To me actually I'm not always excited by this government agencies. If someone has been preventing them to do their work, what cost them to make some noise to the public and let the people be the judge. As a matter of fact, one of them could have as well resigned and that will put a lot of pressure on the government who might be seen to be sabotaging the rule of law. But now that they are fearing for their job, they now decided to make noise. Bunch of hypocrites!

Our elders say "We should first chase away the fox before we now try to pass judgement on the cock". The argument has come up that the case happened in 2003. Do we forget that he (Saraki) was governor of Kwara State between 2003 and 2011. So during those time he had immunity and was shielded from the law.

blazetitov:


What's your point? Am sure the CCB did not ban other stations from airing the proceeds live on their TV platforms.

adadadon:


That's how you display ignorance ....
The constitution recognises the CCB has a court on its own which means a Superior court backed by the constitution. The same jurisdiction with a federal court and the high court can only have a persuasive effect not but binding effect.
The CCT is impari material to the FHC

baralatie:

it is sooooo annoying and barbaric!
they must be on something!
claiming that they are a court of jurisprudence.

that are really out of line!do they think this a dictatorial regime.

Have you noticed that both sides of every argument holds some truth or makes some sense, having said that its no longer sufficient to declare any party right or wrong in totality. Rather its adviceable to establish a common ground between or amongst both parties involved while ensuring that justice and fairness is given the utmost preference in the final proclamation.

Now back to your question. If we are to create a list of TV stations in Nigeria in the order of performance or professionalism or even size, I'm very sure TVC won't make the first page. But here they are; in the forefront of the Saraki Saga. Saraki might be guilty as charged for all I care, after all he was part of previous political dispensations known for corruption.

But lets be sincere to our selves for ones in this our short life. TVC Of all stations in this country.

Be sincere to yourself in secret, nobody will notice.

CCB is not a recognised court of jurisprudence hence it erred but it going to the an higher appellate court is welcomed.

Thanks for your information but please let me add that it appears some of our senior lawyers when they have practiced for a long period like 10,15, 20 years do forget the fundamentals of the court system. I learnt in my days as an Undergraduate (100L) that under the Nigerian Legal System, the HIGH COURT, FEDERAL HIGH COURT, SHARIA COURT OF APPEAL and ANY TRIBUNAL as well as the Newly Accredited by the Constitution- The INDUSTRIAL COURT are courts of co-ordinate jurisdiction. What that means is that none of those courts above can issue an order against one another. Appeal from all those courts go to Court of Appeal. So it is the Court of Appeal that can stop the CCT and you know, Saraki cannot head to Court of Appeal as a court of first instance- so the gimmick is go to FHC and if it does not work, on the foundation of the FHC Ruling, either party can now go to Court of Appeal and later to Supreme Court, thereby delaying the arraignment. The best bet is for the CCT to disregard the FHC order as is only persuasive and not binding.

FHC= Federal High Court
CCT = Code of Coduct Tribunal.

Jiti Ogunye, a legal practisioner is on phone. According to him, The CCB and CCT are recognized by the Constitution. The CCT is the "court" of the CCB. The high court has no jurisdiction over the CCB. The CCT is so powerful that, unlike the high court, it takes the both houses of the NASS, upon the request of the President, to remove their judges.
Saraki has no reason for saying he is being witch - hunted because he left office in 2011 because Tinubu was tried in 2012 after leaving in 2007.

PenSniper:



Do you understand the issues here ?
CCB - Code of Conduct Bureau

CCT - Code of Conduct Tribunal - the court for CCB.
CCB is not a court but has its own court called CCT just like INEC has its election tribunals from where appeals go to
appeal courts only over and above the high court.

Saraki can as well ignore the CCT on the same premise of obeying the high court's order

omogidi234:


A court can ignore another court's or tribunal's order but No individual can ignore a court's call most especially in a government that is ready to work. EXCEPT that person bolts out of Nigeria and stays outside until after the life of the government. The latter option may be better.

gbam!

Idrismusty97:
If i was Saraki i would have peacefully resign than risks being embarrassed out of office and back to square one. Saraki isn't wise.

cassimere:


the CCT will probably order his arrest for contempt...that'll be worse off for him.

OnReflection:


Less bellicose this time around?

Reality slowly beginning to dawn?

Even the dog on the street knows the initial summons takes precedence
