I’d refrained from uttering any comment about the CJN saga for some reasons.
In the first instance, how do we know that the accused has not inherited billions of dollars which has enabled him establish himself in the committee of the wealthy.
It could even be that our CJ is a chronic pools better for whom mother luck has suddenly been good.
If either of these happens, it’s only natural that the beneficiary forgets. He’s saying money doesn’t matter to him. So, why should he remember a few billions?
Forget the fact that he’s basically a lawyer. Forget too about the fact that the legal maxim, ‘Ignorance is no excuse in law’, is something even babies learn before they start walking.
You know, as the no one judge in the country, he would be too busy to remember even the most obvious of things.
But then, alo t’ahun, abo t’ana e!
I’ve never hidden the fact that I don’t like Mr Buhari to be president of Nigeria. But then, I recognize the right of the majority in a democracy.
Is this a government?
A government where a so caĺled party chairman would be shouting like a motor boy that once you join the ruling party, your sins are forgiven!
Ah tor!
How many months did it take Mr Buhari to start prosecuting Babachir Lawal? His government is not hiding Mr Buhari’s nepotism.
But then most of those supporting the CJ today would not have supported him if Buhari’s government had done things according to due process.
But no, they had caught a big fish and there’s no going back.
There are some decisions people in power take that one is forced to dare their patriotism. In any case how does this particular trial bring food, immediately, to the dry table of Citizen Muda?.
Even if the CJ MIGHT sit on his own case, have we, so soon, forgotten a gentleman named Abacha. When God saw that Nigerians couldn’t handle him, what happened?
The APC is heating up the political atmosphere as if elections have been postponed.
