki. Besides, each nation has its own political peculiarities. Politics is all about intrest and the earlier you understand that Saraki has built enough bridges to take care of his interest the better you will understand how difficult it is to unseat him.
True, there are many ways to skin a cat, but Saraki is a cat with nine lives!

This is part of the reason the national assembly needs to amend the constitution to separate the office of the Attorney-general of the federation from that of the minister of justice. The office of the Attorney-general of the federation and those of states should be independent of the executive arm of government as obtains in a true presidential system of government. If we had that in nigeria, we would not have to put up with this trash from the APC appointed mouthpiece.

The AGF cannot declare the election conducted in the Nigerian senate null and void. If he wants to do so, he must approach a competent court of jurisdiction, and if no member of the senate is interested in pursuing the case, then he is wasting his time. What Saraki must do now is too woo all the senators to his side simply by taking some committees from his friends and giving it to his enemies in order to appease them. Then he will tighten his grip on the neck of the executives. He must start attacking and stop defending. Had he bargained his CCT case for the budget, by now nobody will invite him to court again. Politics everywhere is dirty.

Perhaps you should read the story and not stop at the headlines. The AGF instruction is to the DPP ( a member of the executive) who initiates criminal action on behalf of the state. The senate cannot stop a criminal prosecution by the DPP. They will meet in court. The job of the AGF is to establish if there is a case against an accused person. If there is, he gives permission to the DPP to initiate proceedings in the name of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

As such, the content of your comment is unnecessary as it lacks factual content

Bubu will see this task to conclusion, no turning back now.

Actually, Nigeria earned #FantasticallyCorrupt badge because her President, Muhammadu Buhari forged Cambridge WASC Statement of Result and refused validation of the said fraud from the source pleading for authorization to publish the true results.

The AGF should resign immediatelly since it is an illegal body that cleared him. These guys are just not thinking. How can you say the body that made you a minister is illegal and you are still in office? These guys should think right.

Where is it stated in the consittution that only a member of the senate has the standing to bring a case against the senate?

Also, what about public interest? It does not make any sense to be told that a citizen of this country cannot institute a case against the Senate. Therefore there is no reason the state cannot act on behalf of the public and its interest to charge these people to court. A crime has been committed. This type of crime isn't a personal one, it is a crime that affects all Nigerians. Our interest must be protected at all cost.

Na wah But is it speaker and Deputy that screen or the entire house of assembly? I thought the house does that and regardless you vote to accept or reject. If that is the case then there role in it is actually more of moderators or spoke persons for the house as they decide.

A bunch of ignoramuses. They don't even know the meaning of Attorney General and chief Justice of Federation. To them, the AGF can not query the legality or otherwise of a process in a government functionary or arm. Oh! what a noxious ignorance, fueled by blinded partisanism and tribalism.

The AGF or Mailami whatever he calls himself doesn't no what to do again. Saying SP and DSP elections are null and void it then means all the ministers they screened and confirm is illegal too including the padded 2016Budget they just passed into law. Confused government

...i feel dissapointed in some people 's reaction especially as a youth.
when you were saying if the election that produced Saraki and other excos is null and void then all functions they have carried out like screening of ministers and passage of budget should also be null and void as well ,sorry for you guys cos your bias mind is not telling you that when a governor is nullified all the duties he has performed in that capacity as a governor still stand !

Let's say no to corruption in all ramifications and in all form.
Re: AGF Declares Senate Election Null And Void, Saraki, Ekweremadu In Fresh Trouble by Surfboard(m): 9:37am On May 13, 2016
The AGF has no power to declare the National Assembly election null and void. If they feel they have evidence, then they should take it before the courts.

Anyone wondered why Dogara isn't having this forgery problem? Afterall, his sins are so similar to Saraki's.

Malami's involvement in the kogi debacle is evident dat he's leading the government on the path of destruction

The oloribruku AGF does not have any powers to declare any election null or void so his opinion is immaterial.BTW I still doubt the veracity of this news

you are very right my bro, the problem with some of our politicians is that they dont know when to let issues go and move on they want everything, do you know the danger this will cause for the nation, why must we always come out to wash our dirty clothes in the public, that is why David Cameron said this country called Nigeria is fantastically corrupt, you will not tell me in UK and US there is no corruption or Govt. officials dont get involved in corrupt practices, they know how to handle theirs so that it does not impact on them negatively.

If Malami is saying the election that produced the SP and DSP is null and void based on fake documents it therefore means that all decisions and that has been made by both men will not stand which includes the budget and all the standing committees in the senate. and this will make us a laughing stock in the committee of Nations.

APC led Govt should learn to let go sometimes and put things straight in other not to cause this nation a great embarrassment, you cannot fight and win all the time, it must not go your way all the time, we all know that Sarakis trials at the CIB in political motivated and it will come back to hunt each and everyone involved and the nation in general.
