Delta state officials and Ibori plan celebration ahead of planned 'acquittal'

Saharareporters has gathered details of a plan by former Governor James Onanefe Ibori to have a grand celebration of his arranged acquittal by a compromised judge of the Federal High Court in Asaba, capital of Delta State. The ruling is scheduled for this Friday (November 6 2009).
Several of our sources revealed that the arrangement for Mr. Ibori’s acquittal has reached frenzied dimensions as Princess Faith Majemite, the executive assistant (political) to the current governor of Delta State, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has begun raising funds for a party planned for next Saturday.A source familiar with the intricacies of the deal told Saharareporters that Mercel Awokulehin, the judge in the sham trial, gave definite assurance last weekend that he would dismiss the case on technical grounds. Several of our sources said the judge received a bribe of $5 million through a deal brokered in Singapore. One indication that Ibori’s team received advanced notice of the verdict was exposed when Majemite went about town asking PDP politicians and contractors to donate towards a “thanksgiving party” scheduled for Saturday in Asaba and Ibori’s hometown-Oghara. The fundraiser was directed mostly at the party’s “inner caucus” as well as businessmen who had profited during Ibori’s eight-year reign as well as those who have received contracts as well as political appointments from Uduaghan.

Disband the Nigerian judiciary today

The Nigerian judiciary is in a total mess and needs to be urgently saved from itself through immediate disbandment. These fellows who giddily address themselves as “learned friends” are indeed some of the greatest clowns and jokers on God’s earth. Andy Uba’s backdoor quest to be foisted on Anambra State as an unconstitutional “governor-in-waiting” is about to get judicial blessing courtesy of the Court of Appeal.
Sir Celestine Omehia who was sacked as Rivers State Governor by the Supreme Court has thus been heartened to return to the selfsame Supreme Court, asking it to eat its own vomit by reversing its earlier verdict. Anarchy has been loosed on the Nigerian judiciary, and one cannot stop laughing at the Alawada theatre blokes of the wig and gown profession. They are masquerading as the last hope of the common man when they are indeed the foot mat of corrupt politicians.Who needs a judiciary that does not know that a case ought to have an endpoint? The Supreme Court has apparently ceased to be the apex court in the land; whence the Andy Uba gambit of going back to the Appeal Court when the Supreme Court had ruled that he ab initio contested for a non-vacant position. All the legal rigmarole being manufactured here and there to cover up the shenanigans of the so-called Uba appeal only amounts to a death-knell for the Nigerian judiciary.
