i beg for my ignorance. where is tinubu? was he retained or released?

volasunkan:

if this is the best fault or legal malfeasance they can throw up against Tinubu,then it is a verdict that much of the silly dem-say,dem-say gilberish against tinubu as being corrupt cant stand close scrutiny!They could not even find ONE SINGLE CASE OF LOOTING OR FINANCIAL CORRUPTION (a la igbinedion,alams,ladoja,gbenga daniel,saminu turaki  et al)AGAINST THIS MAN FOR 8 YRS HE WAS IN THE SADDLE IN LAGOS IS A CLEAR PROOF THAT TINUBU IS CLEAN!The people fighting tinubu have all it takes to find a greater case against him if he has his hands soiled!

dem go fail,gboin,gboin loke,TINUBU ni oko iya won!

Abeg no give Tinubu tea oh!God bless and protect my Tinubu!

That is the point. Running an account he opened when a student is the best they can Get.

Verdict. Tinubu is clean.

Warning. Those trying to humiliate the best of the Yorubas should
be careful and learn from History.

This was how they started the infamous treason felony of Awolowo. The result we all know.

They have started the same shenanigan against the new Awo. They should be careful.

Like Tatalo Alamu of The Nation said, We have been here before.

They should  ahead and try all government officials because they are all guilty of the same offence.

For Tinubu, No shaking.

Eko Ile:


Was he ever arrested to start with?

akings100:

[b]PDP is not a fool for jailing Bode George, [/b]Tinubu, if found guilty should also be jailed. He has milked Lagos dry with vast investment in TV, Airlines, Hospitality, Printing Press and all is family members appointment holders.

Demdem:

Are u sure PDP did that to their own? check your facts well

Demdem:

Believe me, if Tinubu comes out of this (i know he will), he will definately be more famous and attractive all to the early death of PDP no doubt.

If Tinubu did that to BG don't you think its pay back time for Tinubu from PDP.

The law did that to BG. He was found guilty and thrown to jail. He appealed but yet failed.
If Tinubu also is found wanting within the law, he too also should face the music alongside his fellow governors that were in power with him:

Tinubu’s present travail is traced allegations made by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) on October 17, 2007. The bureau had listed him among 15 former governors that breached its code on asset declaration.
The other former governors are Dr. Sam Egwu (Ebonyi State), Chief Achike Udenwa (Imo), Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu), Ahmed Makarfi (Kaduna) Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto), Adamu Aliero (Kebbi), Gbenga Daniel (Ogun), Olagunsoye Oyinlola (Osun), Boni Haruna (Adamawa), Ayo Fayose (Ekiti), Lucky Igbinedion (Edo), and James Ibori (Delta).


This will make PDP more resolved to see him go down.

PDP resolved   then this suggests to me that its politically motivated then. Hovever dont rejoice yet, the earlier 10 counts have been reduced to 3. i dont think tinubu will go down with this case. probably another future case but not this.

olabukola:

@Demdem
Did you remeber the name James Ibori? Its one after the other. I will be the most happiest person on earth if all of them go the same root. They have caused more pain to every Nigeria in recent years more than anything i can think of.

Please dont bring the case of James Ibori here at all. Its a shame to the judiciary. A Nigerian court has already declared him innocent of all charges and it seems to be threatening even the case in UK. Thank God for the UK judiciary. By Gods grace justice will be done. GEJ/FG has nothing to celebrate about that. Just to arrest him was even a problem. the govt failed miserably in that regard.

Are u in all honesty think that BAT is clean even if he bribed his way out of this case. If we can't bring all these men to justice how do you think Nigeria will move forward. Sometimes i laugh when people shout of revolution revolution, who will lead the revolution and toward which direction. Most of us are talking of political pesecution cos BAT is from our side of the divide but will shout crucify him crucify him when the person at the receivin end is from North or East. The same thing happens when with people from East and North as well.

read my posts again. If Tinubu is found guilty, then he SHOULD FACE THE MUSIC. however, based on recent developments and available facts i think this is a mere distraction. Even if Tinubu has bees destined to go to jail becos of his alleged dubious past, there is nothing i can do about that but this case as it is right now doesnt look like the case that will send him to that jail

Tippy Top:

I believe the picture with him at CCB was photoshopped. He was never arrested, he missed his way and ended up at the CCB.

Justice Umar praised the leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) for his exemplary conduct, which he advised Nigerians to emulate.
“That is evidence of respect for the rule of law. Service requires to be personal. Out of respect, he chose to come; that is good enough. We want Nigerians to take a cue from that,” Justice Umar said.

Tinubu was at the Tribunal 30 minutes before the sitting began.


http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/20448-tinubu%E2%80%99s-trial%3A-court-stops-reading-of-new-charges.html

Also yesterday, Tinubu described his case as political persecution and challenged the complainants to bring their proof, if they had any against him.

Addressing reporters after the sitting, Tinubu said: “I believe in the rule of law and constitutional democracy and the respect for the judiciary, believing equally that those who allege must prove beyond reasonable doubt.  The substance of the case, I don’t even know.

“They said I operated foreign accounts; they have not shown me statements of account, they are yet to provide information, even though under the Freedom of Information Act they are expected to do that; they have not provided me the amount; is it from the state money? Is it from Lagos State or from my almajiri exercise or efforts? They have not shown me.

“Suddenly, they pounced on me with a new charge; amended charge this morning in the court premises. That one, I have not seen at all. I don’t know what the charge is. Anybody who knows me knows that I maintain an open-door policy. My address is known throughout this country. They gave excuses there again that they had to drop the summons in my office because they couldn’t locate me. That, I believe is a fabrication.

“The question is, this is all politics.com.  Nigeria is facing a very crucial challenge in our democratic dispensation; in our institutional building. The focus of service and development to this country is very crucial at this hour. I think we should wait for them to see and prove whatever they have, but, to me clearly, we should concentrate on the security, the welfare and developmental requirement of our nation.”

As he walked to the BWW Sport Utility Vehicle in which he rode out of the court premises, Tinubu’s supporters chanted: “On your mandate we shall stand, on your mandate we shall stand, on your mandate, on your mandate, on your mandate we shall stand!”

Big B1:

You haven't seen nothing yet.
A fight with PDP is also a fight with the president.
In Nigeria, president will always win any political battle regardless of your position or circumstance. It is a written and common protocol not to ever have a fight with the president.

I predict that Tinuba will leave the country very soon. The mess he has found himself lately will never end. The strategy that is in place is not only to weaken his power, but also to pulverize his spirit in every way. Pretty soon[b] enemies from his own party (ACN)[/b] will start to emerge one by one to indirectly speed up the process PDP has put in place. MARK IT DOWN
I honestly think Tinubu himself also clearly recognizes his circumstance. It is a matter of time for him to escape disappear for some time.

You can stop the rain for some time, but not forever.

My friend, power is transient . Take that to the bank !!!! Who is alive today between Yar Adua and Ribadu even as things looked very bleak for the former EFCC boss at one stage under a vengeful President determined to destroy him? GEJ is a poor politician backed by vengeful old Dinosaurs who only understand 'garrison commander' politics. I personally will not put any money on GEJ.

Big B1:

Oga, this is nothing but a story by/of a hopeless well wisher you have just vomited.
The way things work in Nigeria is what I have presented. You do not have to take my words, just let's allow time to tell.
I'm sure that at this point, Tinubu himself knows that caution has to be taken.

@GBAWE:
If it is true that PDP is behind Tinubu current situation. Pretty soon enemies from his own party (ACN) will start to emerge one by one to indirectly speed up the process PDP has put in place.
Political corruption in Nigeria is a buffet, and the president still has the upper bunk.
If Tinubu is not careful, this is his permanent down fall.

This is Nigeria.

Meanwhile, the Lagos ACN has condemned the intimidation, harassment and humiliation meted to its members and sympathisers travelling to Abuja to witness the trial of Tinubu by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB). In a statement signed by the chapter’s spokesman, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, the party “says the action of the overzealous security agents working in tandem with PDP to rubbish and humble the opposition is not acceptable in a democracy. What is wrong is wrong and what is right is right.
“We note that the sad incident, which took place in Lokoja is reminding us what transpired in Nigeria in the days of IBB and Abacha which political commentators christened the days of the locusts.”

The party said, “it pains us to the marrows that the PDP-controlled security agents are still applying 19th Century solutions to the 21st Century problems. This is primitive, retrogressive and barbaric.
“Freedom of the press, speech and expression are guaranteed in any known democratic nation and Nigeria is no exception. What we expected from the country’s security agents in Abuja is to remain impartial and to provide security by making sure that nobody causes a breach of the peace. PDP does not own the security agencies in Nigeria. 150 million Nigerians, including ACN, own them.

“We insist that the trial of our national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, five years after he left office, is politically motivated. The Federal Government-controlled PDP has not forgiven the Servant Leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu for causing the political earthquake in the South-west and beyond in the 2011 general elections.“Those who lost power in Edo, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun via the election tribunals and those who lost power in Ogun and Oyo states via the ballot boxes in 2011 are still crying, rolling on the ground and pleading with President Jonathan to do something about Bola Ahmed Tinubu, otherwise, they will go into political oblivion.

“The party warns that PDP is travelling on the road that is familiar to us and we will not be intimidated. George Orwell reminds us that the political language from conservatives to anarchists is designed to make lies sound truthful, murder respectable and give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. We advise PDP and the nation’s security agents to learn from historym,” the party noted.

If it is true that PDP is behind Tinubu current situation. Pretty soon enemies from his own party (ACN) will start to emerge one by one to indirectly speed up the process PDP has put in place.

Big B1:

This is just the beginning. PDP has too much to sabotage this man. Just let's wait and see.
Please keep in mind that I'm not on PDP side, I think these fools are all the same. I'm just presenting how things are down in Nigeria when it's time to pull you down.

I share the same conclusion with you. In fact, the goal is not to get rid of Tinubu, but to simply slow him down by clipping his wings. When this happens, Fashola will govern Lagos state a bit more effectively and other knowledgeable/ educated Nigerians within ACN party will have a chance to voice their opinion without being intimidated.
I think pretty soon, Tinubu's struggle will move away from PDP and reside within ACN party.
Something is also certain, Tinubu's family members will mostly not openly contest for any position during the next election; I think he has learned his lesson.
