Spot on! If we go by the analogy of the APC reps,people like Saraki,Remi Tinubu and the likes,shouldn't be in the senate. However,should Obanikoro be found guilty of the accusations against him,it's only logical and ethical that he faces the music. But where a court of law hasn't pronounced him guilty,He should be accorded the rights he deserves as a former minister. Afterall,it is public knowledge that Tinubu is a criminal but if you ask APC folks,they'd ask you which court of law promounced him as one. So whatever is good for the goose,is good for the gander.
my bros u much....APC supporters choose 2 abide by d law wen it suits dem....wen its PDP,dey quote d law but wen its APC dey ask 4 proof....hypocrisy and double standards!!!

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!

You just lied.

He was actually confirmed with a superior voice votes exceeding 2/3 going by their responses.

The only things APC Senators complained about were the allegations and the misuse of majority vote by PDP and other parties sympathetic to PDP that suppressed them for being minority.

APC Senators were on their own as the other minority parties weren't on board with their protest making the show a disrespect for the rule of law and democracy.

Rule of law must prevail thanks to Nigeria Senate for upholding dis. I wonder hw people react to issues,media and court are 2 distinct places. If Obanikoro had issues wit U or ur party learn to go to court blabbing on media is not enough.

Lesson for future.should ur party loss forth coming elections learn to go to court instead of blabbing on media and using innocent youth to cause mayhem.

Truth is that MOST Nigerians don't understand the workings of constitutional democracy; separation of powers and/or independence of different arms of government...maybe as a result military hangover mentality...

I see. In your wisdom, it's alright for the president to embrace controversy and foist a probable criminal on the Nigerian state because of constitutional democracy? There's verifiable evidence linking Obanikoro to election fraud, and if GEJ was sensible, he'd order an investigation FIRST. Does it not worry you that our president has a thing for fraudsters, convicts and criminals in his cabinet?

Apc itself abuses everything democracy holds. I have respect for them in their individual state affairs but truth is, they are not matured for politics on the federal level yet. GEJ is a body of shock abssover while apc as a whole are just sick crying babies.

I take it from the above that it's PDP that plays by the rules of democracy abi? A party that failed to even hold a semblance of primaries and is instead awarding nomination tickets to its cronies.
What is a shock abssover? grin grin Some analogy there... grin

Obanikoro commited a criminal offence and its the duty of the police to investigate and charge him to court, of Corse we all know the president is not going to give is go ahead on the investigation of Obanikoro
This is not a civil case, This is a criminal case and there for requires the police to charge him to court

First...be sure that I go with individuals not party...But if I must support a party, then I will go with PDP because they seem to accept the crudity of politicians and their corruptibility while APC claim to be saints which is the height of insincerity and deceit...

My advise to you in that post is the ONLY solution and not typing away energy and speaking grammar here...

Ekiti tape didn't plan any rigging if you listened to it; rather they wanted to stop APC thugs from operating by using military to block movements around and also, to stop money released in the government house by Fayemi from getting to the polling stations by blocking targeted politicians from free movement...

Do you see any possibility of PDP rigging election against Fayemi even in his own local government where he lost too

Truth is that if that election is conducted again... Fayose will win Fayemi convincingly again notwithstanding the hate speeches of indigenes like femi falana & co against fayose...

finally, APC and PDP rig elections always...but PDP respect themselves when they are outsmarted by APC but APC cries and insults everybody if PDP outsmarts them...

How can election be ONLY free and fair and a reflection of masses mandate, if only APC wins otherwise PDP or APGA or Labour party will be accused by them of rigging... what hypocrisy, blackmail, and sabotage is that...I hate hypocrites!!!
bro no mind dat guy jare....he is just like buhari and oda APC members who cry foul once it doesn't go deir way.

...he didn't ask dat investigations b made against tinubu or buhari or oda APC warlords....he didn't ask 4 investigations 2 b made again former bayelsa gov timipre sylva who embezzled state funds in bayelsa and emptied d state account....d same man is talking about taking away corruption from 9ja..

..if 80% of dose in APC were in pdp,imagine wat will happen wen buhari gets elected...am just trying 2 get over deir ill-conceived plan 2 give 5k 2 each youth every month...a business man who attended buhari's baseless economic policy said if deir plan goes tru,9ja in 4yrs will spend 56trillion naira..Dats like 50 times our budget 4 a year..wat a waste...no wonder he doesn't want a debate...smh

The reason why APC keeping shouting of Rigging if they lose election is because the ruling party are the ones who appoint people who conducts the election...You can imagine playing a match between U and Me and ur brother being the official referee. What do u think I will say after the match if u win?... That said, there are so many begging question on that tape the require serious answer, in as much as people voted massively for fayose the opposition where strong arm by the military which is against our law...Here are few question I like u to answer for me.. 1.should the opposition candidate be
in a meeting discussing security issue
without the principal security officers of the
state?.. 2. Shud the opposition member
dangle the promotion of a military officer just
for him to do his bidden?..3. Why share
stickers to the opposition so they can
identify their cars without searching them? 4.
Why ask a campaign director of the
opposition to be picked up for no reason?..5.
Why will it be only the PDP that attend a
meeting that has to do with security of the
election?...let me stop here..

My brother, you're wrong. The fact that you aren't aware doesn't mean that nothing is being done...Agencies have to silently do their work and not to advertise daily whenever they cough...When Retired Justice Uwais son left for ISIS fight; that was the point most people knew that security agencies have been on him...Government and governance isn't all about showmanship which most APC governors like Aregbesola; Rochas; Oshiomole etc do...hence pulling wools over the electorates eyes and making them follow sheepishly without questioning...

Finally; on this case, Obanikoro has a case in court. Going by our CONSTITUTION, which we must respect, he remains innocent until convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction. Even the Ekitigate issue isn't enough to stop him until a court of competent jurisdiction says so. NOTE that; if we go by APC mode of reasoning here; staunch APC senators in the house like Senator Danjuma Goje, Senator Saraki and others should also vacate their senate seats because they have cases with EFCC...
GEJ said that there is nothing to investigate about the issue which is totally wrong and also what people were clamoring for is about morality. Why can't he associate with people that have moral. People are just tired of his stealing is not corruption attitude.

As far as that tape issue is concern, its an allegation period.

Its has not been proven in the court of law so Obanikoro is a free man to take up any post now.

Going by what you wrote, it means that Buhari should be labelled a criminal for tendering a fake educational certificate. Then why is he still contesting for president since there is an allegation hanging on his neck.

He will contest because it has not been proven in the court that he tendered a fake certificate.

The Nigerian constitution should be blamed not the people implementing and interpreting it for the actions they are taking

Sigh!!! You people just don't get it. He is npt contesting for anythinh, he was nominated!

The fact that you still find a way to justify his appointment as minister of defence after listening to that tape is sickening. Nigeria might really be doomed if our youths let partisanship rule their thoughts. In saner climes, an investigation will be conducted at least. Look at the Clinton email scandal for example, nobody just waved a magic wand and swept it under a phantom carpet.

But you said initially that PDP is synonymous with rigging to counter my point where I said APC & PDP both rig; thereby singing the music of "we are saints" by APC.

Also, To say; APC learnt rigging from PDP is the height of your insincerity and hypocrisy...Was it PDP that thought AD which turned to AC to ACN to APC how to rig Do you know how tinubu emerged governorship aspirant of AD then as against Funsho Williams? And the aftermath of this deadly intrigue led the latter to defect to PDP before he was murdered maybe by same folks who felt jittery that he was more popular and would win Fashola vis a vis Tinubu...Bro, Read up the history of these hypocritic bunch of digital looters in APC and argue intelligently...
