This is not the way to go about a previous govts policy

Daviddson:
Kai...Jonathan really did many silly things to please people. Obasanjo did same too sha. Why should houses for SP, Speakers, CJN be sold in the first place? What if a president decides to sell the presidential villa to himself one day before leaving office?

enyice:
I remember BAT acquiring some properties belonging to LASG without any competitive biddings...

I didn't hear a sound from anyone...

maasoap:

Really? Is it true that everyone has a price? I guess I just discovered that you have a price too. This is about fraudulently acquiring government properties, not about the previous administration's policy. David Mark has gone to court, I guess they too will do the same. So, no need to be sympathetic to fraudsters in the name of politics.

Wiseandtrue:

Enact a law that would prevent a re-occurrence!

That is how to tackle a problem not all these noise and propaganda

The masses are not feeling all these monies you guys are recovering!

Your case is just like a thief accusing a thief!

I know that Ekweremadu is who you guys are after since he exposed your inhuman degrading treatment melted to INNOSON

Or are you telling me that it is only these 5 people that bought the property

This should be replicated in Lagos. Ambode should reverse the purchase of Governor's lodge by Tinubu

The Special Presidential Investigation Panel, for Recovery of Public Property has given the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, a former Speaker of the House of Reps, Dimeji Bankole, and former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Aloysius Katsina-Alu, 21 days to vacate their residences.

The Chief Okoi Obono-Obla-led panel issued the quit notice on Thursday to the three politicians, as well as former Deputy Speaker and current Senator Usman Bayero Nafada.

A former Senate President, David Mark, received similar quit notice from the Panel back in September to which he had since filed a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja to quash all the steps taken to evict him and recover the house from him by the panel.

The panel said the five of them illegally acquired their then-official residences as their private properties.

According to DailyTrust, the immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan had in November 2010 reportedly gave leave to the Senate President, the Deputy Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, to “purchase” their official quarters.

A source told Daily Trust, “The Senate President’s residence was sold to David Mark for N748 million; Speaker, House of Representatives’ residence was sold to Hon Dimeji Bankole for N670 million; while Deputy Senate President residence was sold to Senator Ike Ekweremadu for N458 million.

“Deputy Speaker House of Representatives residence was sold to Senator Nafada for N348.5 million; and they were all sold without competitive bidding contrary to the provisions of the Public Procurement Act especially Section 15 thereof”, one of the sources said, adding that the residence of Juctice Katsina-Alu was sold to him at N45million.

The newspaper also reports that former President Jonathan had directed that the sale of the property should be gazetted in the Federal Government Gazette in his minute in a memo sent to him by the then minister of the FCT Senator Bala Muhammad dated 18 November 2010, but that was not done.

The source added, “A gazette is a notice to the whole world of the position of government on any issue and since there was a prevailing gazette that the house bought by the plaintiff (referring to David Mark) should not be sold under Government monetization policy, the gazette would have superseded the previous one.

“So the previous gazette prevails since the sale was not gazetted. That alone has vitiated the sale. Secondly the sale is against the public procurement Act which provides any contract for a good and service must be through competitive bidding. The sale was not through competitive bidding.”

According to the news outlet added that the houses, which were not ordinary houses but institutional houses to principal officers of the National Assembly and the Executive had no right in the first place to given order for the houses to be sold

GEJ should have eschewed corrupt practices.

obailala:
I doubt those properties can ever be recovered. A law should simply be passed to prevent such anomalies from re-occuring in future.

That man from Cross river okono obla will Bite his Fingers Very Soon.

I don't pity Any of them Politicians dey don't Regard us Citizen's

peacettw:
I really do wish that Jonathan was behind bars right now. The man irks me.

I understand fully well that buhari is worth nothing and is totally incompetent but Jonathan.... Jonathan disappointed me the most. He seemingly had it all, was educated, came from a humble background and a sister tribe, had practically most of our people around him and yet his government was the most corrupt. A man who could brazenly tell us all that stealing is not corruption deserves to be in jail with the key thrown away.

If voting in buhari for a second tenure can make this a sweet reality, I will go for it. That is how much I detest the man called Jonathan and his ilk. Of course, the next president after buhari can feel free to lock him up for his misdeeds and so on and so forth.
