Very soon, Buhari's vuvuzelas will post a link to a 1984 New York Times article [http://www.nytimes.com/1984/01/21/world/around-the-world-nigeria-says-it-recovers-millions-from-ex-aides.html], claiming that stockpiles of money of more than $56,000 was found in Ekweme's House. But tell them that that was Buhari's government's allegation. Apart from Buhari/Idiagbon, no one else saw that money. They just had to trump up that charge to justify their human rights abuse just to earn legitimacy in the eyes of the world. Till today, Buhari cannot substantiate why he cruelly jailed Ekwueme. He only came up with an unproven allegation which Uwaifo panel shot down few years later. Ekwueme was not tried. He was never sentenced. Buhari just left him to rot in Kirirkiri without trial because he knew he had no evidence. Now, look at what Ekwueme has to say about the allegations: " Buhari cannot even get any evidence to support what he was saying because they were allies. Blatant lies. It was just a hang-up he had simply because he was in power, and had the gun. And he had to justify his own illegality (of toppling a legitimate government)". And read this too: Ekwueme was never tried but was illegally detained for 20 months. Hear him: "I waited for them for 20 months and they didn’t even come to ask me a question because I was the first person to be detained from December 31". Read this Ekwueme's interview: http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=8561 Buhari is an epitome of criminality and wickedness. All perfumes of Arabia cannot mask the stench of dictatorship and cruelty that oozes out of him. Try as you can to fumigate his image, like the he-goat, his body produces his stench. 21 Likes 3 Shares |

Published Jan 21, 1984 LAGOS, Nigeria, Jan. 20— Nigeria's military Government has recovered millions of dollars in currency hoarded by former officials and is trying to retrieve millions more smuggled out of the country, a member of the new regime says.Let us analyse this carefullu. $56, 000 was found in Ekweme's House, an Igbo man he was jailed $4.5 million was found in Former Civilian Governor Sabo Zuwo House, a Fellow fulani from Kano, he was equally jailed for 300 years. Please where is the discrepancy?? 8 Likes 1 Share |

barcanista:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The difference here is that Bakin Zuwo was tried and sentenced. There was apparently no evidence against Ekwueme. So he was neither tried nor sentenced. He was just dumped in Kirikiri to die. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Sibabasibaba1:You and I have talked about this. You wanted to accuse Buhari of Selectiveness based on tribalism while it was clear that he was a truly patriot. Mr. which evidence are you looking for again? Did Ekweme deny keeping the money in his house? is it my father that kept it? What is the difference between Ekweme and Bakin? 2 Likes |

There were dozens of former governors, ministers, business people of Muslim Hausa-Fulani origin who were similarly jailed by the Buhari regime. Just a few examples: 1. Umar Dikko, a Muslim Hausa Fulani scion and arguably the most influential northern politician at the time, was unprecedentedly pursued up to his UK hiding place, abducted by the Nigerian security agents, bundled and literally 'boxed' and almost got smuggled back to Nigeria - to account for his alleged corruption during the Shagari regime. 2. Isyaku Rabiu, arguably one of the richest ever Hausa Fulani businessmen, and one of the most highly respected Islamic scholars as well (he is indeed one of the leading Tijaniyya Sheikhs in West Africa), was not only thrown to jail at the time but even got one of his legs reportedly broken by the security agents in the process of his arrest, probably after his hundreds of supported tried to prevent him from being arrested. 3. Another super-rich northern businessman in Kaduna, late A Haruna Dan-ja, also a Muslim Hausa Fulani, was equally arrested and thrown into jail (both Sheikh Isyaku Rabiu and Danja were allegedly implicated in corrupt practices that were considered harmful to the national economy, such as misuse of import licences, hoarding of essential commodities, etc.). 4. Late Sabo Bakin Zuwa, a former governor of Kano state, was sentenced to 300 years in jail WITH HARD LABOUR by a Kaduna military tribunal, after which he was rumoured to have 'begged' the tribunal for more years, saying that 'mere 300 years' were not enough! LOL 5. A prominent businessman of Katsina origin, a Hausa-Fulani Muslim, who had been allegedly aiding and abetting cross- border smuggling between Nigeria and Niger for many years prior to the coming of the Buhari regime, and who was so well connected in the country, had to hide in the ceiling of his house when security agents swooped his home in the dead hours of the night; they evacuated all his family members and spent hours looking for him. He eventually had to run to the Republic of Niger where he took refuge! 6. A very influential former ambassador of Kaduna state origin, a Hausa Muslim, is STILL living in the capital of a Western country, apparently too traumatized and frightened to return to Nigeria, having been implicated in a massive corruption case back then. Like in the cases of Southern politicians, almost all of the northern Hausa-Fulani politicians jailed during Buhari regime were NEVER FREED until AFTER the Buhari regime was overthrown. The fugitives among them also never returned until after the overthrow of the Buhari's government (a few never returned to date!). Whoever is old, enlightened and honest enough should know all this, as it was very much a public knowledge. In fact, immediately after the ouster of the Buhari regime, hundreds of friends, relatives and business associates of Sheikh Isyaku Rabiu trooped to his Kano residence and started frenzied celebrations and special prayers in anticipation of the release of their billionaire Sheikh. What many people in the South do not seem to know is the fact that the corrupt among the Hausa Fulani Muslim elite hate and fear a Buhari government as much as the Christian bigots and tribalists would hate it, but for different reasons. While the latter group hate Buhari for nothing other than sheer religious bigotry and incurable tribalism, the former fear the general because they know very well that it would never be business as usual for them under a Buhari-led government - being a Muslim and a Hausa- Fulani would NOT shield anyone of them from being held accountable! 6 Likes 1 Share |

barcanista: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please don't accuse me falsely. I hate Buhari's hypocrisy but I have never accused him of tribalism. Not because he is or is not a tribalist but because I don't do tribalism. Read through all my posts-which mostly are to highlight Buhari's hypocrisy-you will never see where I accused the criminal coup plotter of tribalism. In fact, I do not accuse people of tribalism. Now, can please provide a link of any judgement where Ekwueme was found guilty and sentenced. Buhari had no evidence against Ekwueme, for if he had, he would have charged him to court-even if it is a kangaroo court. But because he had none, he just left Ekwueme to die. At least, you indicated that Zuwo was sentenced 300 years. That means there was a judgement and he was found guilty. So, provide a link to where Ekwueme was found guilty. Or do you now equate allegation with guilt? And if that is what you are saying, then you have to then agree with those who have accused Buhari of sponsoring Boko Haram. After all, in your books, allegation is equal to guilt. So, not providing any evidence to nail Ekwueme even in a tribunal set up by him (Buhari) suggested that the allegation against Ekwueme was a figment of the criminal coup plotter's imagination. 12 Likes |

Sibabasibaba1:A man kills or is accused of murder, he is held in Prison on awaiting trial, government changed and a Kangaroo Corrupt Government came onboard and FREE every suspected fraudulent Officials and convicted ones. This is the true story of things. We all know what IBB represent, no wonder both of them are founding members of PDP. I would have believed Ekweme if he had given tangible explanation as to how $56,000 found its way into his house. That money in today's equivalent is about $56 million or there about. Ekweme is CORRUPT same with IBB |

barcanista: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for agreeing that Buhari is a Boko Haram sponsor. Let us now ask the corrupt criminal coup plotter, Buhari, where he kept the so called $56,000 he found in Ekwueme's house as he could not find the liver to try Ekwueme after 20 months. This even more ridiculous given that Ekwueme was about the first politician to be arrested when Buhari illegally seized power. If he found the evidence to try those that were arrested later, I wonder why he could not try Ekwueme after 20 months. For 20 months he was still building a case against Ekwueme. This your alibi as ridiculous as it is pathetic. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

barcanista: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now, Ekwueme didn't need to prove anything. The onus was on the corrupt coup plotter to prove Ekwueme's guilt in either a law court or a tribunal. But because he had no evidence, he was ashamed to charge Ekwueme. Even at that, Ekwueme was not given any opportunity to prove his innocence. That opportunity could only come in the law court or tribunal but he was not taken there, another indication of Buhari's propensity for abusing innocent people's fundamental human rights. 2 Likes |
