insubordination will crush this government

imagine ordinary office clerk saying board of directors can not summon him

let's attack the individual and respect the institution

Only in a doomed company will the board of directors be so idle as to summon an ordinary clerk.

Unfortunately for you and your ilk, you are a bunch of inconsequential nonentities who have zero knowledge of the workings of government.
Ignorant people like you pushed GEJ to his ruin and you're back to infecting whoever you with your atrocious luck.

My advice to you is that you seek advice on legal matters before commenting and stop coming here to disgrace yourself.

Okay oya ask the professor of law to confirm the new REC and ministerial nominees. The Senate will grind the machinery of government until the president will have no other choice but to sack them to appease the Senate

Ruin?

So losing an election means ruin? No wonder Africans refuse to relinquish power. They think they must die in office.

Worldly power is transient. He served nearly 6 years. That was enough.

20 years from now, Nigerians can more objectively judge both GEJ & Buhari govts. That is democracy. We African need to understand that.

can you explain why you said this...

PublicAssurance:
Itse Sagay has no atom of credibility.

cktheluckyman:

The professor was biting more than he can chew saying Magu can continue to act indefinitely and the Senate is dubious. He would soon find out how powerful the Senate is

Powerful ko powerempty ni. Make dm die there. Awon werey.

Erudite my as.s.Professor Sagay is a very big disgrace to the legal profession. Since his appointment into the buhari's government, he seemed to have lost it.His end is near.It is either he and magu goes or the Senate will completely cripple buhari's regime.The choice is his

Oga senate cant do anything. If Buhari insists that Saraki must go, call him goner. Mr president has overriding power. Senate does pay nor does it interprete law. Anything going to senate is just for formality. Infact, Buhari can use presidentual fiat to lock the senate at worse, they will approach court; if the president wish he obey.

This bunch of senators are nothing but jokers.

I am sure they are burning their candle to very end.


In their their minds they are thinking they are inflicting pains on the the
people they are representing by not sporing bills and ing laws
that will ameliorate the suffering of the masses.


Very soon i am sure they will all be the ultimate losers.

Truly they have no such power to summon him. Since his appointment did not through the senate they have no authority over him.

enigma2007:


That will be funny because the executive can also hold them by the balls by not releasing funds... since they have decided not to do their constitutional duties

Oya let's the game begin. Let's see who blinks first

I think i will just read comments and learn new things...

janefarms2015:


Who is ordinary office clerk? Do you know the position he occupies? Do you know this erudite professor's records and antecedents? No lawyer or any honest Nigerian who is matured enough in age and intellect will not respect this man's view on issues of national development

Abeg..my broda help me tell am.e b like say him no know say e git ppl wey know wetin dem dey..do...by d way him no just talk am...him quote constitution...abi d sinators..no dey operate within constitution again? Stupid ppl...I just despise those Holigans

(a) procure all such evidence, written or oral, direct or circumstantial, as it may think necessary or desirable, and examine all persons as witnesses whose evidence may be material or relevant to the subject matter;
(b) require such evidence to be given on oath;
(c) summon any person in Nigeria to give evidence at any place or produce any document or other thing in his possession or under his control, and examine him as a witness and require him to produce any document or other thing in his possession or under his control, subject to all just exceptions; and

(2) A summons or warrant issued under this section may be served or executed by any member of the Nigeria Police Force or by any person authorised in that behalf by the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives, as the case may require

AngelicBeing:
l taya for this useless government, l expect them to be summoning price control boards & everything and anything to do with bringing down the prices of goods and services but rather it is Saraki jeep, Dino, Certificates, Sagay, uniform of customs they are busy talking about , no serious bills to address the high cost of living, what kind of useless politicians we have in Nigeria, na wao

Unfortunately I don't see this changing anytime soon, these are the kinds of irrelevant things they will keep chasing after until the final whistle is blown.

No policies
No direction
No investments
No long term plans or implementation
No strategy

How on earth will the country move forward?
Nigerians are in for it, anyway what's my own there.

Your response is so mature and firm, thank you......Seriously Nigeria has no future with this kind of youth.

20 years from now, Nigerians can more objective judge both GEJ & Buhari govts. that is democracy. We African need to understand that.

GEJ served as Deputy Gov, Governor, VP, President for 6 years but Otueke people didn't have water or good roads simply because he followed sycophants like the original poster I quoted.

Goodluck's greatest ruin wasn't the fact that he lost an election, it is the fact that he lost the goodwill of the people who loved him most.

Go figure.

Our senators especially the red chamber had nothing like integrity, caution has been thrown into the air since the days Lord Luguard left ..

unitysheart:


You mean when he said "I belong to everybody"?

Nope


He shot himself in the foot when the Senate presidency brouhaha started

He allowed an opportunist like Sataki and co hijack the most powerful tool of government

pauljumbo:


that does not mean he will insults an arm of government

They deserve all the insults. They're childish, immature and they're all thieves.

Comparing a Professor of Jurisprudence and Senior Advocate of Nigeria to an ordinary office clerk? You are either ignorant or just being silly!

Buhari has been trying to remove Saraki since 2015.How exactly has he fared

ALAYORMII:
The Senate is fast becoming a joke


Buhari shot himself in the foot when he willingly or by mistake allowed the Senate to fall into the wrong hands



99.9% of the senators are fantastically corrupt


The remaining 0.1% are still corrupt

The day i knew PMB was not serious was the day he allowed saraki and that crook in HOR to take over such paramount institutions.

If it was OBJ he would've fought tooth and nail to get those scoundrels out, even if it means unleashing the military

When I said Sagay should be stripped of his professorship, people thought I was being harsh..

This is from the constitution

I wonder if Itse Sagay is no longer a Nigerian in Nigeria that 1 (c) of the above section doesn't apply to him.

What a disgrace

The istration is full of drama and comedy.

You are talking out of point. His reply is a watery defence that's out of fear as he doesn't know the ramification of embarrassment he wants to cause his boss.

The Senate can invite him. The Senate can invite the president. Not to talk of him.

People like you, keep pushing buhari and his team. No problem. By the time they mess him up he will be alone in the woods.

What view, other than calling people corrupt and interfering with court judgments.

d senate is fast becoming a theatre of comedy. where ignorance is bliss... lets wait 4 2019... and we shall see who wields d big stick...
