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".

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.

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.

Brig. Tunde Idiagbon told reporters Thursday that the stockpiles of money ranged from $56,000 found at the home of former Vice President Alex Ekwueme, to $4.5 million at the residence of the last civilian governor of Kono State, Alhaji Sabo Bakin Zuwo.

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??

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.

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?

Please if u are the one in all honesty, would u have done otherwise? It is logical, knowing the tribes they both came from, if one have stolen 1m naira the other must have stolen 10b naira.

A court set up by IBB to try ekwueme over the issue exonerated him of any crime related to buhari's claim... Now it's obvious the clueless 'iron monkey with ostrich neck' named buhari lied to hookwink and innocent man. He must lose 2015 presidential contests

You are being laughable. IBB was notorious for releasing EVERY Corrupt Official and Businessmen that was convicted and jailed by General Muhammammadu Buhari. This confirms that it was the corrupt establishment that Sponsored IBB to take over the reigns of Government from General Muhammadu Buhari.

@OP, do u mean that any Igboman that votes GMB come Feb 14, 2005 is on his own?. Igbo pple take note.

Even those who are carrying Igbo related monikers on this forum meanwhile they don't have any origin in Igbo land, take note.

ur answer will go a long in telling us who buhari really is

so are you saying that when buhari was military ruler he only jailed Christians and ibos? and he never punished any hausa or Fulani muslim?

Just answer @OP's question and open another thread to compare all the christians and muslims that Buhari jailed.

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!

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

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.

Was Ekuweme ever tried by Buhari's govt?

Didn't a competent legal panel eventually proclaim that VP Ekuweme left politics even poorer and no money was ever found on him?

This is the true story of things. We all know what IBB represent, no wonder both of them are founding members of PDP.

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.

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.
