The Injustice Danladi Umar would soon be rendered jobless by the time this bill becomes law.The useless case at the CCT is already as good as dead dear.

Mynd44:

Will also be vetoed.

Do you reallu believe Honorable Dongara is with Senator Saraki in this madness?

He is holding a meeting with V.P Osinbajo right now to see ways to include the lag-cal railway into the budget

chukwudi44:

bros park well jare.Buhari has abused his powers by using people like the injustice danladi umar and dubious portions of the CCT act to witchhunt his political opponents.He seemed to forget that in war everyone has their own weapons.The senate has just deployed theirs so quit crying

chukwudi44:
well done my brave senators!!! That amendment must be passed into law before the end of next month!!! lets speed it up and ensure it gets to the executive for assent before monday

CFCman:
The constitution bars the National Assembly from making retroactive laws (i.e. ex post facto).

Thus, even if the proposed amendment is passed by both chambers, vetoed by the president, and the NASS overrides the veto with a 2/3 majority in both houses, the law would not apply to Saraki's case because his case commenced before the enactment of the law. Also, other pending cases before the CCT won't be affected by the proposed legislation.

The proposed new law will only take effect on future cases i.e. cases commenced after the day of enactment of the amendments.

TANTUMERGO007:

by calling them criminals, you insulting the people of this nation. we voted them to lead us, we never voted for criminals change is here to stay, deal with it

amaechi1:
Some of us are celebrating this criminals who has looted this country, thinking that PMB will be a casualty. They have absolutely display their worth, not for the people but for themselves. Someone was accused of false assets declaration and embezzling the state fund. They best they can do is to change the law. How many law have they passed that will benefit the people. They woman right bill was through almost immediately.

What a shame!

AntiWailer:
A bill is useless without the signature of the President.

So they can continue to clown their lives away.


Bunch of armed robbers.

idnole4:
The president do not need to veto the bill. He only needs to keep it on the shelve where it belongs. He can just inform the press, he's studying it.

Mynd44:

It is not treason. It is comical really.

The senate has forgotten that laws are not retro-active meaning even if they get that bill signed, it does not apply to Senator Saraki's trial.

Plus the President is not going to sign, they can't get 2/3 of the HOR to effect a veto.

This is a waste of legislative hours

sanusidabo:
The gang of idiots, polish Senators, no matter what you do Saraki will go by God Grace.

Pwayne2016:
Please oo my Senators lets pass Bubu matter for law ooo

he should be be banned from Travelling for de rest of diz year

Also put into law that a President should only travel 10 times in a Year

kropotkin2:
Buhari and Tinubu must do everything in their power to make sure this bill is shot down in the house of representatives. We cannot condone the alteration on existing law to suit the whims of a corrupt public official, because it has very grave implications for the future. I hope the forces of good in both the senate and house muster enough courage to uphold the president's expected veto. By the way it takes 2/3rds of the 109 senators to override a presidential veto. That means saraki and his criminal gang of senators need at least 73 votes (assuming all 109 senators attend plenary on the day the vote is taken), while in the house of representatives it will also take 2/3rd of the 360 representatives, making the number required for an override to be 240(assuming also all members are in attendance). I doubt if saraki can muscle up that number. But if he eventually does then id say we just make the crook our president.

CFCman:


Your statement isn't quite accurate.

A vetoed bill requires the vote of a 2/3 majority of members of both the Senate and House of Reps to become law. Judging by recent developments, it looks like Saraki will garner the required number of votes in the Senate. Not too sure about the HOR.

PentiumPro:
APC in government
PDP in power.
Buhari messed up with his ideology of I'm for everybody and not for anybody. This embolden Saraki to carry out the coup against APC and Buhari stand on non-interference in how NASS leadership emerged.
He is paying the price.

maupe:

That is where you are completely wrong. Saraki will get the 2/3rd majority needed to pass this into law. The Senate knows that if the President and the Lagos leader have their way now, nothing will stop them from trying it again. The Lawan group may not like Saraki, but they know that they don't have the clean slate to cast a stone at Saraki, and live to tell the tale

JuanDeDios:

Why do you support crooks and conspiracies against Nigeria?

Mynd44:

He might get 2/3 in the senate. He cant get half from the HOR. Not with Gbajabiamila as Majority Leader there

Mynd44:

He might get 2/3 f the senate. He will need 2/3 of the HOR. Goodluck with that with Hon. Gbajabiamila as majority leader
