Saraki Should Resign As A Matter Of Honour, Says Sagay by Racoon(m): 11:44pm On Aug 09, 2018 |
Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) Chairman, Prof Itse Sagay (SAN) Thursday said Senate President Bukola Saraki should step down as a matter of honour even if he is not bound by law to do so. According to him, it would only require two-thirds majority of available Senators to unseat Saraki. Sagay, however, emphasised that the Senate President’s defection from All Progressives Congress (APC), the platform on which he was elected, to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), does not invalidate his position. He spoke in Abuja on the sidelines of a workshop on the United Kingdom Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO), organised by PACAC, UK National Crime Agency and the Department for International Development (DfID). On whether Saraki was bound to resign, Sagay said: “He should relinquish his position as a matter of honour. He’s not compelled by law to do so. He needs to be removed by two-thirds majority.“He got there because he was in APC even though he got there by subterfuge, which is typical of him. He got there in a cheeky, fraudulent manner. “Nevertheless, for him to be removed, they need two-thirds, not of the Senate, but of those present and voting at a meeting.“It doesn’t have to be everybody. It’s those who happen to be there. Once they meet the quorum of one-third, and he is there, he can be removed by two-thirds of that one-third.” Sagay faulted the freezing of Benue State’s account by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), describing it as “extreme”. He said while EFCC could investigate governors, they cannot be prosecuted since they have immunity. “There’s nothing EFCC can do to him (Governor Samuel Ortom). They can’t arrest him. They can investigate him, put down the records of what they found, and wait for his tenure to end. Right now nobody can touch him. “As for freezing Benue State’s account, I can’t support it. I don’t know why, but government has to function. I don’t want people to suffer because there are no funds for basic government functions.“I don’t know if EFCC really did that; we have to be careful because it looks extreme to me,” Sagay said. "The eminent professor of law rejected calls for President Muhammadu Buhari to sack finance minister Mrs Kemi Adeosun over the allegation that she skipped the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme and forged an exemption certificate. https://www.google.com/amp/thenationonlineng.net/saraki-should-resign-as-a-matter-of-honour-says-sagay/amp/ 11 Likes |

"The eminent professor of law rejected calls for President Muhammadu Buhari to sack finance minister Mrs Kemi Adeosun over the allegation that she skipped the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme and forged an exemption certificate. And this man is the government's Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) Chairman Any wonder the all-corruption encaste APC government have been losing high profile antigraft cases? This means Obono-Obla WAEC certificate scandal too will never be investigated. How on earth can a so called constitutional lawyer of Prof.Sagay's calibre say this for God's sake & even before international agencies? This is how political appointment can reduce once reasonable & highly esteemed people to sorry humanity. Turning the law & logic upside down.Too bad! So sad! 6 Likes 1 Share |

-1).Sagay on Tambuwal's Defection From the PDP to APC in 2014; 2).Sagay on Saraki's Defection from the APC back to the PDP in 2018; Tambuwal can defect & held to the speakership title in 2014 but Saraki cant do so in the senate in 2018? Kemi Adeosun should not resign based on your warped logic but Saraki should resign based on honour. Hypocrisy is a very nauseating way of life.Sagay you are & will forever remain a disgrace. 4 Likes 1 Share |

He should resign as a matter of honour yet you asked Adeosun who is with a forged certificate not to resign. Old fool speaking from both side of the mouth. You re one of our problems. Dishonourable man telling another to resign honourably,what an irony. Ndi ara. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Resign as a matter of honour or rather should stay as a savior of democracy.. Saraki has been the wedge between the undemocratic principles of this government and the populace..

I don't understand why these APC people are foolishly expecting Saraki to just give up the Senate presidency without a fight, when that position is the only source of his political relevance. Without the Senate presidency, Saraki becomes just another regular Senator with little political clout. They should get real. 1 Like |
