The Senate has defended its action of confirming Sen. Musiliu
Obanikoro as Minister today despite protest by APC Senators over alleged election rigging. Speaking with the press after
Obanikoro's confirmation, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and
Publicity, Enyinnaya Abaribe said all the reasons for not wanting to
get him confirmed by APC Senators were still allegations and until it is proven otherwise by a competent law court, Obanikoro stands
innocent..
"There are allegations against Senator Musiliu
Obanikoro, but in our
law and the constitution of Nigeria, anything that is a mere allegation
that is not a court decision is nothing but a mere allegation. The laws
of Nigeria is very clear; you are innocent until proven guilty, so that
is what played out on the floor of the Senate. The Senators who
addressed the press conference and spoke otherwise of Senator Obanikoro
are enjoying a privilege. This is because some of them have EFCC cases,
and they are still in
the senate because of this privilege of being innocent until proven
guilty. So they cannot go to a press conference, and try to convict
somebody when the person has not been convicted by a court of law. The
Senate is not a court of law and even when the Senate conducts
its own investigation, it passes it to the appropriate body for
prosecution" he said.

The APC is a collection of desperate hypocrites
Good for him
Ok,like Farouk lawan the cap bribery receiver (oops!he's pdp).
Birds of the same feather. Shut up fools. If you think you can use Koro to rig by taking him back to ministry of defense, better think again
This super story only happens in Nigeria.there will never be any way we can deal with corruption.
Yes, they are allegations, nevertheless, the nomination has to be put on hold until he is declared innocent by a court of law.
Not the other way round! March4Change!
Obanikoro congrats o! Am happy for u
Ok. That's their business
Nigerians u & I know that PDP Government. are bad & they re not suppose to be voted in again to rule this country Nigeria. U can see the way Ekiti. State. Governorship election was rigged by Obanikoro, who listen to the record tape we know what am talking about. Please let us make a #change so that we will be free from this evil we are seen almost everyday in Nigeria, & for how long are we going to be swimming inside corruption, insecurity, darkness & poverty? U can see the way they recycle themselves? So wake-up & vote for #change #ihavedecided to vote for #change#
I weep 4 Nigeria.
Let all with Genuine concern CRY for the Beloved Country.
The Nigerian Senate in confirming Obanikoro has just exhibited the worst case of Shameless display of Childishness. The Whole World is watching this mockery of Law, Moral and Common Sense.This Dude among others was caught on tape excreting on our Constitution n the Nigerian Senate told him to take a Bow as a Prelude to his confirmation as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I think Folks need to rise above Party lines to jointly Condemn this Affront on our Reasoning or we will also be complicit in this Malefaction.
Let us Denounce this Precedence so that posterity will Judge us Kindly because what happened is a Chronic Systemic Disequilibrium that will have a lasting Negative infectious impact on the Superstructure of the Polity.
Dude Koro has already stained himself n has no binnez being on the Holy Ground of the National Assembly, except when call upon to account 4 his Misdeeds during the infamous Ekitigate Scandal. Imagine Obama or Lee Kwan Yu or Mandela (late) being the President of Nigeria and nominating Obanikoro for a Ministerial Position despite the public scandal. THINK DEEP FOLKS. THINK DEEP.

Simply put APC didn't want to make PDP another minister.

Hoeloshi hoeloribu

Get a life Queen!! Useless Allen whore
Half of you haven't gone past the state you reside so you have no clue of how this government has brought the nation low. This just further drags us behind. It is not about party, it is about what you are teaching the future to do. OPC is welcomed, Millitants are welcomed with open arms. This nation is going the way of Libya and you all are shouting congrats to this people. It is said that the leaders rejected by the people are rejected by God. A rejected leader will only make things worse for himself by perpetuating himself in power. They had better leave or terrible things will happen to them
Will u keep quite? Ok continue #infirstladyvoice
With the endorsement of Musliu Obanikoro , the Senate president had anchored the mockery of democracy. Democracy as a matter of fact serves as a catalyst for enthrenchment of corruption and malpractices in a system with indisciplined majority. Obanikoro is not a minister, he is a sinister..
What do you expect from a PDP senator club. This regime is the most corrupt in the history of this nation. They believe they can do anything and go scot- free. Impunity without limit. They will meet their Nemesis after 29 May. God is greater than this useless PDP criminal government.
Guy Plz I didn't do anything to u o!! No be me be d winch in your family affecting your progress...Biko stop!!!
This guys would confirm even the devil at the right price,
Vote no fight
From your name it's obvious u are a product of a failed society.
Vote no fight

Vote no fight
I think this politicians feel free to do what ever they like knowing fully well that most Nigerians judgment is clouded with our ethnic n religious beliefs, as if that will do u any good. All with no exception of any religion or ethnicity with suffer d stings of bad leadership. Some don't even know what is expected of a leader, very fast to say he tried now. What a shame.
Vote no fight

True talk..."The laws of Nigeria is very clear; you are innocent until proven guilty, so that is what played out on the floor of the Senate."
So end of discussion.
"..until it is proven otherwise by a competent law court, Obanikoro stands innocent.."
Really? But his president says he isn't investigating the matter? So matter is dead on arrival.
What impunity! What disregard for the electorate! What a shame. Well perhaps 'our economy can not support' uprightness
congrats minister Obanikoro...APC Senators should go fetch water from the lagoon and drink ojaree!
I have a dream, "it will come to pass that those who think they are immune to being trialed and facing the consequences of their actions, will not only be punished but will lose all they have stolen to the less privileged".
Y is it that APC has not taken Obanikoro to court and want the Senate to act as both Prosecutor n the Judge?
THEY ARE RIGHT, LINDA IF GOOGLE KEPT YOUR BLOG DOWN WITHOUT BOTHERING TO INVESTIGATE WOULD YOU THINK IT WAS FAIR? EVERYONE IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY! THAT'S RESPECTING THE RULE OF LAW
Lmao.... Well said Queen... Let them use it for kunu, we want transformation, not 2k change like APCriminals has been given them biko.. Lol...
Shut up u cowards... An innocent man should be deprived of his right cos if some selfish lot? Never... I still stand to be corrected that not a mention of eltion rigging was mentioned on d@ ekitit gate tape..
I guess our senator do not understand the wording "Men of questionable character"
