@ ericuzor, God bless your bright mind and may he continue to equip you more with better visions and intellect. Its a pity many so-called youths of today don't even know diddly-squat about the history of their country let alone their family history. Well done, I knew this all along and I know any attempt to smuggle this demonic bill into our constitution will bring Nigeria to her end. |
sammyomal:You lost me completely does that mean "Church" is the only place you can meet "assembly of the brethren"? |
Rubbish! |
ugolance:By May 10 when his trial shall commence this shall be his lot |
ShakaZullu:You betcha.... I am with you on "all current politicians are corrupt" but I won't shut up pal ![]() ![]() |
.....and Saraki is still the Senate President here in Nigeria despite being confirmed that 900,000 Naira was deposited into his GTbank 50 times in a single when he is not a mobile CBN. |
This is serious may God help Nigerians from gross ineptitude of our leaders in discharging their responsibilities well.... |
Hilarious piece but loaded with thought-provoking words |
sabacity:You are not far from the truth bro....Lalasticlala this is front page worthy abeg. |
feflo:You are doing good pal, will patronize you soon....I hope you can supply someone in Abuja too. I appreciate the safety tips and advice you offer free of charge. |
Penalty if convicted If eventually found guilty, the Code of Conduct Tribunal is empowered by the paragraph 18 (1)(2), Part 1 of the fifth schedule to the Constitution to remove Mr. Saraki from the National Assembly; bar him from holding any public office for a period not exceeding 10 years; and/or confiscate his properties determined as ones acquired in abuse or corruption of office. To those who say the CCT is not empowered to remove Saraki from office if convicted, I hope somebody somewhere is reading this..... |
More Nigerians want Nigeria’s embattled senate president, Bukola Saraki, to step down from office as he faces corruption trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, a poll conducted by PREMIUM TIMES has shown. The poll, sampling public opinion on whether Mr. Saraki should resign in view of his trial, ran on the newspapers’ site for two weeks ending May 5. It showed significant public support for Mr. Saraki’s resignation. The poll had five structured answers from which a total of 5,454 respondents chose. A total of 3,624 respondents, representing 66 per cent, chose “Yes, he is a corrupt person”, implying the senate president is corrupt and should stand down. Another 652, representing 12 percent, also wanted Mr. Saraki to resign, choosing “yes, he does not represent APC change agenda”. In sum, either because “he is a corrupt person” or “he does not represent APC change agenda”, 4,276 respondents, 78 per cent, voted that Mr. Saraki should resign. Altogether, 647 respondents, representing 12 per cent, voted “No, his travails are just political vendetta”, while 315, representing six per cent, said the Senate President should not resign. The last group voted “No, he is innocent of all charges unless proven otherwise in court”. Therefore, 962 respondents, 17.6 per cent, elected to stand with Mr. Saraki on his vow to stay in office unless he is ultimately convicted. Foramfera The remaining 223 respondents, or four per cent, said “I don’t care” whether Mr. Saraki resigns. The Trial Mr. Saraki, in charge number ABT/01/15 dated September 11, 2015 and filed before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, is accused of offences ranging from anticipatory declaration of assets to making false declaration of assets in forms he filed before the Code of Conduct Bureau while he was governor of Kwara state. The senate president is also accused of failing to declare some assets he acquired while in office as governor. Mr. Saraki is also accused of operating foreign accounts while being a public officer. On April 18, three new corruption charges were added to the initial 13-counts. Mr. Saraki denies wrongdoing, and pleaded “not guilty” to the amended charges. The prosecution has called one witness, Michael Wetkas, from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, to detail how Mr. Saraki allegedly looted Kwara State and brazenly converted state’s funds to personal use. Mr. Saraki is yet to begin his defence. Penalty if convicted If eventually found guilty, the Code of Conduct Tribunal is empowered by the paragraph 18 (1)(2), Part 1 of the fifth schedule to the Constitution to remove Mr. Saraki from the National Assembly; bar him from holding any public office for a period not exceeding 10 years; and/or confiscate his properties determined as ones acquired in abuse or corruption of office. Mr. Saraki has repeatedly accused the chairman of the Tribunal, Danladi Umar, of bias, expressing “big fear” he may not get justice from Mr. Umar. He has filed a motion in the CCT asking Mr. Umar to disqualify himself from his trial. The motion was dismissed prompting him to seek relief of the Appeal Court to upturn the chairman’s ruling. The senate president also alleges that his trial is politically motivated, having emerged Senate President in defiance of the position of his party, All Progressives Congress, which favoured Ahmed Lawan from Yobe State for the position. Mr. Saraki has also subtly accused former Lagos Governor, Bola Tinubu, of masterminding his travails, as retaliation for his opposition to Mr. Tinubu’s ambition to contest as Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate in the last presidential poll. I won’t resign Mr. Saraki has since vowed not to resign. He told his colleagues in 2015 to “stand with me to defend the National Assembly!” The Senate, last month, during a session led by Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, while his boss was attending trail at CCT, resolved to support its embattled President “to the end, except he is convicted”. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/202976-nigerians-want-saraki-resign-corruption-trial-poll.html Cc: Lalasticlala there you have it! |
gunuvi:That's the clown for you he will always have something to say I just pray that the silly Nigerians who voted them into power in 2015 will be serious enough to chase them out come 2019! |
Presbulg:I can bet it that there are more than enough yams to eat already abi no be Naija we dey just wait till 2019. As much as I am with Buhari on this one, I am not a fan of his method of fielding corrupt politicians as ministers of sensitive portfolios....he should have engaged seasoned technocrats and sound minded and corrupt-free captains of industries. |
sunnyb0b0:Abeg Sunny leave that dude alone he is still day dreaming. |
The awada kerikeri exponent is at his rabble-rousing games again.....Niger Delta is boiling at the moment, he is busy psyching the public of one refinery that will supply over 600,000 bpd when no spokesperson of the refinery is yet to confirm this ![]() |
@ omonnakoda, its Complete Moot Points you raised up there.... Not feasible and plausible. |
olasmith10:.....and you think Buhari will dish out the "Odi's Treatment" this time around? |
This is serious and grim. The issues raised by these boys are genuine and germane to the future of Nigeria as a Nation. I sincerely pity Buhari as he has an uphill task to grapple with. |
You may not be far from the truth pal. There is a strong connection from the Western World regarding these bombings and it is for real. |
disloman:Are you for real? You just mention peace as if you know what it means. You are a Nigerian yet Nigerians cannot boast of 18 hours of light a day, good roads to transfer goods to places of businesses, good water to drink, adequate security, good and decent accommodation, and many more unbefitting experiences affecting us all as a people and here you are huffing and puffing like Nigeria is under a peaceful atmosphere before. |
Stop this rubbish @ op, this is not Fayose. |
Oya accursed soul let's go there......I swear nobody go beg you to resign if that seat na Emirate you go tell us very soon. Imagine this shameless rogue with his flagrant display of effrontery before the public glare. Animal buruku.... |
Keep delivering "inaugural lectures" up and down Mr Rocket Science! |
Adminisher:Its a pity you are the certified dullard here with a badge of honour. A consuming economy like Nigeria cannot borrow her way to prosperity only a producing economy does that and come out prosperous.....yes Fayose is right.... Do you understand now? |
Odikwa risky Ese kwu.....too pathetic |

Donariok:See this clown getting busy on top lies ![]()
|
A reasonable Minister would have resigned long before now being a failure but not this clown with his funny looking face.....bloody rogues. Imagine Nigeria recording 0MW under this clueless clown as Minister of Power, Roads and Housing! Mr Rocket Science...... |
