If it was indeed pension, which is outrageous anyway, the reference should have been pension IFO Saraki not salary IFO Saraki.

The revelation that the figure increased significantly 3 times in 4 years and payment stopped sometime in 2015 is questionable.

socialmediaman:
I have a few comments to make regarding this announcement by the Kwara state government:

1. When the EFCC saw these lodgements into Saraki's account, did they make enquiries with the state Revenue Board to seek clarification before using this as evidence?

2. I believe the State government has erred in making a public statement on a delicate matter like this in court, they should rather enter the witness stand (or wait to be invited) either on request of defendant or prosecution to clarify these payments one after another as alleged by EFCC. This kind of public statement can sway the mind of the public or the judge especially when the statement is not supported by hard copy proof.

3. It's interesting to note how much a retired state governor earns as monthly pension, especially in a state like Kwara which is not considered currently as one of richest states in Nigeria. The other question is, was this pension increase also reviewed for other State government workers, or was it just reviewed for political pensioners like Saraki?

Some of your submission os correct while some are wrong.

The truth is just NEVER BW A GREEDY PERSON. IN LIFE WINNER TAKES ALL IS NOT THE BEST. You win some you lose some. Saraki's problem actually started when he refused to concede other senate's position to his party.

Lol, tru but if u ar priviledged to read "the 48laws of power"...one of d laws include.."Defeat ur enemy totally"...and dere is dis saying that "what u win in war, u loose in negotiation"....if he av given to party pressure once, he wld av bn a gunner alrdy!....in politics..its either u win or loose..dere is no in between

Banks don't label or do narration on payments, depositors do!!!

Whether it is labeled salary or pension does not matter. What I queried in my post is what did efcc want to achieve by quoting what the bank labeled the payments in the Saraki's bank statement rather than use its investigative powers to know from the Kwara government what the payments truly represent.

Now it has alleged that Saraki continued to draw salaries (illegally?), what Saraki needs to poo ooh that naive allegation is to present the Kwara State Public Officers Pension Laws 2010 which entitles him to draw salaries for life at the same rate as the incumbent governor.

It may be immoral but the salaries/pension are legal backed by Kwara State laws. The focus of efcc, since the trial is at CCT should have been to establish whether Saraki declare that income in his asset declaration or not.

No, that Senate "Coup" was just the insult that finally made the wound to start oozing blood!

He could have been left alone to 'sin no more' but being the greedy person he is, he thought he was smarter than everyone and decided to throw caution to the wind.
Most Politicians have a criminal past (that includes Tinubu!) ...but some of them knwo when to "lay-low" and not stoke the fire!
Saraki's Greed pushed him over the Cliff..... now he is falling!



Lastpage!

if you actually cancelled presecution for persecution then you have said it all. Also going by what you implied that when one steals and lies low then his sins will be forgiven if not he will face the full force of law, then the fight against corruption is a joke.

Gamesmart:


I am quite sure it would not be a bank that labels a payment into an account, it would be the depositor.

Banks don't label money paid in as they guess. If they have to, it would be generic.




That is what normally happens in states too. When state civil servants salaries are increased, pensions are reviewed.

There is no explanation for his increases in short months and the infrequencies & gaps in payments to him.




No, the question that should be asked is why is this crook drawing unexplained money from public funds, not why EFCC is raising the issue.

If Saraki has any 'what if' as you tried to excuse for him, let him tell the court through one of his 80 lawyers.



Saraki has 80 lawyers working for him, if he feels there is any issue/evidence raised that has no relevance to the trial then I am sure one of tthem knows how to raise an objection.

Respect to you Sir! Please take this.....

Very intelligent questions!

Sister, too much IQ

all these are propagandas, because we understand what saraki is doing with the state allocation because if I could remember since last year April when the local allocation was paused just because they are paying some debt with his boy who seems to be the governor. I just wanna say this to my Mr Senate president that they keep doing there worst and be thinking of their judgement day, come to some of the local government and see how they are punishing them. no good road. no employment, and we will continue to pray for the best tranquility of the state and likewise the country

Menzy86:
I just concluded that Saraki must have used one very strong and intractable juju on those ilorin people. I feel absolutely disgusted when I see them in that mood. My guy even supposed intellectuals o. Mental slavery is indeed the greatest bane of the african man!

For real that's what he did, through his demonic aifas and imported marabouts he make sure the bright destinies of bright Kwarans were caged. It is not ordinary when aged and young women trek kilometres to Saraki's house at GRA just to eat amala with ewedu or egusi soup funny but true imagine that type of politics and rubbish in this modern age!

gcof:
and i always wonder, is it about convicting a man of his crimes and jailing him or is it about vacating the senate president seat....from all indications, he is procecuted for being the the senate president

Call it anything saraki has be enjoying govt funds since being in the womb. He must pay for his greed and over ambition to teach others lessons. A medical doctor that neva practiced one day. A manager in defunt societe general bank, then promoted to managing director of the bank by his late father, used the money from the bank to finance politics joining politics thereby destroying the bank. I dont have sympathy 4 somebody that would motgage the future of my unborn children and grandchildren for his greed and over-ambition inspite of the fact that he is already affluent.

why not let him be convicted rather than telling him to vacate the senate seat making it seem like that is just the sole aim of his prosecution

aaronson:
This is what happens when you only focused on the negative side of people.

If you have waited to hear the comment after yours, I believe you wouldn't have written this poo.

You mean, if not dwelling on saraki negative part, the so-called pension payments were ok? Do you have pensioners in your vicinity or family at all? Pension is now multiplied salary. Nigeria needs purging!

This why we have problems in this country. What else are u looking for? We are talking of somebody who has been fed from his womb with stolen money. In other climes he would have stepped aside but in nigeria, he is so super rich that he can afford to hire 90 SANs to fight for his defence, what a morckery of our legal system. Politicians know very well that nigeria legal prosection system has loop-holes that they can always explore. This is why this case is just begining hearing after going back and forth for months. Yet some youths on NL that are not up to 1% Saraki's fortune will be defending him or any theiving politicians. Its saraki's turn today let it be anybody's turn tomorrow. Its welcome. All yam eaters must vormit whatever they have eaten. Call it persecution or witch-hunting one is clear a thief is a thief.

You have just made a case for corruption. As a youth, you should be ashamed of yourself. I would ignore your simplistic bigoted views though as not everyone on NL is blessed with a good brain.

Going through this thread it is sad that young people are making excuses for corrupt politicians who were CAUGHT RED-HANDED.

These men are the reason for the tough living conditions you endure. Use your brains.
