Col Abubakar Dangiwar Umar if he's still alive

Edited: a little bit about him

He's the brave kano Prince who though a diehard IBB boy, looked IBB in the face and told him he was wrong on the case of the annulment of June 12 1993 elections. He was military governor of Kaduna state and is reputed to have made the statement "I can follow IBB to war blindfolded" to show how much he believed in IBB as a general.

He lost his commission because he refused to support the annulnent or Abacha's takeover of govt instead of handing over to MKO. Rumour has it that he would have been killed if not because he was a blue blood. All these despite his famed dislike of MKO whom he viewed as arrogant but he insisted justice and fairplay demanded MKO be sworn in even if he was a devil

He left the Army and government unceremoniously, a simple man without money or scandal. The last I heard of him is that he was into poultry farming. I think gej offered him chairmanship of one probe committee in 2011 but umar declined.

^^ You spoke my mind

Col Abubakar Umar

Umar was a vocal critic of the Abacha regime, and joined the G-18 group of politicians that publicly opposed Abacha's plan to become president.[3] During the Nigerian Fourth Republic he was outspoken on many issues. In June 2000 he said the concept of a monolithic Northern region was obsolete and unnecessary.[9] He warned defeated candidates in the 2003 elections to exercise restraint and follow the law in appealing the results.[10] In March 2004 he wrote a letter to President Olusegun Obasanjo in which he accused him of being an accomplice in the annulment of the 12 June 1993 Presidential election.[11]

In June 2004 he said that the government's unpopular economic policies were creating social unrest.[12] In May 2005 he spoke out against the forced retirement of a deputy governor of Central Bank of Nigeria and accused the government of insincerity in its fight against corruption.[13] He strongly opposed proposals to let Obasanjo run for a third term.[3] In January 2008 he supported the controversial removal of Nuhu Ribadu as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on the basis that Ribadu was insufficiently experienced, and had carried out the directions of President Olusegun Obasanjo without question.[14] In August 2009 he accused President Umaru Yar'Adua of nepotism in his appointments.[15] In December 2009 he called on the ailing President to resign.

The normal police should be reformed and the EFCC placed under them. There is nothing special about financial crimes. It's a police thing.

Anyone who will do the job well and make sure corrupt thieves and politifcians are made to pay for their evil. Mind you, no man can be trusted. The best man comes with time.

We would like Eagle knights or Jaguar knights to hold that position,we know of a particular fellow Tlaui-Colotl (armed scorpion) who duelled and killed five Arrow knights on the Battle Stone with just a left handed staff...he would be the favourite,unfortunately the Texcaltecan warrior was ritually sacrificed to Huitlopopotchli and eaten.

Lol., no one is worthy for now. I mean none.
Maybe with time we will know. Except Buhari himself opts to take on d responsibility along side his bigger position.
Else I can't see anyone. Not even fashola, jega may not even perform well there. Note, everyone has an area of specialization, not because u r good in d inec job doesn't mean u will do same or better in EFCC.
Please these r two different fields entirely.
