DaBullIT:
For those shouting Wwitch hunt and Persecution of PDP members


Constitution as amended in 1999 states every new administration must probe the previous one , that is unnegotiable , Unfortunately PDP and their padi padi government failed to do that


Secondly , this has happened before ,

What!? You mean you have forgotten? Then, let me refresh your memory. You see, exactly 2 years ago, on June 20th 2014, our own EFCC froze Murtala Inyako's account. He was, at the time, still sitting as the governor of Adamawa State. He had immunity too.

The government of the day argued, that his account must be frozen so that proper investigation can be carried out, and so that he will not be sble to move monies that were supposedly belonging to that poor state out of the account. In fact, I made two posts supporting that government, for going after the man's account through EFCC.

That account is still locked down till today. Baba Nyako was (still is) unable to access that account. In fact, the next ruling for the care to de-freeze of Baba Mai Mangoro's account will be tomorrow, June 22, 2016; exactly 2 years and 1 day. Let Fayose go to court and get his bank account de-frozen. He needs the money like plant needs water. I heard "he is not a barawo". We don't want him to go hungry. Do we?

Oh, so you remember? Then if you want to criticize this government, please do. But don't say, "This is the only government that is witch-hunting opposition". I didn't see that one as witch-hunt. I'll not see this one as so. There was precedent in this 16 year old democracy, set by PDP in 2014.

You can even pretend to care so much about values by saying, "But two wrongs don't make no right". But please, do not insult our memory and intelligence by saying, "This is the first time...". It is not. And stop saying "We are drifting towards dictatorship" because of this case, when for the same reason we didn't in 2014.

Oh, you mean you don't even know? Okay, now you do. Don't you think he deserved fair hearing too? Oh, you know but don't give a damn because he is not a member of PDP? okay, may God save us from you. But I don't like your double-standard. I supported it in 2014. I'm supporting it in 2016. TonyeBarcanista, Omenka kindly state your views

The fact that it happened to Nyako doesn't make it right. Of course yu know that two wrongs doesn't make it right.

I want to finally nail the coffin over the issue of the proprietary of EFCC freezing the account of a sitting governor in Nigeria.

Many commentators, articles and social media post were writing by persons who know little or nothing about the law on immunity while some merely copied and pasted and assumed the position of attorneys at law.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which is the ground norm and the supreme law of the law provides that the president, vice president, governors and deputies are protected from civil or criminal trials while in office. It is trite law that any law inconsistent with the constitution shall be null and void to the level of its inconsistency. Meaning that not the entire law is void but that particular paragraph of the law which contravenes the constitution.

On the other hand, the EFCC Act which is a law subject to the constitution provides that the EFCC can investigate and freeze the account of anybody not withstanding any law. Now that's the problem of the EFCC Act. It cannot be above the constitution such that it oust the operation of the provisions of the constitution against it.

For those who doesn't know how an account is frozen, the EFCC must obtained an order of court ex parte to enable it freeze an account. Court processes must be filed and a judge in chambers will hear the application and grant it and same will be served on the bank to freeze the account. The owner of such account is a party to that proceeding even though at that time he is not to be heard as the application is being heard without his notice.

This point in my above paragraph is where the judge and the EFCC officials got it wrong. They have powers to investigate but they are barred from filing any process against the governor leading to his account frozen. No matter how suspicious the account looks like, once it is in the name of Ayodele Fayose who is a sitting governor, they cannot freeze it. That is the law.

The president swore to uphold the law and sworn by the Constitution and not the EFCC Act and he should therefore be seen to be protecting the constitution he swore to uphold. Anything else is pure politics and its a very dangerous trend and precedent he is setting.

DrLuv:
your instinct is completely wrong...there isba comfirmed story published by new york times for that year that she was an imposter

Ur link?

My legal instincts are telling me that Fayose may be right because of the following observations:
1. The Haliburton scandal started right from Abacha's time and ended in 2006.
2. The woman whose passport they are circulating is said to be on the run.
3. The present passport we have here was renewed in 2012-2017!
It simply doesn't add up but brings up more questions to be asked.

mrvitalis:
This is the problem with Nigeria
U were robbed and they arrest the theifs and u end up defending them.... what is his source of income that he can donate even 15 million??

So people cannot legitimately make money outside government?

whirlwind7:
I commend you for sharing your experience and expenses incurred for this project. I also would like to know how many coaches were constructed.

Now, why wouldn't you want to mention the said community? I see nothing wrong in doing so. Everyone knows that development fees are usually demanded almost everywhere, but 200k is rather too high. Please, I want to know what community. I am hoping to acquire plots within Awka, especially around Ebenebe.

Keep rising!

Nothing like a development fee in Plateau or Adamawa. I know that as a matter of fact.

Is that not Sule Lamido welcoming him?

No wonder we are not hearing anything from EFCC about the prosecution of Sule Lamido and his 2 sons

utenwuson:
in 10 days? or ten years?

Don't mind them jare. That's how Buhari's 10days trip had turned to 14days

Yu cannot sit and resolve the slapping of a magistrate o!

Ofunaofu:
the PDP is the reason why he is relevant. this is someone the APC frustrated out of the Party but PDP took him in and made him a national Chairman

In other words, APC is using him to create an impression that there is division in PDP so that NASS members of PDP can cross-carpet to APC citing division as excuse.

So beyond the ear, the chest too get problem abi?

This man is a known thug and was in 2008 or thereabout charged to court for leading a group of thugs to burn the house of Nasiru Mantu then the deputy senate president.

He was an aide to Senator Chief Dr. Joshua Chibi Dariye a serving 2 term senator and former governor of Plateau state.

Chris Giwa is sitting on plenty cash

chimaobinelson:
in Tony Umeze's voice: Giwa dorling, pleas dont stop untill Nija earn some ban from FIFA #isthis guy hausa, y so palava

He is Berom from Plateau state

Osibanjo the fearless one who tread where a general dares not.

That 1st pix, is he waving or saying "Shege"

He called the Lagos visit because of ear infection and he cancelled the Ogoni trip because of fear infection

But why didn't he cancelled any foreign trip?

OP ur present post makes the situation even 'worser'.

From ur quotes, that's exactly what he said that they said rubbish during the campaigns.

Another annoying fact about ur post is that yu started by using abusive words just like other APC goons.

Ur post too is utter RUBBISH!

OP but why this lie?

The pictures are of different venues Na. One is like a stadium and the one seems like a makeshift scaffold or platform.

See banner on one and no banner on the second.

Which one is easier to do?
Providing a copy of the certificate he has to the general public and laying this issue to rest or attacking a judge who is doing justice?

redsconsult:
What happen to our civic education that says at 18 years we can vote and be voted for....

No law or provision can go contrary to the constitution which provides for the ages per office mentioned.

Tolexander:
Mr Eric Omare, please tell Tompolo to come out of his hiding place and present himself to the Nigerian government.

Buhari is not smiling!

How can he account for Tompolo?

Yu lied about Banana Island and Aso Rock as the only place in Nigeria with underground electricity. In Jos, Plateau state, the University of Jos senior staff quarters located along Bauchi ring road has underground electricity since the 1980's till date.

"The fall of a dead leave, is a warning to the green ones"

Psalms 62:1 - My soul finds rest in God
alone; my salvation comes from him.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

Islam: You get bury in time and economical too with just simple casket and with a wrapper.

Xtain: You stayed in morgue for days or months and later buried with "expensive" casket and cloth like suit or wedding gown look alike.

Am not saying Xtain ways of burial process is bad, am just saying, i kind of love Islamic ways for economical and fast reasons. The dead is dead while keep for so look before digging the ground.

Which way do you prefer? We all owned death a debt, but i pray: We should all pay at diffrent time at old ages.

Yeah !
Getting buried fast when yu only fainted.
That's how someone fainted and was about to be buried sharp sharp as usual and he suddenly woke up. Come and see race! Dan buro uba!

JBismarck:
They're two different situations. Tukur admitted to have aided his principal in stealing money hence the administrative bail so as to encourage others who wish to cooperate with EFCC in future. His case didnt get to court. FFK on the other hand wasn't cooperating with EFCC, so, his case has reached court. It is the decision of the court to remand him.

Lalasticlala Mogidi mynd44 Obinoscopy

So the aim is to make him implicate his principal abi? Ur line of reasoning doesn't make sense at all.

FFK is not supposed to cooperate with EFCC. The anti-graft agency is supposed to investigate and gather its evidence before going to court and not the other way round.

because Lagos is APC and Ekiti is PDP abi? Okay lets compare Rivers (PDP) and Yobe or Borno (both APC)

Foolish fool

Keneking:
But where is lalasticlala sef

I know that hall because I used it in 2004 for an elective course in political science. Then I was a 400 level law student.

The building is located at the Permanent site of the University of Jos and it was actually a 2 storey huge edifice meant for usage as library but demarcated with wood into various halls for lectures.

A magistrate is not a Justice. He is called "your worship".

Meanwhile in sane societies, law enforcement agencies first conclude investigations before arresting but not in Nigeria.

My bench

My temporary office.

That story is true.

She is also the Secretary Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Jos branch.

So even Minister Fashola doesn't know that its N145 and not N107 as stated by him.

Strike gaining momentum in Jos. Federal Government owned Highland FM radio station located inside NTA TV College in Rayfield just delivered abridged news and announced shut down due to strike by NLC.

Did the judge ordered other Nigerians not to protest? NO!!!!!!!!

So to the streets we go tomorrow.
