podosci: These Senators bring shame to Nigeria! It is NOT about whether the allegation has been proved in court or not. The principle is that "We elect Senators to represent our interest". In a "Ministerial confirmation Scenario", 2/3rds of Senators have to approve someone, to be confirmed as Minister. That is the ONLY LEGITIMATE CONDITION for CONFIRMATION When Obanikoro's nomination was rejected the first time, Senate president, David mark who himself is very Anti-Democracy, right form past, staged a coup within the Chambers of the Senate! David Mark simply changed the rules by "asking senators to vote on whether Obanikoro should be accorded "Waka Pass" or Not! So, from being refused confirmation, David MArk changed it to "Waka Pass"... a scenario which other Senators rejected and protested against. In his air of undemocratic impunity, which is the hallmark of the GEJ/PDP administration, David Mark simply approved Obanikoro by himself... without the requisite 2/3rds majority! As it stands today, Obanikoro is NOT CONFIRMED by the Nigerian Senate as Minister of State for Defense. He is an impostor to that office and when the time is ripe, he would be jailed for such acts. Senator David Mark should also be impeached (and then prosecuted) because his acts are treasonable. Lastpage! 1 Like 2 Shares |

IF GEJ HAS SAID THE EKITI SAGA CAN NOT BE INVESTIGATE BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR CAPTAIN KOLI WHO HAS ALREADY RELEASED THE DISGRACEFUL AND EVIL PERPETRATED BY PDP. THEN WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM SENATORS WHO ALSO EAT FROM PRESIDENT TABLE. PDP RIGGING FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL. THEY CAN NOT WIN FREE, FAIR AND CREDIBLE ELECTION. 1 Like

Whynotthetruth: And what is the "point or benefit" of this knowledge..... when it is NOT put to any good use? Did they stop him from going or juts looked-on? Should he not have been under 24hrs watch and 'locked down' if he attempts to travel? When he returns in future, do you know how many lives will be terminated.... by just this one act of ineptitude? Whynotthetruth: A lot of Nigerians like you may mean well for this country but you are too myopic and maybe ignorant, to see the "Big Picture". No one is saying Obanikoro should not be confirmed because he has a case in court. That is NOT the issue or Process of confirmation. Read my earlier post, if you will. Confirmation is vested in the hands of our representatives (Senators) based on two-thirds simple majority. Even if he is a convicted criminal like Bode Geroge, he can still be confirmed, as long as he can get 2/3 of Senators to support his confirmation. Period. This did not happen in the case of Obanikoro. David Mark, the Senate President, SUBVERTED THE PROCESS of CONFIRMATION by asking Senators to vote on "bow and walk", otherwise known as "Waka-Pass" Confirmation! David Mark did not ask Senators in support of confirmation to raise their hands.... so he can see if they are in the majority, to the point of two-thirds! Instead of that, he said Obanikoro should just "take a bow"? This is what angered the APC and other Senators in the house. (Subversion of the Process of conformation) and they walked out since David Mark will not listen to reason. Can you Ever see such thing happening in the America Senate or British Parliament? We dont have a Democracy in this country. Our Judiciary is also under the influence and pressure of the Presidency otherwise, a court would simply rule that confirmation as ILLEGAL. When we have people like David Mark still running around as Democrats simply because he wears Agabda. , we are still a long way off. Lastpage! |

disloman:if APC are not satisfied,they should take it to supreme court,since they were the one that release the tape ,let them come out with the eye witness. They think everyone in Nigeria is as deluded as APC fans who tend to believe any rubbish their leaders spit out ? Nonsense. |

Is there no level to which we cannot sink as a country. Abaribe and senate should know that it is not about guilt, it is about morals. In the midst of humans with their sensibilities intact, should Jonathan have presented Obanikoro as candidate? But if he can still retain Moro as minister why should anyone be suprised. The appointment takes from Jonathan than it adds to him. See, the truth is the Yorubas still have a sense of repulsion bordering on self righteousness (however unfounded). Or how many tribes have provision for compelling a king to commit suicide (si igba) for acts considered as abomination. So with the bunch he has decided to back in the south west, likes of Kashamu, Fayose, Omisore, Obanikoro, Femi Fani Kayode, let's wait and see how far they will take him. He should go and ask the Akintolas, Fani-Kayode, Osuntokuns. Meanwhile, many of those supporting Obanikoro are not even Yoruba so they don't understand what's going down. 2 Likes |

Dee60: GBAM! That is the "double-speak" of these PD-Pigs! When it suits them, they are for "rule of law", .... when it does not, they are for "impunity". Well, if Nigerians decide to retain GEJ for another four years, l will give them a standing ovation becaus it seems suffering is their lot in life.

So it's an allegation...one that threatens the very existence of Nigeria's democracy. A sane senate will pend Obanikoro's ministerial confirmation until investigations are conducted and conclusively closed. Nothing like that in Nigeria...bunch of agbaya threatening other senators with EFCC cases...lol. What a huge joke. |

lastpage: My bros; you are 200% wrong and ignorant of due process and house rules...Our constitution is SUPREME... On Uwais son; maybe intelligence report gave him out based on that they saw his contact as last dialled number in Muttalab phone...So is it enough reason to arrest him...NO...but they invited him still for interrogation but people including CSO remember case of Ogwuche protested and he was left due to lack of strong evidence...He was placed under surveillance but he was only doing legitimate business within then...they relaxed and moved to other issues and he absconded...Let's criticize with some insight plz... On Obanikoro; house rules says that former senators should be granted the privilege of just taking a bow...All other ministerial nominees who were former senators took a bow...So why should Obanikoro case be different....HOUSE RULES SHOULD NOT BE ABUSED BY APC BECAUSE IT DIDN'T FAVOUR THEM... BTW Bode George is not an ex-convict plz...There's supreme court judgement in his favour... Judiciary under Jonathan has improved...
