Senator Ovie Omo-Agege
 
A Federal High Court in Abuja has declared the suspension of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege for 90 days illegal.

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba who precised over the case ordered an immediate re-instatement of the Senator to his position in the National assembly.

The judge, in a judgment delivered on Thursday, held that though the legislature has the power to deal with erring members, it did not follow due process in arriving at its decision.

Justice Dimgba nullified the suspension after stating that the reason given for the suspension of Omo-Agege by the Ethics and Privileges Committee was a fundamental breach of the Constitution.

He ordered the Senate to pay Omo-Agege all his salaries and allowances.

The judiciary did a good job on this judgment.

hmm. the way bukola is running the 8th assembly is like a dictator.if Bukola is opportuned to be president of nigeria, that is when people will realise Buhari govt is far better. like people don't know saraki at all.

Lady/guy....Please don't say that again. Even a meat seller or Carpenter is far better than Buhari. Don't even mention that name again, ever on this forum.

divicoded:
Another bad news for the fflatties

hmmm

hush15:


True, a prefect may not suspend his or fellow student, but you agree that he can still punish his fellow students.


Lets see how it all plays out

He can punish but not by denying him of attending classes. Even the senate law created by themselves does not stipulate that a senator should be suspended by 80/ 90 days.

maestroferddi:
Stop making wild speculations..

The Senate is not peopled by toddlers or superficial thinkers like you.

An appeal must have been lodged immediately and the position of the law is that all parties maintain the status quo ante.

The Senate cannot sit without the principal officers meaning that if Saraki, Ekweremadu and others seem the ex parts order/ruling prejudicial to their position/interest, they will delay sitting until a countermanding ruling/order has been obtained to neutralize the earlier injunction.

Don't remain a learner...Actor no dey die...

This is why I hardly engage people like you on Nairaland. So because of their selfish interest, they should delay sitting. No wonder they have also been delaying our budget close to 6 months now. Enemy of the state.
Your submission above is full of contradiction, simply because you did not hear the pronouncement of the first judgement. The Judge said Omo Agege should be admitted into the upper chamber with immediate effect and all his benefits should be paid. As of this morning, has there other court pronouncement against the one above or you are just writing your base on your elementary assumption? To your like mind , it's Saraki and Ekwuremadu that will automatically give a stay of execution in the senate without lodging an appeal? An to put insult to your injury, in a case like this, you can only apeal the first judgement not stay of execution simply because it is not an electoral matter where you buy time through stay of execution.

Afamed:

Which case again as of today? Has Saraki appealed the Judgement?

Yes Senate has already appealed the fake judgement.

My annoyance in this matter is mostly against the deputy senate president Ike Ekweremadu. This is the man who at any slightest issue reminds the world that he is a lawyer and has all the law dictionary in his head. But When It comes to applications you see him keep quiet and watch the twisting and barstadadisation of the same law right in his presence. I learnt they have appealed the judgement. And I ask, wount Nigerians suspend all of them for going to court since the reason they gave for suspending Omo Agege was that he went to court.

why won't I? is because total power has not been given to him made you not to seeing the other side of him. Buhari is better compare to saraki.

fortune1968:
you will say that .why then is jona and patience not in prison now for stealing so much ?

Again i agree that he cant deny his colleague class but he can make him irrelevant in the committee of colleague...

Its the Legal and Legislative tussle...

Unfortunately the same fake judgment will be delivered second time again but by third time at the supreme court it might be too late for you.

Honouring you with a response is just pointless.

Despite the sounds and fury you were making, you succeeded in saying nothing.

Buhari and APC sponsored thugs to invade the Senate and steal the mace... What have undesirable elements like you said about it other than trying to mount right rightness on the superstructure of impunity, propaganda and sheer mischief.

Don't just get me started ...

And what has your honour added to me? The headline is all about illegality perpetrated by Saraki and co by suspending Omo Agege for airing his opinion about Election re ordering. Face the headline and stop jumping from pillar to post. If Omo Agege had not been illegally suspended perhaps there wouldn't have been any sort of illegal invasion. You can't talk of invasion in isolation of illegal suspension.

And what value has your honour added to me? The headline remains illegality perpetrated by Saraki and co by suspending Omo Agege for airing his opinion on Election re ordering. Adress the issue and stop jumping from pillar to post. If there had not be illegal suspension definitely there wouldn't have been any illegal invasion into the senate.

Please switch on your brain...

The rogue senator got suspended by flouting the code of conduct of guiding all senators which he acquesed to/counter-signed before joining the Senate.

Appreciate sanctions were meted out to him and the lawless Buhari government backed his invasion of the Senate chambers with thugs and you are here talking nonsense.

In sane climes, that singular act of bringing the hallowed chambers to disrepute and contempt is more than enough for banning him from the parliament/being a legislator for life.

If you have lost your memory or you are being clever by half.No one has lost memory his memory like you here. Under your saint hero, just few years ago.

1. Where were the common sense Senator and the wailers when Senate invited Deziani over N10B for chartering of private jet and Jonathan openly ask her not to honour the invitation?

2. Then President Jonathan sacked the President of the Appeal court because he refused to compromise on the case involving the ruling party and ruling that forensic examination be allowed on materials used for the 2011 Presidential election. Even when the NJC asked that he be reinstated, Jonathan refused yet, he is your HERO OF DEMOCRACY.

3. Why didn't we hear noise calling Jonathan a dictator when house of Rep was locked up in the bid to impeached Tambuwal and we saw Rep members flying over fence and gates with some even tear gassed by the Jonathan police?

4. All the security details attached to then Speaker of House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal were withdrawn by the Federal Government led by Jonathan yet, you still didn't see any reason not to worship him.

5. Bode George was tried in the law court and he was jailed for two years and served the term. Saint Jonathan came and asked the court to reversed that judgement that later said Bode George wasn't guilty as charged and he became an innocent and not ex convict but till date Bode never sued for damages.

6. For weeks in 2014, the Governor of Kano State kept shouting that security aides posted to watch over the state house were recalled as a result of orders from above, not once did you accuse Jonathan of tyranny.

7. For appointing Sanusi Lamido as Emir of Kano which was within the rights and powers of the Kano State Government, Jonathan ordered security agents to lay siege at the Emir's palace. For days, the Emir operated from the Kano State Government House. You didn't call Jonathan by the dictatorship that he was acting out then.

8. For the first and only time in the history of Nigeria we had a first lady that also picked up position as the perm sec in the president state without working to attained such position. What did the wailers do?

9. Jonathan withdrew the security details attached to then Governor Amaechi, Jonathan grounded the plane of Amaechi, Jonathan masterminded and hugely supported the division and crisis in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Jonathan allowed his wife to govern Rivers from Abuja, Jonathan used Mbu to embarrass and harass a sitting Governor, Jonathan crippled Rivers because Amaechi was the Governor yet, you still see Jonathan as a demigod.

10. In this same country, we saw how Jonathan supported the destruction of the once vibrant Governors' Forum by supporting 16 against 19 yet, you see him as one decent man who should be seen as a Hero.

11. We have not forgotten how Jonathan used state power to prevent sitting Governors from reaching a part of the country to support the re-election of one of their own because they were in the opposition and you who is laying claim to fairness and pretending to love Democracy still claim you miss this same character.

12. It was in this country under Jonathan the saint that we saw for the first time the military ambushed daily news papers distributions. They were seized and destroyed without explanations. Yet Jonathan wasn't tagged a tyrant

13. In this same country, we saw the circulation of an undisputed video by an army officer detailing how soldiers were used to rig the election in Ekiti State to favour the thug governing the state today and yet, you see same Jonathan who was Commander in Chief of all these barbarism as decent enough to be called a hero.

14. In his desperation to see the Governor Nyako impeached, The Presidency under Jonathan had the accounts of Adamawa State frozen. A State Government account oh and not personal account of the Governor and not once did you condemn the action nor call Jonathan the dictator he clearly was


15 For the first time in our history as a country, the CBN Governor was unilaterally sacked by the President without following the due process of our law because he asked questions " No wonder stealing was not corruption during your hero time. Nigeria shall not be the same again. We have left the PDP era where 16 was greater than 19.
