SARAKI SHOULD HIRE A GOOD TEAM OF LAWYERS – PRESIDENCY

The Presidency says it has nothing to do with the corruption and false assets declaration trial of Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

It also said it would not tolerate the linking of President Buhari to the proceedings at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, stressed that Buhari would not interfere with the judicial process, stating that the Code of Conduct Bureau cannot take orders from anyone.

“As an independent institution equal to any superior court of record, the tribunal is set up by the constitution to determine the issue of default, false declaration or forgery in assets declaration.

“There is no place in law that the Bureau and the tribunal should take instructions from any quarters.”

“If anyone has an axe to grind with what they are doing, they should do it in a judicial manner by challenging those actions in a proper court of law. Let them hire a good team of lawyers to prove their innocence.

“Government has no desire to persecute anybody. The President has vowed to respect the rule of law and this is what he is doing by staying out of this matter. He has said times without number that the war against corruption has no sacred cows.

“Even if the President wants to help, there is no way he can do anything. Is he going to ask the judge to stop the trial?

“It is purely a judicial process, the type of which are routinely dealt with by the CCB and the CCT. There are many cases like this that are going on. The President has sworn to an oath to protect the constitution and will not violate that oath.”

PISSED OFF PDP COMES FOR BUHARI, APC AND LAI MOHAMMED

The Peoples Democratic Party says it wont be blackmailed nor distracted by the All Progressives Congress, from speaking the truth.

In what is arguably its most potent and objective attack-statement since it became an opposition party- the PDP described President Buhari’s administration as despotic; APC as corrupt and Lai Mohammed as ethically challenged.

Olisa Metuh’s pen has acquired more firepower… or help.
The National Publicity Secretary, released a statement on Sunday, saying:

“While we understand the nervousness of Alhaji Lai Mohammed to remain relevant, especially in the face of desperation for an appointment, this administration must come to terms with the fact that democracy requires accountability, adherence to the rule of law and constitutional order, and not the crass infractions, executive arrogance, intolerance and undermining of the legislature; the symbol of the sovereignty of the people, which we now witness under the APC.

“The question is, has the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government not exhibited all the trappings of despotism, including ruling without a constitutional component of a cabinet, persistent abuse of power, corrupting of democratic institutions, quest to appropriate the National Assembly, in spite of the principle of separation of powers; invasion of state government and personal houses, injecting confusion into the judiciary and hounding of individuals perceived to be against its interests?

“What is APC’s position regarding the anti-democratic statement by the President, who, in an interview, during the recent visit to France, expressed his reluctance to appoint ministers, in addition to his disparaging allusion to cabinet ministers as noise makers? Does this not smack of totalitarianism?

“How else can one explain the relentless interferences in the activities of the National Assembly, a separate and independent arm of government, in addition to the bitterness with which the Presidency and the APC hold the duly elected leadership of the Senate, simply because it is not occupied by their preferred candidates?

“If not for a possible ulterior motive of appropriating the federal legislature as a means to undermine its statutory role of checks and balances and set the stage for dictatorship, what other reasons could there be for the current fixation on the leadership of the Senate by the APC and the Presidency?

“Nigerians are still waiting for APC, a party which prides itself as a progressive platform, to respond to the widely condemned invasion of Akwa-Ibom state government house by the Department of State Services (DSS), under the direct instructions from the Presidency. Is it not part of the plot activated for possible forceful takeover of PDP states and impose a one-party regime in Nigeria?

“What about the July reprehensible invasion and sealing of Rivers local councils by the federal controlled Police, who also barred members of caretaker committees that were duly appointed by the state government to take charge of the councils?

“In the same vein, how else can one explain the undue interferences of the DSS in the activities of election tribunals in PDP controlled states of Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Abia, Taraba and others where electoral officers are being harassed, intimidated and detained, ostensibly to influence judgments against the PDP?

“This is not to talk about the intolerance and arrogance witnessed in the venom with which the APC attack well-meaning Nigerians, including highly revered national leaders, for daring to counsel the Federal Government on some observed undemocratic tendencies under their ‘new Sheriff’, a development which has resulted in the setting in of an environment where citizens, irrespective of political affiliations, can no longer freely express their views.

“Is the PDP therefore not justified when we described as a mockery of reasoning, President Buhari’s use choice words to condemn the coup in Burkina Faso whilst his government engages in brazen contravention of our own constitution?

“Whilst we note the failed efforts of the APC spokesman to divert attention, we invite the Presidency and the APC to be informed that their attempt to harass and/or intimidate us with plethora of well instigated, sponsored, immature and wild allegations can never deter us from remaining focused on issues.

“Nevertheless, as we restate our commitment in providing issue-based opposition as well as our support for the fight against corruption, our final word for the APC spokesman on this, is that being ethically challenged, includes embezzling funds meant for fencing of an airport in an APC-led South West states. It also includes when one fraudulently refuse to supply ambulances after collecting monies from another APC South West state.

“It is then a comedy of roles when Alhaji Lai Mohammed speaks on corruption, a topic he practices and has well learnt, being a personal aide to one of the most corrupt politicians to ever bestride the political landscape of the country.

HOW DIAMOND PLATNUMZ CASHED IN BIG TIME ON HIS BABY’S UNVEILING

East Africa’s biggest artiste, Diamond Platnumz, welcomed his first child- a baby girl, Tiffah Platnumz, exactly 40 days ago.
It was the best thing that had ever happened to him; he felt fulfilled and complete while not failing to recognise an opportunity.

While offers to sponsor the unveiling of her face came pouring in, Diamond Platnumz and girlfriend- popular Tanzanian socialite, Zarina Tlale, increased the worth of their baby and asset.
First, the singer announced that they would wait for 40 days before unveiling her face.
It was a strategic move; he’s Tanzania’s biggest musical export after all, he can pull a stunt like that.

They opened an Instagram account for little baby Tiffah. It was called Princess_tiffah, and was filled with her pictures (while managing to shield her face) as well as pictures of Mummy and Daddy.
And the beautifully designed nursery.

In no time, the Twitter handle acquired 128,000 followers, and the value of baby Tiffah skyrocketed.
40 days later and an endorsement deal done with Tanzania’s largest bank, National Microfinace Bank- it was time to finally unveil little Tiffah.
Zarina Tlale and Diamond Platnumz are reported to have pocketed about Shs50m (about N5million) from the good deal.
Nothing like this has ever happened in Tanzania, and the East African nation wouldn’t forget in a hurry.

SENATORS HOLD EMERGENCY MEETING OVER SARAKI/CODE OF CONDUCT PALAVER, VOW TO DEAL WITH CABAL

About 50 Senators cutting across different political parties in the senate, convened an emergency meeting in Abuja yesterday September 19th where they discussed the Code of Conduct Tribunal's invitation to Senate President Bukola Saraki over his alleged false declaration of assets.

Daily Trust reports that the senators at the meeting exonerated President Buhari of being behind the current crisis facing the senate President but accused "a cabal" within the presidency who they say is instigating the government institutions against Senate President Saraki.

Rising from the meeting which lasted for about 4 hours with some senators joining the meeting via telephone, the convener of the meeting, Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah said they had unanimously resolved to support the anti-corruption war of President Buhari and also to deal decisively with the cabal

“We have resolved to use all available powers under the constitution to ensure that no cabal exists and run the government on behalf of Buhari and we have also resolved to deal decisively with the cabal,” he said.

Also another senator who spoke on the condition of anonymity after the meeting said

"Our colleagues were angry at the beginning of the meeting because they were initially suspecting that the President has hand in the trial of Saraki. But after heated debate, they understood that Buhari was not responsible for it. One of our colleagues present at the meeting suggested that the Senate should reconvene on Monday [tomorrow] in order to address the challenge. His suggestion, however, did not see the light of day as we resolved to use other channels to address the challenge.”.
