Expected.
In politics, you make friends (who are enemies) and not enemies (who were friends).
From the onset, the probe was to make Saraki be at the mercy of the presidency...
He will owe his party and the presidency forever.
A selected honesty towards an enemy is a reminder of his position as a privileged slave.
You might not understand...but removing Saraki will create a strong opposition against the presidency, and will eventually bring down the house.
But waving his file in his hand is like taming the dog...he will sit immediately.
That's the law of power...

There are many ways to put a bell on a cat.

Saraki has clearly gotten the message, and is now falling in line. All of sudden his spokesman Dino is ready to negotiate the Senate rule on senatorial backing for proposed ministers, and all that arrogant posturing pre-CCT is now deflated.

While an obedient Saraki is more valuable than a wounded Saraki, the man must fully account for his fraudulent asset declaration among other allegations in our national interest; this is not about wailers or masturbators.

Sound analysis but still don't like the move...

Like I said...

OKKO:
Yes that is the game! Politics: the chess masters exchanging ponds. It is now clear to me that Seraki will loose after all. This is a tug of war between Buhari and Tinubu, both men will laugh and dinner together at last while Seraki will cry a river ( he may even end up in jail).

This man has too many sins that even a child can pull him down in an unbiased legal battle.

Who said Buhari is not corrupt (or put in light terms, corruption is fighting back). He (PMB) has struck a deal to push all PMB's corrupt, dubious and accused "noise makers" (e.g. Amechi, Fashola etc) through senate screening today in return to get all his criminal cases trashed by Buhari led FG. Remember PMB did similar thing in former Bayelsa Govn. Sylva cases of corruption. Both Sylva and Audu are flag bearer for Bayelsa and Kogi gubernatorial elections currently.

Tinubu in the other hand has lost out on who becomes Senate president and Ministers especially is his own SW (he never wanted Fashola and co for reasons best known to him). He decided to keep on kicking Seraki to know if he can be removed or better if he can block some of the nominees through the instrument of the Senate...on the other hand PMB don't want the embarrassment the later will cause to his government, so he is currently having nocturnal meetings bargaining unbehalf of his corrupt noise makers and as such shielding the CORUPT Seraki from his own crimes. Unfortunately, by yesterday senate has turn upside down every possible rule that will disqualify those targeted Ministers.
1) Revoked take a bow and go for ex lawmakers ( including former counselors, lol)
2) Two senator from your state to confirm you is no longer sacrosanct
3) Senate committee set aside Amechi's allegations etc

For Seraki I think he will be used as a sacrificial lamb later to settle with Tinubu and other APC leaders.

*** Remember this is one of the things that pulled down GEJ, his election financiers (Stella Odua, Deziane Allison. and some oil barrons). He treated them with kid gloves yet he wanted to close their shops by removing oil subsidy and cleaning NNPC, they fought back and continued fighting till the end. After sacking Odua, APC and the media descended heavily on Deziane but GEJ said "I can't remove all my cabinet members, even Jesus had a Judas". Buhari is tolling such path sooner or later

Saraki's ambition to him supercedes national interest..

Don't trust him & in extension Atiku with his no electoral value having self...

I love that comment.

CHADASHU:
Am I the only one seeing that the dated message is 2012, and they kept referring to a substantive male AGF when infact we do not have one right now in 2015??

The Op is just messing with y'all, or just one of those folks with very twisted imagination

jlinkd78:
ppl just comment without observing this 'sauce' is suspicious. Meanwhile d entire body of d write up appears all this took place likely in GEJ tenure long before d new govt .

Initially, the Office of the IG had approached a Federal High Court in Abuja on April 26, 2012
to press charges against the former governor for conspiracy, forgery and stealing after
claiming to have initiated a comprehensive investigation into a petition sent to it by Joy
Petroleum that it was being denied access by the bank following the illegal change of
signatory to the account by unknown persons.

***

In the new letter, which Vanguard obtained last night, the AGF in insisting that his office
needed to carry out further review of the case file before any further action is taken on the
matter.

Indications emerged, yesterday, that the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and
that of the Inspector General of Police might have disagreed on what to do with former
Kwara Governor, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on his alleged use of fronts to withdraw the sum of N6
billion from the accounts of a company, Joy Petroleum, domiciled in Intercontinental Bank,
now Access.
Initially, the Office of the IG had approached a Federal High Court in Abuja on April 26, 2012
to press charges against the former governor for conspiracy, forgery and stealing after
claiming to have initiated a comprehensive investigation into a petition sent to it by Joy
Petroleum that it was being denied access by the bank following the illegal change of
signatory to the account by unknown persons.
But in a legal advice to the IG on the move to prosecute
Saraki and others named by the petitioner, the Attorney
General advised against taking any action against Saraki
and his aides over the bank issue, since from the records
available to his office, the former governor had not
committed any offence to warrant such trial.
In the legal document, which Vanguard sighted last night,
dated 9thOctober 2012, with reference Number DPP/ADV:
061/12, and signed by the Director of Public Prosecutions
of the Federation, Mrs. O.O. Fatunde, the AGF Office, noted
that it would be improper to hold Saraki liable for the
internal actions of the then Intercontinental Bank.
The AGF Office said: “It would therefore be improper and
unjust in the circumstance to hold Dr. Saraki , Mr.
Pinheiro or indeed the companies criminally liable for the
internal actions and decisions of the bank and its officials bordering on exercise of
discretion.
“Every customer of a bank (corporate or individual) has the right to apply for a loan on the
most favourable terms possible. This alone does not constitute any offence under any law
because it is within the discretion of the bank to grant or refuse such loan application.
“Dr. Saraki and Pinheiro are alleged to be connected with the grant of the loans as promoter
and director respectively of the companies. By virtue of Section 18 of the Act, a director or
any other partner or officer of a company can only be held responsible in that capacity for
the actions of the company if the company is guilty of an offence under the Act.
“Since the company in this case cannot be held to have committed any offence under Section
15( 1) (a), it follows that Dr. Saraki and Mr. Pinheiro cannot also be held criminally
responsible only on account of having acted as promoter and director of the companies in
connection with the said loan,” the DPP advised.
However in a new twist that is likely to upturn the whole investigation and pave the way for
the prosecution of the former governor, the Attorney General has written a different letter to
the IG to hand over the case file to him for further action.
In the new letter, which Vanguard obtained last night, the AGF in insisting that his office
needed to carry out further review of the case file before any further action is taken on the
matter.
In a memo with reference No. DPP/ADV: 061/12/91 and addressed to the Inspector General
of Police with particular attention to the Commissioner of Police Special Fraud Unit, and
signed by Haruna Isa Alabi, Deputy Director of Public Prosecution, the AGF said his office
wanted the case file to be able to ascertain whether the evidence presented against Saraki
and others was borne out of mere suspicion or was capable of sustaining a conviction before
trial.
Saraki has said that there was no infraction of any law in the matter, which his companies
obtained loans and paid back to the banks through agreed terms of settlement.
But the former IG, Mohammed Abubakar, who initiated the trial of Saraki, had alleged among
other things that the former governor made the bank to lose funds by using his fronts while
serving as governor to engage in money laundering.
