There's no gainsaying that Jonathan's administration is corruption-friendly. Such financial recklessness has always been treated with kid gloves so I was not taken aback!

But not for the fear of the unknown as shrouded by the much talked about alleged islamization of Nigeria, Buhari would do this country much good as he has the temerity and audacity to fight corruption for which GEJ's regime has fought 'abysmally' if not left in the doldrums.

Let's am mistaken for anti-Ibo, I'm a bona fide son of Ibo land and I dnt condone any self-aggrandizement from these-so called polithicians who are painstakingly milking this country dry.

Lagos State Speaker was acquitted lately of any corruption in court and it is now official that the corruption tag can no longer hold.

If I may ask you, Princess Stella Oduah approved N255M for the purchase of bullet proof Cars for NCAA and you declared her super corrupt what did you say when Mallam Sanusi used N1.2 billion to hiring private jets?

When is approving purchase of cars call corruption?

Moreover, nobody asked you if you were Igbo rather your conscience was not convinced you were actually Igbo.

It is good for you to do your homework very well before exposing your ignorance in public forum.

You want us to believe that Stella Oduah enriched herself with the contract for the purchase of the armoured cars when the report of the committees by both the NASS and Presidency ruled out such allegations.

Corruption was ruled out for the fact that there was zero evidence that she benefited anything from the transaction rather the issue under contention was budget limit and approval exceeding her office without recourse to National Executive Council hence she was indicted on alleged Executive recklessness and undermining of National budget.

Here comes the troll and fallen one. Guy, can you tell us when the NASS acquitted her? For your information, NASS recommended her immediate sack as at then.
What about the Presidential Committee? they acquitted her? FYI they indicted STEALER ODUAH.

I shall be glad if you will provide your fact or I shall gladly supply you mine on request.

As for Ikuforiji, the EFCC still have the liberty to appeal his case, until an otherwise judgement from a competent court, he remains INNOCENT and not guilty nor indicted.

Some of you have problem with yourselves when you cannot form your own opinion basically for lack of dependable information and bereft of the actual position of the law.

What I can only deduce from your comment is too much believe on gossips and hearsays.

The judiciary is an arm of government. The courts have taken anti government stands before and it was right. If the plaintiff didn't follow the stipulated guidelines, do we blame it on GEJ? More over, the Court said that most of the information requested was already published. This has nothing to do with the president.
Let's live the man out of this. Two wrongs can never make a right. Since the woman left office, our airports have started failing. Her crime was 250m. Then what about the governor of Abia or Enugu who sacked his deputy to having a poultry farm or the Gov Amaechi who spent 1.04b on Ebola or Gov fashola who is building a rail line that is 3times costlier than the a rail line of longer distance built in Abuja or almost all the Governors in the country whom on a monthly base embezzle the LG allocations of their states or the National Assembly that take 1/3 of the national budget or the civil service who even aid this corruption. No politician can steal any money without the backing of a civil servant.
Sir, the Nigerian corruption problems is not for the president alone to tackle. If we put our hands together, we can stop it.

I mentioned the reason the HOR gave for her indictment and would want to hear yours.

It is not enough to say they recommended so and so without listing the points on which they did so.

Moreover, NASS also indicted Mallam EL'rufai and declared him too corrupt to occupy a public office. Yet El'rufia is contesting for the Governor of Kaduna State under APC.

NB: I am good at ignoring childish insults and if you ever want a reply from me anytime then try to be polite.

This type of groups should be encouraged so the govt will not be taking us for a ride. If the govt. knows it will be called to answer for its past, it will sit up.

Some people just see a post that appeal to their sentiment and start firing from all cylinder. Do you think the group that brought up this case has not done their due diligence unlike the multitude here that just follow the bang wagon.

Let her be nailed corrupt rightly with all the data on the table, that is what the group is asking.

God bless you.

looking at the majority of the comments in this thread. You can tell why Nigeria is the way it is today. A bunch of degree carrying illiterates.

Plus there was never any outright purchase of bullet proof cars done by stella. There was only a lease finance arrangement.

http://allafrica.com/stories/201310290267.html

Also, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has insisted it has "no documents for the purchase of bulletproof cars" for minister of aviation Princess Stella Oduah but has documents for "the lease finance arrangement".

According toNCAA's spokesman Mr Fan Ndubuoke, "NCAA has documents relating to the Lease Finance arrangement for the procurement of Operational, Security and Safety Vehicles for the use of the Authority as provided for in its 2013 Appropriation".

Ndubuokewas reacting to reports that the agency failed to supply any document to the Freedom of Information Act request made by civil rights lawyer Mr Femi Falana (SAN). Ndubuokesaid the reports are misleading.

He said: "It is pertinent to re-state here that NCAA indeed has no documents for the purchase of bulletproof cars for the honourable minister of aviation as demanded by the Lagos Lawyer, Mr Femi Falana, (SAN).

"Instead, NCAA has documents relating to the Lease Finance arrangement for the procurement of Operational, Security and Safety Vehicles for the use of the Authority as provided for in its 2013 appropriation.

"All these documents are already in the public domain and have also been deposited with the various committees looking into the matter. The public is hereby enjoined to discountenance the innuendoes which tended to suggest that NCAA does not have documents at all regarding the bulletproof vehicles.


"It must be made clear here that Mr Femi Falana (SAN) specifically requested documents for the procurement of vehicles for the honourable minister of aviation."




Now since the lease arrangements are available to the public to purchase, the court was right to dismiss the suit.

http://www.nigeria-law.org/Legislation/LFN/2011/Freedom%20Of%20Information%20Act.pdf
