5 judges ruled unanimously ie the 5 of them agreed that Buhari should stop using our money to pay lawyers. Mary Odili was only asked to read out the decision, why attack her?

I.don't understand
Why are some people attacking odili?

Is her statement not right or correct? Is it not patriotic?
Should buhari be defending himself with public funds?

I hate APC with a passion, but there are times when I kept shut.

That is what makes me a patriot and makes buhari supporters a bunch of low lives.

Supreme Court has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari for using public funds to defend himself in personal litigations.

The apex court criticised Buhari for using lawyers paid by government during his election tribunal hearings.

The Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate during the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, are challenging Buhari’s victory at the election tribunal.

Also, Kalu Kalu, Labaran Ismail and Hassy El-Kuris, are challenging the candidacy of President Buhari as the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress during that exercise.

The appellants claimed that President Buhari lied on oath in the form CF001 he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Abdullahi Abubakar, a senior lawyer at the Ministry of Justice, has been appearing for Buhari at the tribunal.

Justice Mary Odili, while reading the unanimous ruling of the five-man panel of the Supreme Court, questioned Abubakar’s appearance for Buhari, who was sued as a private citizen and not in his capacity as President.

The judge said when Bill Clinton, a former President of the United States, was sued, HE USED his PERSONAL funds to defend himself in court.

Odili described the situation as a CONTRAVENTION of the provisions of the Code of Conduct for public officers.

The court said, “The representation of Mr Buhari by the Senior State Counsel of the Ministry of Justice in his personal capacity and not as Nigerian President, is inappropriate.”

It was not for this very case that Bulkachuwa was asked to recuse herself. That was for the presidential election tribunal matter which the tribunal has not even given a judgment for! This issue is a pre-election matter on whether Buhari is qualified to stand for election. It is a personal matter for which a government employee ought not to have represented him. Are you not aware that civil servants ought to be non-partisan? His legal representation should have been a private one paid for from his personal funds and not public funds, this matter is not against the state but against Buhari in his personal capacity as a citizen and not as president. Besides, if anyone wanted Justice Mary disqualified, such person ought to make a petition to that effect just as PDP did against Bulkachuwa!

Peacecoy19:
Atiku and PDP made appeal coart president Justice Bulkachuwa to disqualify herself in this very case at appeal level because they said her husband is Apc member.It is not that you have short memory, you conveniently chose to forget.

ChiefkeefGB4:
Frontpage Lalastiscala!Watch they will now come for Justice Mary Odili. She is no saint because she is married to Peter Odili former River State Governor who got a perpetual injunction from investigation by EFCC.



How can someone get a perpetual injection from investigation and prosecution? Is he above the law? Obviously there is some corruption in that judgement and it needs to be revisited and the judge should be probed. Odili should face the music. This is era of justice, not pdp years. May God never take us back to pdp years.
And on Buhari, i think this is an oversight on his part and he should correct it immediately. Justice Odili and the rest corrupt judges must know the war on corruption is total. She should watch her back.

To be honest, she veered off her brief in that judgement because nobody brought a case of impropriety against Buhari using government lawyers in this case before her. And if she is going to make general statements, she has to have condemned all past presidents and governors, all politicians to be exact, who used or are using, or will be using goverment property or funds to prosecute personal legal cases. I am sure her husband is also culpable in that. And by association she would also have benefitted from that.

They are both using state funds, current state funds for Buhari and looted and saved state funds from Atiku.

Agreed,but should Buhari return public fund use to defend himself in court or not.

Yes he should return the money and apologize. And we should also ask OBJ , Umaru Yar Adua and GEJ to return the same. They started it when they were taken to election tribunals

freeze001:


And who declared or revealed to you that Atiku is using public funds? What judicial indictment or court judgment do you have against him as proof to support this stupid allegation against him? Buhari sits in office now as president, a serving staff of the FG has been appearing on his behalf for a private matter and not government business yet your dirty bias and partisan slavishness will not let you even be honest for once. Instead you rather justify Buhari's crime with the cooked up lies you APC midgets like to peddle. It is a a shame really.

Stop foaming in the mouth and pretending to be righteous. Buhari is indeed wrong if it’s true that he is using government resources to defend his private case in court. He should refund the money and apologize to us Nigerians.

But you must stop behaving as if Atiku the multimillionaire former customs officer and former Vice President is an angel. OBJ and Atiku his VP were the ones who started using public funds to depend their election at the tribunal. Yar Adua and Jonathan did the same. Atiku cannot be sold to us as a clean corruption free person, we know him.
