Eziachi:
If the charges were trumpeted, then you should be looking at the attorney general at the time, his name is Clement Akpamgbo. He is an old Anambra man. If know nothing about Nigeria, why bother commenting on it?

another lie from the pit of hell clement akpamgbo didn't serve in buhari's regime Buhari ruled with decree he set aside the courts and ruled with trabunal.akpmgbo served under ibb that released ekweme.

Here is his profile you lier

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!

Thank you very much.

Inasmuch as I am not a fan of Jonathan,but buhari should never be allowed to rule this country. He is an unrepentant tribal n islamic champion.

Buhari is really a great man.pls lets vote for him,forget about d ethnic,religious,regional hate.if he can jail those who were not corrupt.what did u expect him to do to this pdp corrupt govt since 1986.he jail both npn(pdp)and action group(apc) .shagari,and ekweme were not corrupt even up to one tenth of gej.that means ibb,obj,mr fix it,pdp and gej,wil all die in jail.

There is nothing like Buhari's coup in 1984 !!!!!!!!! Said by who bro ? U must b sick I swear, dis s d most sily , stupid n folish comment I ve seen on Nairaland since my 9 yrs here, even A child in primary 2 knows wel about d 1984 coup n who piloted it.
So IBB ,Mark n co waz incharge n Buhari asume power 4rm d backyard, u ned a lot of floging in ur forhead or I tel u plss go back to skul n learn plss.
I ve noting about ur Buhari but dis ur single statement just made me hate both of u naw, rubish , nxt time kno wat u say slowpoke

Eziachi:
Since you wanted to learn, there is nothing like Buhari's coup in 1984, it was Babangida, Abacha, Vatsa, Dogonyaro , David Mark, Umar, Idiagbon, Ayuba, Adisa, Rasaki and Onoja's coup of 1984. You can rightly say, Buhari led military government of 1984. Two different scenarios.

Yes, it was a corrupt government led by Shagari just like Balewa government before but on individual basis there was no evidence that both Shagari and Balewa enriched themselves or were corrupt, just clueless and incompetent and those are not crime. Ekwueme was corrupt while in office, all the evidence was there, that is why he was jailed by a military tribunal not by Buhari.
The sentence was ratified by the ruling council SMC of which the likes David Mark and Ike Nwachukwu etc were members like Buhari.
The likes of Umoru Dikko, suffered more than Ekwueme and he is a northerner. Barkin Zuwo almost died in jail, Awwal Ibrahim died there and they are northerners. You people should get the simple truth and not bending fact any 30+ years old should know like nursery alphabet.

lorddannie:


He displays partiality and bias in everything, favouring kins men northern muslims.

Even in the execution of projects by the PTF under his chairmanship. PTF projects, funded by oil money, were virtually in the north. He left the southern states with almost no projects.

It is the same person that the APigShits are trying hard to sell to Nigerians as a messiah. The same tyrant they call incorruptible and just. It is a shame and an insult to the sensibility of Nigerians to associate him with justice.

is it this present regime of government that u can entrust with justice??
The truth is u guys have an inborne hatred for the dude, although he deserves it, buth the tin is this: we dwell on criticizing hausa people than our own people. That makes usn to be in the same lane with the hausas and fulanis whom we claim are tribalistic. Abeg lets forget sentiments when discussing issues of national interest.
I have spoken.

Iykopee:



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

..Are you aware that Almost ALL indicted individuals during GMB's regime was Freed by IBB( A drug baron and 419na) Haven't you heard of birds of a feather flocking togeda

publisher:
Since APC fans (like Barcanista) have successfully defended and justified Buhari's imprisonment of the great FELA KUTI, thus I'd like to hear their views on this.

After Buhari's coup in 1984 with 'corruption' given as excuse, EXECUTIVE President Shagari was placed under house arrest-never tried, while 'ordinary' Vice-President Alex Ekuweme was thrown into the harshest part of kirikiri prison.

What was the rationale behind this? If Shagari's governement was corrupt (according to Buhari) why was the principal and head of government (Shagari) not tried, convicted and thrown in jail?

Is this a sign of what to expect if Buhari is sworn in by May 29, 2015, selective justice?

Over to una...

Because your generation of Jonathan has reduced our presidency to a brigade band have no idea that an elected president like shagari deserves some respect.
Can Jonathan even call ordinary oil subsidy thieves to order let alone place them on house arrest?

you dare call Eziachi names, that is what you get when a platform like the internet crossbreed the opinion of the gods with charlatans like you who are product of broken homes, a generation where parents completely failed their wards in providing basic education nor have the capacity to provide history books.

It is a shame that a prodigal son like you who grew up in the wild without a father will have the temerity to down play Eziachi's effort to educate you.

After the death of aguiyi, Gowon assumed the head of government, by the time you research Aguiyi's coup actors and why Gowon was endorsed.
You will never appreciate that valuable info you were given.

karlmax2:
according to the mugu ibb is corrupt we agree about that .but ibb was a member of buhari's supreme military council. Buhari appointed a corrupt ibb as part of his government. Buhari is a criminal and a fraud he was ruling nigeria with corrupt characters like ibb and abacha.

During oputa panel ibb that Nigerians know as corrupt ran to court to stop him from appearing on the panel,

Buhari who this maga is trying to portray as an upright man ran to court just like the way corrupt ibb did .

The question I now ask the sai Buhari mugus are

If Buhari was not as corrupt as ibb why did he take the same step the evil genius took to avoid been asked the role they played in running this country aground and all those people he murdered...plus the 2.5b dollar traced to his account. Buhari and his crew ibb and abacha institutionalised corruption

So at your age you don't know why IBB was a member of SMC in Buhari's regime??
kai kai loads of goats here im off!

he is simply a fanatic and tribalistic nigerian

Ure a big slowpoke ,not just a slowpoke, ure a Nicompu of d highest order ,dis s y our country 2day is in disaray, everybody twist laws n history in his favour just to get out, infact u and ur Eziachi re monkeys ,u tink ure telin a 1yr old child history or wat, go tel dat to ur family stupid aszhole
