Nigeria knew there was a president called Jonathan G.Ebele.with a very caring and sharing attitude

Its not a Counsel's case. As a Counsel, I can rightly advice but the decision is client's to make. Some of those evidences you are referring to will not stand in court. Go and write that down. By the time those EFCC witnesses are overwhelmed in cross examination, trust me they will fall apart like a pack of card.

zoedew:
Evidence consisting of proven call logs, sms and ctc documents will necessitate a Counsel who is not dishonourable negotiating a settlement on Fayose’s behalf! I believe God for this country to make progress.

Raydans:
Though fayose is definitely bouncing out strong.

But what goes around will still come around.

I pity all these testifiers. They have been subdued by GCCFR I.e the power that exist for now

PDP definitely is claiming the federal next year don't let us deceive ourselves.

If fayose is nailed. What about all those, past and current persons that these tyrannical government have shielded by proxy, actively and Inactively

EFCC is a tool for any existing government. #Fact

He who feeds the piper controls the tune #Fact

I wish Mr fayose good luck for His loudest voice against the opposition at this tyrannical times!

Brother can I kiss you?

just run enta APC my friend.... ur P is solve.. when a criminal become APC member.. He automatically became a saint

A Yoruba proverb says the pounded yam prepared 20 years ago will still burn the eater as though it is freshly made. I think this Fayose issue is going to be messier than anyone can handle and must be treaded with caution.
Since the days of Jesus Christ, corruption has been entrenched into the fabric of the age, exemplified by the tax collectors and the Pharisees. This one man heads-on-collision Rambo style is just a toothpick fight. When anyone stares into the abyss, the abyss stares back at such individual.

OBANIKORO please say all what you know abeg.

It takes 2 to tangle.... If Obanikoro admits he facilitated the loot,then he will be guilty as Fayose. In all the above allegations it is obvious that we had middle men in the alleged transactions and they will provide evidences and what the monies meant for most especially Obanikoro and Sambo Dasuki. If they failed to give details,Fayose's case will be thrown out for lack merit. If they testify and open up that it was a shared loot then the culprit and the accomplice in the loot are good for jailed not Fayose alone. We say NO TO SELECTIVE JUSTICE.

Just because Fayose was outspoken during immunity period of his regime. There is God o.

Let’s see how it goes! With the nexus on display!! Barring Counsel mishandling the matter and corruption Fayose is headed for the rabbit hole!! See Ibori convicted in Br on the same set of facts he was let go in Ng. God and the Nations of the earth are watching how it goes! The annoying part is how remorseless Fayose has been through the years!! Ain’t these guys afraid of facing God someday after their time on earth is over and they die? Ha!!

Fayose the rock is going down....my problem with efcc is why releasing evidence in an ongoing case......why not take him to court and present the evidence in court....not all these media thrash....

How I wish they find fayose guilty and jail his stupid arse....so his stupid chest beater supporters can go and visit him in jail....and it will put all those useless politicians on their toes.....

Any person(s) these people support always end up bleeped.....look all their antecedents...bad luck is in their system....

Just watch how these will dissolve one after the other by Fayose's lawyer.

JAILED!

Yorubas the biggest tribalist, thank God pdp didn't pick vp from there.

Miahs:
If they have all there charges ready, why make it public, this people and their media trial. His lawyer will have ample time to puncture all this charges. Just saying

Oh my God!! The way you people are always always reluctant to seek knowledge and wallow in ignorance will always be a mystery unsolved, to all those people shouting media trial, were you expecting EFCC to charge him to court in secret(You guys will still be the first to wail and call Buhari a dictator and tyrant)

A defendant typically learns what the formal charges will be before first court appearance to give the defendant and his legal team ample time to prepare their defense, this is how its done all over the world, that's the beauty of Democracy and the Judicial system, moreso, its a public criminal suit; FG vs Fayose, hence the same public has to be kept informed and abreast of all unfoldings and proceedings.

agbangam:
Jonathan aaaaaaaa, see how they shared our money, my father my father and PDP with Ndigbo want another share d money to become Nigerian President , Naaaah God will never allow Atiku to near Aso Rock again.

And u can't nail a corruption case to him... Are u not ashamed of buhari govt that Jonathan has no case against him in court or he hasn't been jailed till now?

Update yourself.
Obanikoro has been dragged to court since 2016.
He entered a plea bargain with EFCC and has since been returning the money... I'm sure him becoming a prosecution witness was also part of the deal made with him.

******

Fayose's best bet is to accept the charges, and enter a plea bargain to return a large part of the money.

Or he should be ready to face whatever comes and hope buhari loses in 2019.

Rebelutionary:
Hmmm.... Seems EFCC have built a solid case against Fayose with the array of witnesses they have! They will sort themselves in court

Obanikoro to testify against his partner and you think that what sets Obanikoro free won't set Fayose free?


This case is dead on arrival.

Eeyah fayose, kuje or kirikiri maximum prison loading, fayose has bitten more than he can chew

Sholaco:
ur mumu suppose don do ......

E pain you

NEVER trust a Yoruba man. They are as slippery as a cunt.

sholatech:
Of course, that was the soft landing they gave Obanikoro since. Come to Apc, return part of the monies & testify against Pdp especially Fayose.

It is called plea bargain and is legal in the Judicial system. Fayose should give up the properties to the Federal Government & move on with his political career or what is left of it.

Pavarottii:
Yorubas the biggest tribalist, thank God pdp didn't pick vp from there.

Yorubas are not responsible for your misery

jumpandpas:

Obanikoro accepted guilt and agreed to a plea bargain with the Federal Government,fayose should know it is not every battle you win. Fayose forfeit the properties and go in peace,greedy animal.

Pavarottii:
And u can't nail a corruption case to him... Are u not ashamed of buhari govt that Jonathan has no case against him in court or he hasn't been jailed till now?

Get your facts right, since you were born name one ex President of Nigeria that has been taken before a Court of law for corruption,are you not aware that their is a silent code of immunity for life for anyone that held the President of Nigeria?.

effc why? Some people for this una witness list don die nah

PLEASE, EFCC SAVE YOUR EVIDENCE AND WITTNESS, LET FAYOSA HAVE HIS DAY IN THE COURT

all the fools supporting fayose have seen how fayose has fooled them...by cajoling them in attacking buhari everyday

to cover up...all these gangantuan corrupt atrocity....because he knows that nodu nodu...yawa go buz...thiefs.....kirikiri beckons!

Mr. Ayodele Fayose who was then the candidate of PDP in Ekiti State called and asked if the NSA (Col. Sambo Dasuki RTD) has reached him (Obanikoro) with any information or message. Senator Obanikoro answered in the negative but promised to call the NSA and revert back to him. He spoke to the then NSA who informed him that he had a message which will be transmitted through him to Ayodele Fayose and further requested for an account in which the said message will be transferred or delivered for onward transfer or delivery to Ayodele Fayose. Senator Obanikoro then called Fayose and confirmed to him that a message will be delivered to him any moment from that time as confirmed by the NSA. He sourced for an account Slyvan Mcnamara Limited and forwarded same to the NSA, Sambo Ibrahim Dasuki. On 5th June, the first transaction of N200 million entered into the account and on 16th June, 2014, the sum of N2 Billion was transferred into the account, making it a total sum of N2.2 Billion paid into Mcnamara with Diamond Bank domiciled in Lagos.

He handed over the money to Mr. Biodun Agbele and instructed his ADC (Lt. Commander Adewale) to escort him (Agbele) to the bank since he indicated that he wanted to take the money to the bank.

In the whole of this narrative, what I can deduce is that,yes money was transfer from the NSA to fayose,but first n for most it has to be proven that Dasuki gave this money to fayose without authorization,the APC has continuously accused Dasuki of sharing money at will but have failed woefully to proof that he did so without authority,the idea of security funds in the custody of the NSA been used at the discretion of the government without accountability even though questionable did not start with PDP n there is no existing law requiring such accountability, so fayose will argue that the money was approved for a particular purpose, the NSA will tell you he was authorised to release funds n back it up with evidence n the drama will just continue,nobody should jump to castigate PDP as even in this government of fake saints all sort of illegal monies are been raise for special purposes through clandestine means like the very blurred n fraudulent so call petroleum under recovery funds of the NNPC,this government is still holding Dasuki because they have not been able to lay hands on the evidences kept by dasuki which will make it impossible to convict the man in an open trial hence the continuous intimidation to force confession, acceptance n out of court settlement deals, but we just have to wait n see how this case will pan out,we should not jubilate too early because if fayose stand his ground lot of interests will be on the line.

Obanikoro will testify abi co-accused? This govt just weak me
