@Afam

I am suspecting that this is a grand design to throw the entire country into confusion. They are playing out a script.

More dramas are still expected as poll date draws nearer. I guess some parties may setup their own INEC

President Olusegun Obasanjo, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Musa Yar’Adua and 22 others have been indicted by a five-man commission of enquiry set up by Abia State government about a week ago.

The panel, set up to probe the activities of various individuals from 1999 till date, submitted its report, which has, in-turn, been adopted by the Abia State Executive Council.

Briefing newsmen at the end of the weekly State Executive Council meeting, which ratified the report in Umuahia, on Wednesday, the Abia State Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Chief Anthony Agbazuere, disclosed that the council, after a thorough deliberation, accepted the report of the commission and the accompanying white paper on the report.

Those he listed as indicted by the panel are: PDP national secretary, Chief Ojo Maduekwe; Hon. Mbah Ajah, Chief Obasanjo, Dr. Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, Alhaji Yar’Adua, his running mate, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, the party’s state governorship candidate, Chief Onyema Ugochukwu; Elder Iheanacho Okezie Orji, Chief Enyinnaya Abaribe and Chief Allen Nwachukwu.

Others are Chief Patrick Onwuka, Mrs. Victoria Akanwa, Chief Chijioke Nwakodo, Chief Chinwe Nwanganga, Henry Beleogu, Felix Ebere, Hon. Mao Ohuabunwa, Barr. C.S.L Nwosu, Mrs. Nkeiru Onyejiocha, Chief Tony Ukasoanya, Chief Friday Onukwue and Hon. Damian Ozurumba.
Chief Agbazuere disclosed that the report had been gazetted and consequently, the indicted individuals stood disqualified from contesting any election in Nigeria.

The Federal Government had made similar move at the national level disqualifying some prominent politicians purportedly indicted for corruption, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), from running for offices in the forthcoming elections.
The Federal Executive Council, which reviewed the report of the administrative panel that considered the list of 135 indicted candidates compiled by the EFCC, however, pruned the number to 37 at a special meeting last week.

Information Minister, Frank Nweke Jnr. said the affected candidates, who included Vice President Atiku Abubakar and some governors, stood indicted and disqualified from contesting the elections.
The administrative panel, headed by the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice, Prof. Ignatius Ayua, submitted its report on Monday, February 12.
Less than 24 hours later, Nweke said a white paper committee on the report of the panel, headed by the Minister of Education, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili, concluded work on the report, which was presented to the special session of the council.

He hinged government’s quick action on it on the need to beat the deadline given by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for political parties to submit lists of their candidates.
Speaking on the development in Abia, Chief Agbazuere disclosed that the state government derived its powers from the Panels Act of Eastern Nigeria 1958, which is applicable to Abia State and urged anybody who felt aggrieved by the actions of the state government to head to court for an interpretation of the relevant portions of the constitution.

The Abia State government had, on February 14, 2007 set-up the commission, chaired by Mazi Donatus Okorie to investigate the activities of certain individuals from 1999 till date.
While submitting the report of the commission to Governor Orji Uzor Kalu on February 20, 2007, Mazi Okorie disclosed that 38 people were sent written invitations to appear before the panel out of which seven appeared physically while one sent a lawyer to represent him.

The body’s brief was to ascertain contracts the affected individuals awarded while in office and to find out whether they followed due process and whether such contracts were executed accordingly and then recommend to the state government ways and measures of avoiding recurrence where necessary.

What a bad copy cat you are. I read this story in another forum from where she copied it from and she didn't copy it well. That's why she has not been responding, because she has ran out of idea to sustain it.

I will provide the link in a giffy.

@nightrider

Thank God the worst didn't happen. What if they had stolen your car! Or even YOU

@Silsane:

Dont waste further time googling NYSC. Just visit this link: http://enigeria.com.ng/agency.php

All Federal Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies are there. Have fun!

EFCC is acting rather late. She was supposed to have been arrested since 1999.

You may not know, her convoy is larger than that of the VP

oh!

@BigB1

The war has just begun!


We are marching to the battle front, No Retreat No Surrender!

Please understand that it is a war situation and all cannot be fair. We must take prisoners

@Ishmael

Please do not instigate anybody on this forum. This thread is about "The Fear of EFCC"

@waffistyle

We welcome you to the discussion, but I must quickly pointed out that Donald Duke is of Cross River and not Akwa Ibom.

@ olaak1

Haven't Baba moved against IBB? He started by moving against his fronts. Adenuga and his son. Just wait and see. Sebi IBB has moved from PDP to NDP. Next from NDP to JAIL

Though I am still waiting for someone to mention anyone in opposition that EFCC has sent to jail. Just one! none

@Big B1

There is no organisation in this world that is not under some form of control, even CIA, FBI, Scotland Yard, KGB or even the estwhile Gestapo!

It is no news that they been controlled by whomever, but the fact still remains that they can never visit you if your hands are clean.

It is even good that they are being remotely controlled as you alleged, because by the time OBJ takes care of his "enemies" another government will also come into power and take up OBJ's men; and thereby making the system clean.

Hear them again! "EFCC is after only OBJ's enemeis"

Are these people OBJ's enemies:

1. Sunday Afolabi
2. Tarfa Balogun
3. Adolfus Wabara
4. Fabian Osuji
5. Adamu Abudulahi
6. Peter Odili
7. Alh. Akwanga
8. Otunba Fasawe
9. Mrs Goodluck Jonathan
10. etc

@superman,

You do not need to call me names before you can make your comment

, so why must it be only people like: IBB, Atiku, Fayose, Riky Tarfa, Garba Shehu, Sani Yerima, Chimaroke Nnamani, Joshua Dariye, Orji Kalu, Tarfa Balogun, Emma Nwude, Martina Anajemba, Ade Bendle, Mike Adenuga, Muhamed Babangida etc, are the only ones propagating this saying?

Look at the list very well, don't they have something in common?

EFCC is partial and acting from a script? Can somebody tell me any credible Nigerian that has ever joined in this saying? I mean people like: Gani, Oshomole, Wole Soyinka, Falana, Chris Okotie, Olisa Agbokoba, Chinua Achebe, Emegwali, Maccido, Cardinal Okogie, Donald Duke, Archbishop Onayiko, Rev. Mathew Kuka, Gen. Buhari etc.
