Justice Evoh Chukwu of the Federal High Court
sitting in Abuja yesterday withdrew from a suit
instituted by a House member, Abiodun Ishaq
Akinlade, seeking to compel the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal to
vacate the speakership following his defection in
October from the PDP to the All Progressives congress (APC). The plaintiff is seeking for an order court declaring
that Tambuwal’s deputy, Emeka Ihedioha, should
take over the speakership upon the vacation of the
speaker.
The matter was consequently assigned to Justice
Chukwu.
When the matter came up yesterday, the trial
judge announced his withdrawal from the suit on
the ground that a petition has been written against
him.
Tambuwal had written a petition to the National
Judicial Council NJC dated November 30
challenging the assignment of the case to Chukwu.
He, therefore, requested the judge to disqualified
from sitting over the suit because of the likelihood
of bias that could prevent him from getting justice.
The petition reads in part, “My attention has been
drawn to the above suit, which has been assigned to
Court 8, presided over by Justice E. S.J. Chukwu,
and we wish to make the following observations:
"Sometime in 2013, the said presiding judge,
Justice E.S.J. Chukwu presided over the case of
Peoples Democratic Party and 12 ORS VS. INEC & 4
ORS, wherein he made a judicial pronouncement,
which has been interpreted by some, to the effect
that there was no division in Peoples Democratic
Party.
"The above decision of Justice Chukwu was heavily
relied upon and cited severally in the case of
Peoples Democratic Party, House of
Representatives; the speaker of the House of
Representatives & 52 ORS, suit No. FHC/ ABJ/
CS/4/2014.
"Consequently, Justice A.F.A Ademola, relying on
the said judgement of his brother Justice Chukwu,
even though the said suit before him had nothing to
do with defection, ruled that there was no division
within the Peoples Democratic Party.
"And as such, the defendants in that case, who are
members of the House of Representatives, who
have similar cases as mine, currently pending in the
Federal High Court Abuja, were not protected by
proviso to Section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution.
He rested his decision on that earlier judgement of
Justice Chukwu aforementioned.
“The said judgement of Justice A.F.A Ademola, is subject of four pending appeals at the Court of
Appeal, Abuja Judicial Division.
“My Lord, similar suits were variously instituted by
various parties and are pending before the Federal
High Court No. 7, presided over by Justice A.R
Mohammed and are at various stages of proceeding
pending before Court 7, presided over by Justice
A.R Mohammed.”
Tambuwal further stated that he did not have
confidence that Justice Chukwu will be able to
dispense justice in the case as he had earlier “made
a pronouncement on similar issues, in similar cases,
decided by him, clearly shows that he has an iron
cast judicial position or opinion in respect of suit no.
FHC/ABJ/ CS/871/2014 concerning me sir which
has just been assigned to him.”
The speaker however urged the Justice Auta to re
assign the suit to “a neutral judge who has not made
any judicial pronouncement on the issue or made
public his opinion on the issue at hand.”

Getting interesting

Tambuwal reminds me of all those STDs (scared to death) in Rikers back in 1995 when I had a propped up charge on money laundry instigated by Guillani when he was a DA.

They come all out thinking they are showing their street cred and strength but they still end up getting turned out for the destined b1tch they were.

Tambuwal is going down, one way or the other.

Simple!

The PDP biased judge has been kicked out to allow room for fair hearing. Hurray!!!

Tambuwal had written a petition to the National Judicial Council NJC dated November 30 challenging the assignment of the case to Chukwu.

He, therefore, requested the judge to disqualified from sitting over the suit because of the likelihood of bias that could prevent him from getting justice.


Tambuwal, is playing smart here, you can only be a temporary wise man... Your wisdom shall surely work against you.


How does Tambuwal determine that the Justice will denied him justice


You cannot run for your shadow, Tambuwal.

Tambuwal is still the speaker wether PDP like it or nt

I write this because of millions of Nigerians who are below 30 and who constitute a significant chunk of our voting population.

This is the ICT generation that is largely ignorant about the events of the Buhari era (1983-85) and so can be misinformed and misled by needless propaganda. I have sat with many in the under-30 bracket and those slightly above who only have faint recollections of the Buhari era and the level of ignorance about that era is amazing.

Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha. Please consider the following unassailable facts:

- He birthed and supervised the establishment of our existing refineries.

- There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State. It started under his successor IBB!

- In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military).

- JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison.

- Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn't been matched by 12 years of the PDP.

- Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time.

- Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station,much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our leaders.

- He could have retired into nauseating opulence like an IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ but didn't.

- Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out of hope and belief in his values.People who know him have said of him... "All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank".

- He is the only politician in the North today who fills rallies without renting a crowd. The Kaduna rally of 2nd March is eloquent proof.

- He refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of the same government.

- He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja.

- Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past ended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being prosecuted
for misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari again, was vindicated

- He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has till today, taken up the challenge.His personal driver of many years is a Christian from Plateau State.

- His government initiated the War Against Indiscipline that has made environmental cleanliness, queuing up, not urinating by the roadside etc features of our national life even till today Does it then surprise you why corrupt people would be spreading such heinous rumors about Buhari?

He is a threat to them and they know what he is capable of doing to corruption and corrupt people when he comes into office! So shine your eyes and make the right decision. If honesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria ,now is the time to choose right. When you cast your vote for the BUHARI, you would have cast one vote for a honest men.

Now that you know better, will you please educate another person BY FORWARDING THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN? THIS IS MORE THAN A CAMPAIGN.IT'S JUST THE TRUTH!!!
