The Dino Melaye led suspended members of the House of Representatives will, on Monday, November 15, 2010 know their fate as Justice Adamu Bello of a federal high court sitting in Abuja has fixed for final judgment in their joint suit challenging their suspension.

The court fixed the judgment date, on Tuesday, after counsel in the fierce legal battle had presented their cases and adopted the brief of arguments of their clients.

However, one of the suspended lawmakers, Honourable Austin Nwachukwu, on Tuesday, withdrew his case against the Speaker, Honourable Dimeji Bankole, and the House of Representative.

In withdrawing his suit, Nwachukwu told the court that his family and his constituents had directed him to terminate the case against Bankole and the House for the overall interest of peace.

Nigeria is just a funny place, where a complainant becomes the accused. Nothing is working well here. Instead of EFCC and other antigraft agencies carrying out their duties, they swept the case under the carpet. They were suspended because they complained about the ills in the house, bearing in mind that their allowances are suspended too, i pity them. They did not do their home work well anyway, they thought having the facts will make their colleagues go after Bankole, they did not know that Bankole is north adopted candidate, so can't disappoint him when he needs them most. Bearing in mind that Bankole was pro Yaradua, they thought the presidency will come to their rescue but they did not know that in politics the only constant thing is interest, Bankole is playing along with the presidency now, so he does not have problems. I pity the Dino's group cos every politician now needs a lot of money for their re-election and theirs is being stopped. That is why one of is withdrawing his case cos his family and constituents are in dire need of those allowances. We are living in a funny place indeed.

Jonathan could not unseat Bankole so they finally had to settle. Any rep that was coerced into the plot should go and settle with Bankole. It is pertinent to note that the reps who tried to oust bankole have now "withdrawn their suit in the interest of peace". In other words, they were never interested in the issues they accused Bankole of but were simply political jobbers hired to do a hatchet job. Beware these men who will sell their conscience for a slice of the National cake. Although Bankole is a thief himself, I hope God will use him as the hand of Jethro to throw the book at these unscrupulous reps. They are no different from the Ogun 9.

@Ibime
Wasn't it the same thing Bankole did to Etteh?
Criminals, all of them!

EFCC led under FARIDA WAZIRI is just a toothless bulldog as far as i am concern, what has she done with the allegations, or the speaker too is covered by immunity, she is just ineffective.
