Does Falana mean that the NASS does not or cannot have an internal disciplinary mechanism applicable to its members? Is that not what the independence of the NASS is about? Is he also going to say the NJC has no power to investigate petitions made on judges and make its pronouncements before further action is taken because they are also subject to the provisions of the Constitution? The NASS must be and is in fact able to activate an internal investigation and disciplinary mechanism for its members particularly on the conduct of any member as in the case of Ali Ndume. 44 Likes 4 Shares |

mobaking: Don't mind them. Supporters of corruption will always support their corrupt heroes. Back to the debate, Falana expantiated at length citing difference sections of the constitution and court judgments while Ozikhome didn't elaborate enough with sections of the constitution that give them the power and also no explanation of court orders. I give it to Falan 152 Likes 10 Shares |

Watched it on Channels this morning,I saw 2 people trying as much as possible to position themselves for jobs from both arms of Government. But that Ozekhome mouth too sweet,though I know he is a PDP lawyer and cited important sections. Falana already has his hands stained,and cited equally nice assertions that dealt realisticallly on morals rather than legal krankumkrankums. OP,u tried but Ozekhome also mentioned Sections 2,3,4,5.He also quoted the Customs Act(CIMA),section 31. He also gave examples of the Major-General in charge of FRSC who still puts on the FRSC uniform,and 2 other examples. He cited the case between Arthur Nzeribe and Senate where he called them legislathieves.Arthur Nzeribe was suspended for 12months. He said for the fact that even Prof. Itse Sagay draws salaries and emoluments from the FG is entitled to be summoned,even if he weren't drawing salaries,he can be summoned. He also stated by virtue of the CIMA Act,Hameed Alli is the CG and not a sole administrator,it is mandated DAT every custom official is recognized by his/her uniform. He also stated that Magu ceased to be EFCC boss since on the 17th of March,that his name was rejected,and he can't continue in his capacity by virtue of section 2 of the EFCC Act. That the President reserved the right to have left him in Ag.Capacity for 4years but by virtue of the fact that he has been rejected,there is no position for AG.Executive Chairman.

lokobyforch: That's the problem with ur ilks, u lack intelligent and analytical reasoning. Government affairs is not based on discretion, it entirely based on provisions of the constitution. And these provisions must be strictly adhered to. That's the more reason why constitution is being amended on a regular basis. If you don't have enough knowledge of how government operates its better you keep quiet. 51 Likes 5 Shares |

lokobyforch:Let Mike tell us the part of the constitutional provisions or subsisting court judgment he relied on to say so ; he should keep his wishful thinking to himself or his stupid logic. What makes Mike a lawyer is still law and not logic. Falana cited constitutional provisions and subsisting high court and appeal court judgments to buttress his stand. Suspending a NASS member is illegal coz he represents a constituency which is part of Nigeria. If a NASS member is suspended, are u telling us that his constituents cant be part of lawmaking in Nigeria? There should be other ways of disciplining erring members! 63 Likes 1 Share |

fergie001: Everything you said is true... I watched it also, and I think Mike is on a right path. He also mentioned how a Nigerian was rejected by the house in the US. Obama was furious seeing that he believed so much in the man to run the agency. As good as his thoughts were, Obama bowed and tendered another name. So what's so wrong in rejecting Magu? Nigerians will eventually kill democracy. Mike stated that the fact that anyone does not like the faces of certain Senators does not mean we must alter the constitution. Seriously, Mike was on point. That you love Buhari and hate Saraki changes nothing! Put that shitty thoughts in your mind and allow the constitution prevail. Meanwhile, the Senate has the full right to summon any Nigerian, including the common man on the street. 29 Likes 1 Share |

April 1st is named FOOL'S DAY, after Steve April. He was born on 1st April 1579. He did 105 businesses in his lifetime. He lost all his father's assets, and so everyone started calling him father of the fools. At 19, he married a 61-year-old woman who divorced him after a year because of his foolishness. He used to read all kinds of fake stories like you are doing now. Happy April Fool's day 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: Mike Ozekhome Vs Femi Falana On Ndume's Suspension by duni04(m): 8:52am On Apr 01, 2017 |
The difference between the 2 lawyers is clear. Falana cited references in Tony momoh Vs the Senate, to show that the Senate or any Parliament has no right to arbitrarily summon anyone especially to settle political scores. At best the Senate can sue for libel. On Ndume's suspension, Falana cited Dino melaye Vs the house of representatives to show that the house has no power to suspend a lawmaker for even a single day. There are already precedents for these cases. The courts have already interpreted Mike Ozekhome's postulations. Ozekhome is acting and behaving like he doesn't read legal reports. Besides, anything he says is morally tainted since he has corruption cases with the EFCC for money laundering pending in court. 36 Likes 3 Shares |

fergie001: In green: has nothing to do with Ndume's case. In red: That an act of illegality took place unchallenged doesn't make it legal. Falana has cited 2 cases to buttress his point. Case 1: involved Dino Melaye who was suspended by the leadership of the house of reps beyond the 14 day house rules and a judgement was given in his favour as a result. Case 2: The Bauchi member of the state house who was suspended but got justice in the court, as the court ruled suspension of any member of any house for any period was totally illegal and against the constitution of the country which always enjoys superiority. 23 Likes 3 Shares |

Mike supporting thieves since time immemorial. That is how he came to defend Fayose on freezing of account until efcc discovered millions of naira transfered to him from the proceed of crime with evidence. It is common sense. On what ground was Ndume suspended ? For saying he came across allegation that can stain the house in the media and recommended that the house investigate it according to their rules. Why should he be suspended irrespective of the outcome.? Only hopeless youths jubilate at this suspension because to them every problem is people supporting Buhari Vs People not supporting Buhari. Some one foolishly compared it to Principal suspending student in a school. The question remains if a Principal can SUSPEND a student for not washing his car or dating his daughter. 31 Likes 2 Shares |
