Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Mr. Michael Aondoakaa, has refuted allegations of his refusal of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)’s request for approval of 25 witnesses, to witness in the United Kingdom in a suit involving former Delta State governor, James Ibori. The AGF also dismissed insinuations that there is a face off between his office and that of the EFCC.

In a statement by the AGF on Sunday in Abuja, he noted that “there is no truth in the reports that the office of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice has refused to approve the request from the EFCC for 25 witnesses to appear as witness in London on Monday (today) in the suit involving former Delta state governor, James Ibori.”

According to him, the report is not only false but baseless, adding that ‘it is the prerogative of any Nigerian to be willing to give evidence or not in any suit anywhere in the country or the world.
“It is the sole fundamental right of Nigerians to decide whether to give evidence or to testify in Nigeria or anywhere in the world, that decision has nothing to do with the office of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice of the Federation, he restated.

Aondoakaa noted that there is a very good working relationship between his office and that of the anti graft commission, especially in the joint efforts to fight corruption in the country.
He noted that the mantra of the President Umaru Yar’Adua’s administration is respect for the rule of law. He added that all hands are on deck to ensure that citizens rights are protected and that Nigerians are not forced to do things against their conscience.
In a swift reaction, the Transition Monitoring Group has called on President Umaru Yar’Adua to call the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Chief Michael Aondoakaa to order over his alleged desperate moves to interfere in the allegation of corruption levelled against former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori.

The group in a statement by its chairman, Mr. Mashood Erubami and Publicity Secretary, Musa Rafsanjani, said the latest report on Aondoakaa, over his alleged desperate move to stall and impede the metropolitan police from prosecuting Ibori and his associates was unfortunate.
TMG noted that the action of the minister had proved that there was no reprieve yet for the country in terms of corruption.
It said, “It is an open design, to frustrate the trial and chart an odious path for freedom for the charged, a new extra- judicial twist introduced into the case by the minister to save his political friends and career for all times.

“It is once again confirmed that the TMG has been vindicated to have been correct in calling for the removal of the minister as it is now obvious that with ministers like Aondoakaa, the seven-point agenda of the president Umaru Yar’Adua has proven to be empty words,” It added.
The group said that the action of the minister to sit on the request of the EFCC to allow it to help the metropolitan police by releasing the 25 witnesses necessary to prosecute Ibori’s case was the height of corruption.

The action, the group maintained, was capable of casting aspersion on the President’s moral resolve to fight corruption as a cankerworm, which has become synonymous with the image of Nigeria and its leadership, if not immediately checked.
In the same vein, the Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG), described the AFG’s action as shameful and a desecration of the office of the number one law officer of the country.
In a statement by the groups’s National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, the AGF’s conduct peaked recently when he constituted himself to a law court and cleared three ex-governors of money laundry charges. In the process he presented a forged evidence of clearance, which was swiftly disowned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

As if that was not enough, he has been reported to have frustrated the EFCC from cooperating with the London Metropolitan Police in the prosecution of Ibori and associates which opened in London on 21st September, 2007 the statement further read: Unfortunately, Mr. President has continued to bury his head in the sand and thinks because he sees nobody, then nobody is seeing him. But not so, Nigerians can read clearly that a President who ordered security agents to go after bank’s borrowers cannot find his voice now that it is political looters. Does it not worry him that investigations into Siemens and Halliburton bribery scandals have died a natural deaths? The group queried.

ARG therefore called for the immediate sack of Aondoakaa and order the Justice Ministry to co-operate with the Metropolitan Police on the Ibori and associates trial in compliance with the provision of Mutual Legal Assistance Agreement between Nigeria and United Kingdom (UK).
But in a release, Tony Eluemunor, Media Aide to James Ibori, put the makers straight. Citing recent newspapers reports on the alleged trial, he accused the newspapers of misplacing the facts. According to Eluemunor, contrary to reports claiming that the trial would begin on the African Development Fund Inc (AFDI) role in the sale of V-Mobile shares on behalf of some state governments, nothing could be further from the truth as the V-Mobile shares case will not be heard in any court in London on Monday, September 21.

Rather, what comes up in London court on September 21, 2009, that concerns Ibori either closely or remotely is: The preliminary hearings of the old money laundering case which has been on since last year, against some of his associates, he pointed out. This time the defence teams open their accusation of misconduct against the prosecution and this will take weeks as agreed in the pre-trial meeting.

President Umaru Yar’Adua’s electoral reform is set for examination in the United States on October 1.

The American audience will listen to the critics of the reform and a Federal Government delegation.

The two parties have confirmed their readiness to appear at a forum being organised by the Change Nigeria Project Incorporated.

According to a letter of invitation obtained from a source in The Presidency, the event will hold at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Auditorium in Washington D.C.

As a mark of its commitment to removing electoral flaws, President Umaru Yar’Adua had in 2007 inaugurated an Electoral Reform Committee (ERC), which was headed by Justice Muhammadu Uwais (rtd).

The ERC submitted its report to the President in December, last year, after "considering 1,466 memoranda and holding public hearings in 12 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) at which no less than 907 representations were made.

But the review of the ERC’s report by the Federal Executive Council has been widely criticised by many Nigerians, especially the opposition.

The Federal Government has also stuck to its right to review the ERC report, fuelling international interest in the debate.

It was learnt that the October 1 debate is organised by Change Nigeria Project Incorporated, in conjunction with the House Committee on Diaspora, to enable the international community feel the pulse of the reform debate in Nigeria.

Findings revealed that some of the speakers will also talk on the Niger Delta, Diaspora Voting Rights and the Role of Diaspora in Nation Building.

Some eminent Nigerians slated to speak are Nobel laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka; former Chief Justice of Nigeria Muhammadu Uwais; Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State; President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Mr Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN); former President of the Senate, Chief Ken Nnamani; former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.

Others are Vice-President of the World Bank, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, Chairman of the House Committee on Diaspora, Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, President of the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People (MOSOP), Ledum Mitte, and a delegation of the Federal Government, including the Attorney-General of the Federation and Justice Minister, Chief Mike Aondoakaa (SAN); and the Minister of Niger Delta, Obong Ufot Ekaette.

With the exception of Soyinka, Uwais, Nnamani, and Akeredolu, all other speakers have confirmed their preparedness to participate at the forum.

One of the letters, signed by the Secretary of Change Nigeria Project, Somi Obozuwa, said the forum is designed to "galvanise Nigerians on the imperative of nation-building which goal cannot be accomplished without an attitudinal change that ushers in good governance at all levels of our society".

"This is to be followed by question-and-answer session by the audience."

Investigation by our correspondent revealed that there are reservations in the Presidency over the likelihood of Ribadu and el-Rufai using the forum to launch propaganda against the Federal Government.

A source said: "While it is true that Aondoakaa and Ekaette have confirmed plans to attend the session, the government is weighing the security implications.

"We knew what these people did to influence the opinion of the US Secretary of State, Mrs. Hillary Clinton, on Yar’Adua’s administration. We are suspicious that the forum might be hijacked to run down this administration.

"In any case, we still have less than two weeks to the debate. We hope there will be fairness.President Umaru Yar’Adua’s administration has nothing to hide but it is unfortunate that some people with hidden agenda have been running down the government abroad."

Guys what would you do if another guy buys a phone for your girl. Meanwhile she has no phone, has complained to you and you tell her to wait a bit. Finally, she tells you she loves you and won’t return the said phone upon your request.

I was nearly moved to tears this morning when I saw Gani Fawehinmi’s burial poster on a wall in a street of Aba! It made me sit back and think: does any one really know how popular this man is? Where his name has reached? Did how even know? Certainly not! Me, too, I don’t know why I decided to write this . . . . . I’m simply dumb and confused with respect and awe . . . . . REST IN PEACE, GREAT MAN!!!!!

Again if u r so hell bent on coming just flash them, don't spend a night there! And don't let even the 'ANGELS' there know u r coming. . . .

My sister stay where u r. Ur life is more than palmwine & bushmeat.

The jeep was said to be travelling from Lagos to Akure as part of the convoy he was to come to Gani's burial in. The rear tyre of the jeep exploded & it rammed into a trailer. Bankole,however, was expected to fly to Akure.

While Gani can be called d Mandela of Nigeria, he can't be called d Gani of Africa, unlike Mandela. While Mandela's South Africa grew, our (Gani's) dear Nigeria refused tn grow one bit. So, Gani's got practically nothing to show for his fights.

Fellows, I tink it's time for some comic relief. Let's leave serious political discuss for now & get some fresh air. Who do u tink are Nigeria's ugliest(wowocious) & most handsome governors. I vote Oshiomole of Edo State & Babangida Aliyu(i tink) of Niger State for the Ugly Category . Sullivan Chime of Enugu State, Fashola of Lagos State & Isa Yuguda r my handsome ones. Alao Akala of Oyo State also. . . . gives me a cause 2 VOMIT. . . .lol. Cast ur vote(s). . .

@ aisha2. A hot kiss won't be bad 4 u, my dear. Don't mind me: it's been raining since morning in Aba. . . .

Didn't u guyz see d (?) in d post? I believe d poster wanted 2 know if Gani's obsequies made him a fake Muslim. I am a Xtian but I think it does not as it has no spiritual affiliation,which is wot matters most in religion. And, mind u, Gani instructed no 1 not to bury him d day he died, & he is not a member of his burial Planning Committee.
