He is not stuupid,as the C-in-C you will and must be faced with certain decisions you can't help. Trust me because am a man of the inside bench

No. You're merely a sycophant. Perhaps well remunerated, but still an under the table dog who must defend his master.
You have no qualms in betraying your children by helping to ruin the Nigeria they will inherit. And for what?!

ifihearam:

Buhari
Is that a name of a dog or cockroach?

I just asked google and guess what? The result says "a noun" who once ruled and is still dreamin of ruling ur country.

ifihearam:

My brother a spade is always a spade and not a shovel,GEJ cannot wake up one morning to grant these people amnesty,however,the late president promised DSP before his untimely death and its only proper for him to grant a dying wish of his former boss.

Like I said it was a unanimous decision from the council of elders and the pressurised him and begged him into agreeing.

we are also begging him to release rev king. Legalize corruption and increase his food allowance to 40billion naira. If thats nt enough, the should just nigeria to ghana

Ile-Ife:

Lol this made my evening.

I am seriously and massively let down by the inclusion of Diepreye' name among the list of pardoned convicted felons, Major Al-Mustapha is more useful to this country than that rogue president general if Ijaw kingdom abi na nation...

Major Al-Mustapha deserve similar magnanimity from the government, the guy only acted in the line of duty.

little time now Alams will carry banner saying he wants to contest for president!?

*smh*

Corruption As Grand Commander Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria. I am not surprised but puzzled. GEJ is too corrupt to the extent that stuffs like this would be just normal to him. He does not worth the effort. But I am puzzled that even if people like Abati could not persuade him to drop such a daft decision, they could have at least persuaded him to leave it till the tail end of his lackluster and worthless administration. We now have a corruption in chief ruling ruining Nigeria. Perhaps they tried but Jonathan stuck to his foolishness.

The next move would be to confer one of the numerous useless titles called national honour on him for "promoting" peace in the Niger Delta and get him chaired a committee to reform EFCC. Bravo, GEJ is working! Uncommon transformation!! Fresh air!!! Haters are talking, GEJ is working looting!

taharqa: *smh*

Is that all you have to say? C'mon! you can do better than this.

You seem to be oddly silent on the rest of members of the Council of State who unanimously approved this appalling decision.

Who is this pig?

You know, I was happy you were doing your good old job lapping up GEJ's arzehole, until I saw the bolded.

The cursed.

Alams, Alams no dey carry last!

Naija wat a country. A country anything can happen!!!!!!!!

jaykai24: What about those in prison without trial? I believe when u get to kirikiri, their re lots of innocent ppl dying in jail without trial.
Folks don't be fooled...by the name PDP, ANC etc... They are all bunch of zombies. Naa aka chukwu ka ayi nor.

Sorry, govt doesn't pardon petty criminals; state pardon is for VIP criminals.

Monimatic:
Our source revealed to us that the Council of State, which is comprised of the President, Vice President, all state governors, former Presidents, the Chief Justice of the Federation, the Senate President and Speaker, amongst others, unanimously approved the list of those pardoned today.

hmm. Buhari and Fashola approved this too?

I am really against FG on this.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh our clueless president has done it again, clearing ground for 2015.The excuse for granting DSP his pardon was the most tame.Soon it will be Bode Gorge.Hmmm,I weep for Naija.

4 Play:

We now have Yakubu Gowon or Ernest Shonekan administration? A drowning man would cling to any straw. Forget unnecessary ornamentation or embellishments, GEJ is responsible for whatever happens in his government.

Seriously SMH 4Naija!

For all those like 4Play making excuses that the council of state were the ones responsible for this, please refer to the relevant part of the constitution below

SECTION 175 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

175. (1) The President may -

.........(a) grant any person concerned with or convicted of any offence created by an Act of the National Assembly a pardon, either free or subject to lawful conditions;

........(b) grant to any person a respite, either for an indefinite or for a specified period, of the execution of any punishment imposed on that person for such an offence;

.........(c) substitute a less severe form of punishment for any punishment imposed on that person for such an offence; or

.........(d) remit the whole or any part of any punishment imposed on that person for such an offence or of any penalty or forfeiture otherwise due to the State on account of such an offence.

2) The powers of the President under subsection (1) of this section shall be exercised by him after consultation with the Council of State.

3) The President, acting in accordance with the advice of the Council of State, may exercise his powers under subsection (1) of this section in relation to persons concerned with offences against the army, naval or air-force law or convicted or sentenced by a court-martial.

Please note that the it repeatedly states "THE PRESIDENT" and places responsibility for initiating the process on "THE PRESIDENT".

A PARDON DOES NOT COME FROM THE COUNCIL OF STATE. A PARDON COMES FROM THE PRESIDENT.

Please stop making excuses for Goodluck Jonathan. He is responsible for this.


Looking at the Council of State meeting, you will see that only the YES-MEN former Presidents with no backbone - Shagari, Gowon, Shonekan - attended the meeting.

Please stop making foolish excuses for Mr. Goodluck Jonathan. This is his doing and his only.

Before the last general elections, I made up my mind not to vote GEJ because I discovered he was too quick to give concessions, I felt that it was a sign of weakness.

Even my 4year old daughter would have done better!!!

How come they forgot Igbinedion?

GEJ is the GCFRN aka the big boss elected by Nigerians so he can VETO any daft pardon. I can get why Diya and yar'adua were pardoned ,theirs was a jungle military commissions,however DSP is an international felon.
GEJ is surely a criminal.

Fresh air. Scene 1. Bode George, Robber Anini, Monday Osunbor to follow.
From Transformation, this is reverberation. Destabilisation is the next.

Cruxxy: How come they forgot Igbinedion?

supplementary budget still dey come

Bayo, you are one of the brightest chaps here but I think you too missed what is obvious and what led to this desperate move to 'rehabilitate' Alamieyeseigha. GEJ is a very crude leader. He lacks the finesse and developmental intelligence all leaders should have because he is merely an opportunist and not a leader. His sort are just merely bright enough to be eternally obsessed with self-interest and clinging on to power just like the many ruinous leaders Africa was cursed with in the past.

GEJ only know how to do what we are now seeing same as you would expect your house to be filthy if you bring in two touts to live with you who have always lived under a bridge and never in a house. Promoted far above his station and wanting desperately to retain power, this President wants to assemble 'Capos' he can trust everywhere (like Alamco, Tukur and Anenih) who actually have officially useful powers. A new powerbase if you like. Simply bullying his own hatchet-men into influential office and use them to ensure there is no opposition standing is the name of the game for GEJ.

The crudeness of the man means it won't be long before we see Alamco in an official government position. Mark my words. We are seeing the desperate shenanigans of a desperate man to hand important office to those he feels will help him achieve what he wants. Did you not see Akpabio become Chairman of the newly formed PDP Governor's forum when everyone knows that is a superfluous position created to thwart Amaechi, Aliyu et al? Bottom line is that this man realises 2015 is impossible for him unless he puts "his people" everywhere he feels opposition may arise to his ambition. Futile tactics but how can that be made clear to a crude opportunist promoted far above his station and determined to 'sit tight'? Anenih, Tukur are 'resurrected' and so too will be the case for Alamco.

take dat: Only three past presidents attended the meeting namely: Shagari, Gowon and Shonekan!

Even Obj wasn't there. He surely don't want to be involved in this malady.
Not surprise with the retardeen's action. I await the next bastard that will attack me for calling the kai-kai infected brain names demanding that I ought to pray for the fool.
Rubbish.

4 Play:

You seem to be oddly silent on the rest of members of the Council of State who unanimously approved this appalling decision.

Fool, if the retardeen didn't bring it up for discussion, it wouldn't even be in the agenda. It came up because he wanted it. Are u this daft?

This is a man who is still wanted in the United Kingdom o.

What message are we giving to the international community

They President and his people should have applied federal character in this pardon.


We demand equality in this country. Lopsidedness should be totally eradicated.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dangaye: What remains now is to return Alams confiscated assets to him to allow him enjoy his loot more freely. What a country!!
Carefully GEJ history is recording all what your administration is doing.

Including retirement package consisting of full salary, 4 Nigerian police officers, stewards, a phat house of his choice in Bayelsa and Abuja and all the other trappings of corrupt and crooked Nigerian official.


And the clown is still an international fugitive...
