People who know nothing about law speak with so much confidence. The mere fact that you think the judiciary has the power to remove an elected official by bypassing the legislative branch based on acts outside of Nigeria is beyond comprehension. Anyways lawyers and judge must chop.....Carry on

It's funny the same people that called atiku thief want a fraudster to be speaker. So this man is a yahoo Yahoo

His overambitious and desperate attitude for highest position in the chamber has found him out, his case with Georgia court in USA was not mentioned until his current aspiration for speakership this shows that truth can never be submerged.

This case came up in 2015 when he wanted to be speaker then

They couldn't stop him then I doubt they will now

Good!
It remains the froged eyes budillion looter. The drug baron should be sentenced to life jail for his illegal activities too.
Thanks.

Well sorry to say this if that Gbaja is the person buhari wants for that job nothing anyone can do the highest is to ask SW to give him someone else and you all will be shock Tinubu wife might ends up taking the seat.

More so if other region SS or SE are dreaming of Senate president or house of Rep speaker its going to be a big joke. The line has be drawn far way back only miracle can change it.

Sorry I'm not Gbaja nor apc and will never be. I'm just being truthful on what will ends up plays out in this scenario.

I pity yoruba people. We should be cracking the flat headed pigs from the East and turni then to perpetual slaves in our land. Lagos island was a FCT for only 28 years, so we should be sending ojukwu people back to their rotten land!

Hahaha... Bode George, Femi Gbajabiamila and Kashanu, good leaders.

Submitted that Gbajabiamila was not a fit and proper person to be elected as a federal lawmaker or speaker having been allegedly convicted of a $25,000 fraud by the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia, USA.


Justice Inyang Ekwo, of the Federal High Court, has ordered that Femi Gbajabiamila, a federal lawmaker, be served through substituted means the proceedings of the suit seeking to remove him from the House of Representatives over his alleged conviction in the US for fraud-related offences.

Justice Ekwo said that since the court was unable to serve the processes on Gbajabiamila in person, the lawyer to the plaintiff, Olasupo Azeez, should do so by substituted means.

“Cases of this nature are of public interest, and it’s either you are ready or not,” the judge said.

As a result, Ekwo adjourned the matter until Friday, June 7, for further mention.

The originating summons filed by Philip Undie through an originating summons by his lawyer, Barr. Ayodele Justice, submitted that Gbajabiamila was not a fit and proper person to be elected as a federal lawmaker or speaker having been allegedly convicted of a $25,000 fraud by the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia, USA.

Undie is contending that under Section 66(1) (C) and (D) of the 1999 Constitution and the verdict of the Supreme Court of Georgia, “The mood of our nation today will not warrant placing the position of the speaker of the House of Representatives in the hands of any individual that has a tainted or questionable character.”

In the affidavit attached to the suit, Undie averred that Gbajabiamila, who was then known as Femi Gbaja, accepted payment of $25,000 client’s money as personal injury claims and deposited those funds in his attorney trust account in January, 2003, which he failed to disburse to the client.

He further stated that Gbajabiamila violated Rule 1-15(1) of Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct in Bar Rule 4-102(d), which is punishable with disbarment and was suspended from law practice in the USA for 36 months (three years) even though he refunded the client’s money in 2006 and “his lawyers filed a certification of compliance of the Supreme Court ruling as of March, 2007.”

Meanwhile, a member of the House of Representatives, Raphael Nnanna, has brought an application to be joined in the suit seeking to stop Gbajabiamila.

Justice Ekwo directed the counsel to Nnanna, C. Onyemachi, to serve the application for joinder on the parties in court.

Minus executive Immunity the judiciary not only have the power to remove any elected official but the sentence them to jail. Seems like you don't know anything about the law.

In a real term, the judiciary can sack even anybody including the president even if they are elected by the gods.

Pull Him Down (PHD) Syndrome. The report says he returned the cash in 2006, that should count for something.

NigeriaIsDoomed:
I swear! Nigerians idolize and dignify criminals. It is interesting to see the same folk who were tagging Atiku thief support this convicted criminal to become the speaker.
Like you rightly put, no be zoo again?

Nigeria is a very weird and peculiar country I tell you. In saner climes this chap would lie low under the radar for years to avoid this kind of situation but here once a criminal makes cash, he heads into politics to claim legit. Recall a retd AIG who became Senator once said he was surprised to find several people whom he once investigated whilst in the Police as his new colleagues in the Senate?

Nobody holy pass
