Falana Goofed On No Absolute Immunity Submission, Ozekhome says by deantimes(m): 6:35am On Jul 04, 2016 |
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr. Mike Ozekhome, has said the human rights activist , Mr. Femi Falana, was wrong on his position that the Nigerian constitution cannot guarantee absolute immunity against criminal prosecution for governors, deputy-governors, president and vice-president in the country. http://.com/freezing-of-fayoses-account-falana-goofed-on-no-absolute-immunity-submission-ozekhome-says/ 5 Likes

Simple and comprehensive roar from Mike Ozekhome. Falana was a man I really respected his sense of jurisprudence, how he changes is what surprises me. If those who interpret the law be divided, what hope is there for the common man? God! Nigeria! Where is the future you promised us? 65 Likes 8 Shares |

Falana sha!! I wonder what drives him. It's way more than greed. There's some serious enslavement here and maybe d government of the day has something major against him hanging over his head so he's forced to say and do things contrary to equity, good conscience and public policy. 55 Likes 6 Shares |

ReabridCharles: See forget Politics . FALANA is very correct. Without just ranting, let me explain with examples. One of his point is that the immunity does not cover electoral crimes. Check meaning of Absolute first before you jump on the argument. Synonyms of ABSOLUTE It is not a law term it means synonyms: complete, total, utter, out-and-out, outright, entire, perfect, pure, decided;
The above makes the STATEMENT a STATEMENT of FACT. 1. Buhari was in court for his certificate issue cos it affects his election. 2. Ikpeazu was in court because of tax papers that affect his election 3. Gani Fawehinmi took Tinubu to court independently over Toronto Certificate forgery. 4. Sitting governors are tackled from Tribunal to supreme Court despite immunity. 1, 2 and 3 are not electoral petitions. They are suits against people who enjoy immunity but the suit was entertained because it can be categorised as an electoral crime. So we dnt need a PHD in Law before you know WHAT falana is saying is simply the truth. "No absolute immunity in our Law. If there is, Ikpeazu wont be running helter skelter, looking for court injunction" Mike is a PDP lawyer and infact he is currently defending Fayose. So I dnt expect him to take another position. It is only victims of headlines that will scream. 58 Likes 7 Shares |

ReabridCharles: You are still not making any iota of sense. What is the goose and gander ? BUHARI's certificate suit continued despite his immunity until the guy withdrew the case. So what is goose and gander ? Did Gani Fawehinmi not get court injunction for Tinubu to be investigated despite his immunity as Governor of Lagos state ?

Ozekhome lacks credibility. He is one of the hand for hire lawyers, others being Ricki Tarfa, Joseph Daudu. The Constitution does not guarantee immunity from electoral crime. There have been supreme court interpretations in the past about why absolute immunity in this case can lead to anarchy. If the constitution guarantees absolute immunity, what is the role of electoral tribunals? 7 Likes |

Anyone who still doesn't know that Mike Ozekhome lacks credibility, such a person should have his head checked. First, he was the one misinterpreting the constitution during the Fayose's EFCC probe. Now, he's switched allegiance over to the most crookish Senate President Nigeria has ever had; Bukola Saraki. I wonder how some people still manage to sleep at night after telling such blatant lies. Kai! Humans have really surpassed the devil himself in evil deeds. 11 Likes |

ReabridCharles: I am one who is up for a good debate based on actual points and not attacks on the personality of the debaters. So far, you have said absolutely nothing to counter the points made by AntiWailer. If you have any actual points to make on the subject or the points raised by AntiWailer, now would be a good time to present it. Below is Section 308 of the Nigerian Constitution for reference.. 308. (1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Constitution, but subject to subsection (2) of this section - (a) no civil or criminal proceedings shall be instituted or continued against a person to whom this section applies during his period of office; (b) a person to whom this section applies shall not be arrested or imprisoned during that period either in pursuance of the process of any court or otherwise; and (c) no process of any court requiring or compelling the appearance of a person to whom this section applies, shall be applied for or issued: Provided that in ascertaining whether any period of limitation has expired for the purposes of any proceedings against a person to whom this section applies, no account shall be taken of his period of office. (2) The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to civil proceedings against a person to whom this section applies in his official capacity or to civil or criminal proceedings in which such a person is only a nominal party. (3) This section applies to a person holding the office of President or Vice-President, Governor or Deputy Governor; and the reference in this section to "period of office" is a reference to the period during which the person holding such office is required to perform the functions of the office.

This Ozhekome of a dude is fast losing it, this is plain silly of him as a SAN Falana was clearly right based on his crystal clear interpretations. It is too clear that absolute immunity clause will not blow us any good wind especially at this time of crusade war against corruption.
