The immediate past Minister of National Planning Commission, Dr. Abubakar Olanrewaju Sulaiman, on Saturday took a swipe at the Chairman of the Presidential anti-corruption committee, Professor Itse Sagay and Information and Culture Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed over their recent attack on former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The former Minister, said the statement credited to legal jurist, Prof. Itse Sagay on the 23rd December, 2015 that tends to vilify President Jonathan on the ongoing arms scam is not only unfortunate but unprofessional.
His words: ”One should expect the respected learned scholar to know that you don’t hang a suspect on the pages of newspaper or via social media until he or she is found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.
“Even where the learned jurist feel passionate of such a sensitive but sensational issue, he should know the right route to the villa rather than taking such prejudicial position. It is high time our legal luminaries confined themselves to the noble enclave of their profession than toeing the path of some mischief politicians whose main occupation is perceiving every matter from the point of sheer politics and propaganda.”
Continuing, he said: ”Nigeria awaits the report of Sagay committee on how best to fight corruption in our polity. And we pray that when the report of his Committee finally comes out, it will reflect and incorporate the noble principles of rule of law, fair hearing and impartiality so as to meet the irreducible minimum standard expected in matters of this nature. We also pray that it may not end up dashing, rather than raising the hopes of average Nigerian in the vintage APC fashion, as with most things these days.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

God bless you immensely but I doubt if they will listen
ReplyDeleteAs the saying goes in Law, you must be very careful not to open certain doors in your bid to justify your ungodly and immoral actions.
ReplyDeleteAlso, in law, when faced with obvious violations and unacceptable actions, the process of prosecution through the Court is just the formality as entrenched in our Constitution. So there is no need to be sentimental or evasive about the truth since as the saying goes, you can never fight the truth.
Attempt to hide under judicial process in order to delay your punishment or public condemnation is nothing but abuse of judicial process and also an attempt to insult the intelligence of the Nigerians.
PDP, majority of it's members and it's former ministers despite the obvious facts being made available via documentations and even via sworn confessions are all still criminally attempting to insult the intelligence of Nigerians. May the good Lord judge every individual and their entire households accordingly.
May God complete the deliverance of Nigeria from utter backwardness in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
May the Lord continue to frustrate and reduce to oblivion all the known and secret enemies of Nigeria in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen and Amen.
May the Lord erase all the known and secret enemies of Nigeria like human fart in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen and Amen.
