Change!

Disappointment

I will like to see

Buhari  - President
Bakare - VP

Soludo - Economic Adviser
El-rufai - Power
Ribadu - IGP
Falana - AG
Okonjo - CBN Gov
Pat Utomi - Education Minister
Dora Akunyili - Health Minister (even tho shes power hungry)
Amaechi - Works Minister
Remi Babalola - Finance

With the above team, we can rescue our education sector, eliminate corruption, improve our health sector, see development in terms of construction, witness economic growth, and most especially have power once again

Lol even if they were winning before, with INEC's inability to conduct a timely election PDP will be voted out massively

GEJ knows its time to begin packing from aso rock

If you feel GEJ has done well, then we wish your house is run the way GEJ has ran Nigeria.

They have all decided to wake up when they know PDP days are numbered

The Senate today passed the Freedom of Information Bill. The House of Representatives had passed the Bill on February 24.

It has taken the current session of the National Assembly a total of four years to pass the Bill, which has been renamed the Right of Information Bill 2011. It was reintroduced in the National Assembly in 2007, shortly after the current session of lawmakers was constituted.

The Bill was sponsored by Abike Dabiri (ACN, Lagos), a former journalist.

The Bill will make it easier for Nigerians to have access to information on government activities. Among other things, it will establish a (new) right for any person to request information, "whether or not contained in any written form which is in the custody or possession of any public official, agency or institution."

According to section 5 of the Act, where information is applied for under the Act, the public institution shall, within seven days after the application is received, make the information available to the applicant.

A person who is denied access to any information may, however, sue the public institution within 30 days of the notice of denial and the court is mandated to hear the case summarily under the Act.

It is an offence punishable by three years imprisonment, under the Act, for any public officer of a public institution to destroy, alter, falsify, or deliberately misrepresent information kept in their custody.

Over 85 countries around the world have implemented some form of such legislation. Sweden's Freedom of the Press Act of 1766 is the oldest.

This riff raf has started another thread again

EFCC has become a joke!

Mr. Bankole's conversation with the then U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Ms. Robbin Sanders, did not only indict the top echelon of the judiciary, the Speaker also derided the country's foremost anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Mr. Bankole said that the chairman of the EFCC, Farida Waziri, with the complicity of the president, was working hand-in-hand with the Attorney General of the Federation to ensure that the corruption charges brought against Mr. Ibori by the former chairman of the EFCC, Nuhu Ribadu, were quashed.

"Bankole said the EFCC would not move on Ibori, given his past financial support to Yar'Adua's campaign and Ibori's relationship to Attorney General (AG) Michael Aondoakaa, implying also that Waziri was very much under the control of the AG," Ms. Sanders' said in her report.

According to the ambassador, Mr. Bankole's disregard for Mrs. Waziri was apparent and his judgment of the Waziri-led EFCC was harsh.

"Noting that he did not think the EFCC was worth ‘one penny' and that he had no confidence in it or Mrs. Waziri's leadership or her integrity, the Speaker added that he did not believe the EFCC could be an effective institution under her leadership," the report said.

Mr. Bankole also said that he felt that Mrs. Waziri had trumped up the issues surrounding the N2.3billion car contract scandal for personal interests.

But while the U.S. ambassador expressed the concern that Mr. Bankole's bias against Mrs. Waziri may have stemmed from a personal quarrel, she liked the Speaker's condemnation of the EFCC chairman's performance.

In her response, Ms. Sanders told Mr. Bankole that the US "had little confidence in her (Mrs. Waziri) leadership, her independence, her transparency, and in her ability to lead Nigeria's anti-corruption fight."

Saying the anti-graft war had become a charade under Waziri, the ambassador said the U.S. government had deliberately truncated the funding of some programmes in the agency.

"Certainly, it was refreshing to hear more honest comments about the puppet role of the EFCC Chairwoman Waziri," Ms. Sanders said in the cable.

Spokesperson to the EFCC and Mrs. Waziri, Femi Babafemi, could not be reached for comments on Sunday. Several telephone calls to his mobile telephone failed to connect.

We had just had elections in 2007 that, by most accounts, were possibly worst ever, and the legitimacy of the presidential poll that the authorities had declared won by Umaru Yar'Adua and his running mate, Goodluck Jonathan, hung in the balance.

Justices of our Supreme Court, the final arbiters of the disputed election, immediately became the objects of affection of interested politicians, who proceeded to shower them with cash to make sure they confirmed the legitimacy of the election of Messrs Yar'Adua and Jonathan, according to secret US diplomatic cables leaked to the whistleblower site Wikileaks and made available to NEXT.

According to the cables, filed to Washington by then US ambassador to Abuja, Robin Sanders, the source of this information was none other than the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole.

Following a two-hour meeting with Mr. Bankole on May 5, 2009, Ms. Sanders filed a report to the US State Department in which she said the House Speaker told her he had proof that the venerable justices were bought and paid for with cash supplied by the former governor of Delta State, James Ibori.

According to Mr. Bankole, Mr. Ibori, a convicted criminal, who is being held in preventive detention in Dubai while awaiting extradition to London to face the latest in his many corruption trials, got the then newly appointed federal attorney general, Michael Aondoakaa, to serve as bag man, delivering the cash to the unnamed Supreme Court justices.

Mr. Bankole also told the US ambassador that by accepting bribes to reach a legal condition favourable to President Yar'Adua and Vice President Jonathan, the supreme court justices had "tasted blood".

The cables made exclusively available to NEXT are part of a cache of more than 250,000 US diplomatic reports leaked to Wikileaks, the whistleblower web site now under legal siege in Europe and whose work has caused major embarrassment for the US government.

While the revelation from Mr. Bankole cannot be independently verified by NEXT, the cables themselves are indisputably authentic and the U.S government has never cast doubt on the accounts.

On May 6, 2009, a day after the meeting with the Speaker, Ms. Sanders filed a report to her principals in Washington, detailing her interaction with Mr. Bankole, whom she described as "sometimes elusive, but certainly ego-driven."

"Bankole claimed that he had proof that most of the judges had lined their pockets throughout the entire process of rerunning state elections, including the Supreme Court decision on President Yar'Adua's case in November 2008," the diplomatic cable read.

‘It is not true'

When contacted on Sunday, Mr. Bankole did not deny that he had met with the US ambassador but claimed he was misquoted.

"He could not have said what was attributed to him," Mr. Bankole's spokesman, Musa Ebhomhiana, said by telephone. "He is not an INEC official and could not have said that about the election. But how can you believe whatever Wikileaks says, given the damage it has been doing around the world?"

On his part, Mr. Aondoakaa said Bankole's allegation is ‘rubbish'. "I don't know whether he really said that or why he said it," the former AGF said by telephone. "But let him come out in the open and say it. Then, I will know what to say or do."

Mr. Aondoakaa denied that he passed bribes to the justices. "Yar'Adua is not a man who gives bribe, and Ibori did not give me a kobo to give to anybody. I didn't do anything like that."

The justices involved in the case could not be reached on Sunday.

When contacted, Sunday Olorundahunsi, the chief registrar at the Supreme Court who also doubles as spokesperson for our highest court, wouldn't comment on the statement credited to Mr. Bankole. Immediately our reporter posed his question to him via telephone, Mr. Olorundahunsi terminated the call. He did not answer subsequent calls.

A former Chief Justice of the Nation, Muhammadu Uwais, declined comment on Mr. Bankole's comment, saying he had retired at the time the Supreme Court decided the case.

Justices of the Supreme Court and other senior judges have lately been enveloped in the stench of another election scandal, in which senior judges have accused one another of manoeuvring to reassign judges in a way that friendly justices can determine the outcome of election cases.

The 2007 presidential election was characterized by irregularities and violence and was rated by both international and domestic observers as the worst election ever held in the country.

Dissatisfied with the outcome of the election, two contestants, Muhammadu Buhari of the All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP) and Atiku Abubakar of the Action Congress (AC) dragged Mr. Yar'Adua to court, asking that the election be annulled.

In February 2008, the Court of Appeal upheld the election. The appellants then took their case to the Supreme Court. The seven-member panel of the Supreme Court concurred with the appellate court in November that year.

The four Judges who voted in favour of Mr. Yar'Adua were Legbo Kutigi, who was the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) at the time; Aloysius Katsina-Alu, the current CJN; Niki Tobi; and Dahiru Musdapher. Justices George Oguntade, Maryam Mukthar and Samuel Onnoghen, in a minority judgment, held that the election failed substantially to comply with the law.
