HOUSE OF ASSEMBLE ON FIRE!!!! AS SEN.IKE EKWEREMADU, BANKOLE, KATSINA-ALU GET 21-DAY EVICTION NOTICES...SEE
Christian Rowland Reporting live for ODOGWU MEDIA....The Special Presidential Investigation Panel, for Recovery of Public Property has given the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, a former Speaker of the House of Reps, Dimeji Bankole, and former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Aloysius Katsina-Alu, 21 days to vacate their residences.
The Chief Okoi Obono-Obla-led panel issued the quit notice on Thursday to the three politicians, as well as former Deputy Speaker and current Senator Usman Bayero Nafada.
The panel said the five of them illegally acquired their then-official residences as their private properties.
According to ODOGWU MEDIA , the immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan had in November 2010 reportedly gave leave to the Senate President, the Deputy Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, to “purchase” their official quarters.
A source told Daily Trust, “The Senate President’s residence was sold to David Mark for N748 million; Speaker, House of Representatives’ residence was sold to Hon Dimeji Bankole for N670 million; while Deputy Senate President residence was sold to Senator Ike Ekweremadu for N458 million.
The newspaper also reports that former President Jonathan had directed that the sale of the property should be gazetted in the Federal Government Gazette in his minute in a memo sent to him by the then minister of the FCT Senator Bala Muhammad dated 18 November 2010, but that was not done.
The source added, “A gazette is a notice to the whole world of the position of government on any issue and since there was a prevailing gazette that the house bought by the plaintiff (referring to David Mark) should not be sold under Government monetization policy, the gazette would have superseded the previous one.
“So the previous gazette prevails since the sale was not gazetted. That alone has vitiated the sale. Secondly the sale is against the public procurement Act which provides any contract for a good and service must be through competitive bidding. The sale was not through competitive bidding.
