develop modular Refineries in the State to take advantage of the crude Oil in neighbouring Niger Republic

sonOfLucifer:
Bias? What does that say about Saraki's refusal to step down despite the accusations made against him? Shouldn't the lawmaker be held to higher standards of probity?

donphilopus:
Which 'needful' should he do? Which integrity is at stake? The integrity of the Nigerian Senate is the one at stake. Saraki should be honorable enough to resign and go face his trial.

modath:
Thought Saraki claimed he is now "happy" that Supreme court ruled against him so he could show his "enemies" up & his "sympathizers" are positive that he is "innocent" & a victim of persecution, why then is he running away from an opportunity to present the fact of his case?!!

Guess there is no way to positively spin making 50x seperate deposits in one day when one isn't a wholesale commodities trader in a major market!!!

In the face of the lingering fuel crisis, the Trade Union Congress (TUC), on Tuesday, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to hand over as the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, saying that the office is too strategic to be combined with that of the President.

This was stated by the President of the Union, Comrade Bobboi Bala Kaigama, at the ‘Save Nigeria Oil and Gas Industry Round Table Conference in Abuja.’

According to Kaigama, President Buhari should appoint as minister someone who’s knowledgeable and experienced in the industry.
“There is cogent need for appointment of a substantive Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources. The ideal candidate for this should be someone who has the necessary knowledge, experience and competence, and who would directly oversee the affairs of the ministry and report regularly to the President.”

“That position is too critically important to the economy to be subsumed as one of the many offices or portfolios of the President and Commander-in-Chief. Of course the position of Minister of State for Petroleum and Mineral Resources should continue to exist as a junior minister in the ministry. A separate Group Managing Director (GMD) of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) should also be appointed to directly supervise the affairs of the NNPC.”

It is even good this case is well followed so that all these blunders would be fully documented.The stupid judge has ended up allowing his emotions get a better hold of him and messing up whatever stupid judgement he has planned to deliver

Sunnycliff:
How much does Saraki pay you

Though am not in support of this movie script by Tinubu and APC

9jatriot:
The report says he explained what a debit card was to the witness not answer the question.
What is the difference between a debit card and an ATM card?

If the anti-corruption drive of Buhari's administration is truly holistic and non-selective as the president and his media aides make us to believe, Mr. President as a matter of urgency, should forward the names of all those involved in the CBN recruitment scandal to the EFCC for immediate prosecution.

All these news to make the judge seem partial. These things happen in our courts daily, nothing dramatic about it jo.

A founding member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje has warned that the worst will happen if the Senate President, Bukola Saraki is removed from office, as the All Progressives Congress, APC, may “have the PDP taking over the Senate presidency and deputy.”
The former acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, made this assertion in an interview with some journalists in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital. He observed that no other Senate president has suffered “dry, blatant, political tyrannical and open persecution” as Bukola Saraki, since the return of democracy in 1999.

Daily Trust further quotes Baraje as disclosing that prior to the 2015 general elections, the APC had only three states in the North Central but “with a dint of hard work, Saraki delivered the zone 100 per cent.”

He added that the APC should be proud of producing the Senate President, stressing that “The PDP episode with Tambuwal (former House of Representatives Speaker) is still fresh in history. The PDP then didn’t throw the baby away with the bath water, knowing fully well that such move will be counterproductive. It was well managed and Tambuwal remained the Speaker under the then PDP.

“Our party may loath the ways of PDP, but out of every bad situation and experience, there are atoms of goodness, and every visionary leader will separate the chaff from the corn and take what is good out of it. So, it is not as if the Senate president has gone against his party.”

Speaking on the Kwara APC leader’s trial at the CCT, he said: “the case of Saraki has not followed due process and rule of law. It was the due process that was missing in the case of Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, and he was discharged but not acquitted. So, why is Saraki’s case different?

“So, as regards whether we are comfortable with where we are and whether we are joining other groups, every politician has aspirations about the development of his people, and if you cannot achieve it in one place, you go to another place. It doesn’t mean that I am a political prostitute. I am a principled person and will not stop until I get what I want, which in this case is good governance, equality, democratic dividends for my people. Impunity, lawlessness, lack of due process are not what formed the APC. With the intervention of some leaders like us, the party will continue to thrive, but for it not to go the way of the PDP, the president must play politics.”

While advising Buhari to be more involved with happenings in APC in order to checkmate the culture of impunity which made his group leave the PDP, Baraje said: “We must sound a note of warning to President Buhari to shine his eyes. There are people in the party, in the guise of reconciling people, who say they are working for the success of the party, while (they are) actually doing that for their own selfish interest.

“We would never romance impunity. President Buhari should be wary of them and play more politics now. He has gone into the house and has seen how bad it is; he has reorganised the house and what is left now is to consolidate on the reorganisation.”
