Joe Igbokwe: Corruption Creeps Into The Supreme Court by Chikpat(m): 8:19am On Feb 06, 2016 |
The Supreme Court decision that upheld the dubious and fraudulent elections that took place in Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Abia States has sent a dangerous signal to the political landscape and at once put a question mark on anti corruption project of President Buhari’s administration. I was stunned into disbelief that the Supreme Court of Nigeria should in one fell swoop render nugatory all the Tribunals and Appeal Court rulings with respect to Rivers, AkwaIbom, and Abia States without thinking about the bizarre consequences of such unilateral actions in the body polity. That the Supreme Court of Nigeria will totally ignore the massive fraud, massive violence, brutal murder and humiliation of innocent citizens of this country and go ahead to announce electoral fraudsters as governors portends grave danger to our renascent democracy. President Buhari who was elected by Nigerians to fight corruption to a standstill had alerted the nation last week that his biggest headache in the fight against corruption is the judiciary. Few days later the worst happened at the Supreme Court of Nigeria to confirm the President fears. A seven man bench led by chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed ignored the mass killings, hooliganism and brigandage in the three States, ignored the weighty and empirical evidences made available, ignored the reports of International Observers and independent observers and went ahead to circumvent the Peoples’ expectations by rewarding the offenders instead of rewarding the offended. The late Nwafor Orizu says that it is not that the offended cannot forgive but has the offender repented?Now this unthinkable decision at the Apex Court has thrown up a lot of questions: Who are these Supreme Court Judges? Of what meat were they fed?Where are they coming from? What are their antecedents and pedigree? What is their background? Do we know their character? Who appointed them Judges?Was it on merit or just to create jobs for the boys? Can anybody educate Nigerians about these Judges? Do they know the agenda and the focus of this government? Do they live among us? What do they know about political corruption? What informed their decision to do what they did? What was on their minds as they were delivering this judgment? Did they give a thought aboutthose ordinary Nigerians who were maimed and murdered? Do they worry about the feelings of the people of Nigeria? Do they care about the feelings of the observers who saw it all? Are they members of PDP?The fight for corruption whether political corruption or economic corruption remains the focal point of this government. A friend tells me that political corruption is more dangerous than economic corruption. If we are able to reduce corruption in Nigeria by 80% Price Waterhouse Coppers says the Gross Domestic Product GDP will hit two trillion Dollars by 2030. If we kill corruption in Nigeria Commerce and business alone can build our economy even without oil. This is the more reason why well meaning Nigerians must support President Buhari to clear the Augean Stable in Nigeria. But corruption is fighting back from all corners. We see corruption fighting back in National Assembly. We see corruption fighting back in the judiciary. We see corruption fighting back in PDP. We see corruption fighting back on the pages of our Newspapers and TV Stations .We see corruption fighting back even from the ordinary Nigerians. We see corruption fighting even from the unexpected quarters. This is the real danger. Justices of the Supreme Court are also Nigerians. We all buy from the same market. They too need money. They need to pay school fees for their Children abroad. They need to buy houses in choice areas of Nigeria. They love exotic cars also. They love good things of life. They can be corrupt too. The fact that somebody is appointed the Supreme Court judge does not make him or her a super person. Corruption is not written on anybody’s face. Therefore let nobody think that supreme courts judges are immune to corruption. If the Supreme Court justices are found to be corrupt then their decisions may not be final because they are not God. I fear the judges are using their excessive powers to play to the gallery and this must be thoroughly investigated. I suggest we investigate their earnings , their investments and Bank Statements here and abroad. This is the way to go at this stage and age. If gold begins to rust what will iron do? Eneke the bird says when men learn to shoot without missing it will fly without perching. The recent developments at the apex court calls for new thinking , new ideas, new method , and new approach. I speak for those who were killed during the elections. I speak for those were maimed and wounded . I speak for those who cannot speak for themselves . I speak for the weak, the helpless and the hapless. I speak for the ordinary citizens of Nigeria who were intimidated and robbed by electoral criminals in those three states. I implore Nigerians to help this president to succeed. Many talk about the economy, many say that president Buhari has no plans for the economy and they say that naira/ dollar relationship is 300/1. But those who know better know that corruption is the biggest problem in Nigeria. If we do not kill corruption corruption will kill Nigeria. President Buhari is breaking his back for Nigeria. President Buhari is bitting bullets to save Nigeria. President Buhari is drilling the deepest well to take back Nigeria from unconscionable looters. President Buhari is going extra miles to do the unthinkable to save Nigeria. President Buhari is taking the biggest risk in the world for the sake of Nigeria. This president is trying to pull down the Tower of Babel single handedly. Investment funds are in the pockets of few Nigerians. The money that will build the power sector, security architecture, roads, hospitals, schools, create jobs,and efficient transportation systems etc in order to attract foreign investments are in the private pockets. Get this money , invest it and create the needed momentum and the economy will bounce back. Now here is what I read online yesterday: ‘You want Naira to be strong against the Dollar? Very simple! 1.Replace your Kellogg with Nasco 2.Replace your Toyota/Honda fleet with Innoson 3.Buy your funiture from Benin not US or Italy 4.Get your Rug from Nobel not Dubai 5.Instead of champagne try palmwine 6.Clothes can be made in Lagos not only in Paris 7.Aba shoes are as good as those you buy in London’ Case rested! 2 Likes |

Igbokwe, Odegun, and other APC operatives should thank the Supreme court for restoring Nigeria democracy. Where were they when 95 % of all the election cases were being awarded to them by compromised election tribunals and appeal court judge friends of Amaechi and Tinubu Everybody remembers how the tribunal judge in Rivers was removed and replaced by an APC friendly judge who delivered as expected, we hear of unusual reasons why the governors of Akwa Ibom and Abia(oil rich states) lost their petitions following unusual reasonings by the tribunals. APC, Odigun, and Igbokwe kept quiet at these aberrations. Oh don't forget the Taraba case which violated the principal reasons given for awarding APC the cases in Benue. Yet the APC machinery kept quite, because these aberrations were what they ordered by vision plan to make their party a national party for future elections. Thank God for courageous supreme court judges who know the importance of balancing opposition vs ruling parties in a democracy, otherwise Buahri and his agents had clear plans to use "favorable judges" to make this country into an unstable one party state. 1 Like |

Courts don't operate like town square dispute resolution meetings. The court decides on cold hard facts and evidence. Even if all the international observers in the world say that an election is rigged but the petitioner cannot place cogent evidence before the court or his witnesses are discredited, then the court would happily dismiss his case. But why is it that anytime a judgment doesn't favor a particular side, the judges automatically become corrupt. 4 Likes |

This is blackmail. APC blackmailing the Judiciary! This is hypocrisy of the highest order. APC's ACN rose by bribing Salami of appeal court, is now accusing same judiciary it worked so hard to compromise. Gosh! Pls someone tell the APC goons that this one is DOA- Dead on Arrival. With its waning popularity for its endless propaganda and blame-game amidst obvious inability to forge a coherent policy direction for the nation, this might well be it's coffin nail. 1 Like |

Oct 2015: "APC Hails Supreme Court As Wike Loses Appeal On Jurisdiction" http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/apc-hails-nigerian-supreme-court-as-wike-loses-appeal-on-jurisdiction/ Today, after getting roundly beaten at the Supreme courts and ending their oil states conquest delusions in tears... "Corruption In The Supreme Court" - Joe Igbokwe. #TheChangingChangers. I am seruously worried about the disgusting behavioral traits shown by the characters in this APC party, especially their arrogance and inability to handle rejection. It seems to run deep in all of them, down to their hero Buhari. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBkmrHgN10I Even with his CLEAR defeat, he still refused to accept it. This man would rather disregard the law unless things work in his favour. This is why I laugh when some naive people say things like "Yes we voted Buhari! And if he fails to live up, we'll remove him in 2019". This is fuuucccking hilarious! What you don't realize is that you signed your democracy's DEATH WARRANT the day you voted these FASCISTS! They are POWER-HUNGRY totalitarians who won't mind killing and destroying everything in their path as long as they remain in power. Tell me, how many of these bigots have ever accepted defeat, even in obvious cases? You shall see my point in 2019. It's just 3 years away. |
