Pressure Mounts On Buhari To Arrest Jonathan by narapollo: 10:42pm On Mar 27, 2016 |
HE ongoing investigations of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s aides and calls for his probe may have stirred unease across the nation, especially within the camp of the former president, fuelling speculations that agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC may soon knock on his door. Talks on this have simmered over time, but gained currency last week when the Senate leader, Senator Ali Ndume demanded that President Muhammadu Buhari should authorize the commission to probe and prosecute him. His intervention, according to him, has become expedient owing to the need for the ex- president to throw more light on the fallouts from the explanations of some of his aides that are being held. Ndume had said, “Nobody is supposed to be above the law. If Jonathan is a culprit, he should face the law. If there is evidence that the former president should face the law, then, he should. After all, he is presumed guilty.” As if on cue, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, while answering reporters’ questions on the subject declared emphatically that ,” The President does not tele-guide the EFCC in any way.” The president’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, corroborated him, adding that Buhari did not sign any pact with Jonathan, or any past president to exempt him (Jonathan) from probe. Expatiating further, Shehu said that Buhari’s open and transparent nature would not allow him to enter into any secret pact with anybody, especially on the ongoing war on corruption. The resurgence of the clamour to probe and rein in Jonathan, according to Sunday Sun’s findings emanated from pressures mounted on Buhari by some of his adversaries who are now in the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and who are bent on capitalizing on the fallouts of the probe to extract a pound of flesh from him. A source within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP pointedly accused a former governor from the South- south as spear heading the pressure group. “Until recently, Buhari had sought to maintain the unwritten tradition in Nigeria whereby past presidents are always treated with respect and left unruffled on issues of transparency, no matter the agitations, or clamour. That espirit de corps is about to be broken.” In a thinly veiled reference to an all encompassing probe that will brook no sacred cows, the President told Nigerians in an interactive session with them last week in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea that “We will be merciless and relentless in pursuing all those who abused public trust. Nigerians will see how some of the elite conspired to run the nation down.” Although the president did not set out on a witch hunt mission against Jonathan, recent pressures that are basically hinged on the mind-boggling revelations from investigators of Jonathan regime may also have assisted in compelling him to buckle under and develop a thick skin. His stance is equally buoyed by a tacit endorsement by civil society groups, leading opinion moulders and a sweeping percentage of ordinary Nigerians who are outraged by the huge loots. read more at[url][http://www.technetcruz.com/2016/03/pressure-mounts-on-buhari-to-arrest.html#more] |

Even if PMB wanted to arrest GEJ,he couldn't, No other issue will facilitate a civil war quicker than the arrest of GEJ. I dont have the time to explain why now,maybe later. And that South - South governor (Amaechi) that is allegedly spear heading this should be a little bit wiser. It can't happen. 7 Likes 1 Share |

These sai baba people really wants Buhari in a pit. I pity Buhari if he touches GEJ. I really do. Just like Hausa/fulani leaders looters like IBB, Abdusalam, Abacha, Shagari are sacred in the eyes of their people, GEJ is sacred in the eyes of Eastern Nigeria. The gods wants to make Buhari mad before destroying him and I welcome it. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

I thought the law presumes everyone innocent until proven guilty. So how can a lawmaker make this kind of comment: narapollo: Is this the way to turn the law on its head just to score certain points? Where then is the justice and impartiality that should govern every investigation and subsequent prosecution? Evidently, law enforcement agencies will be hard pressed to secure any proof even if they hagen to lie or fabricate same. Anyway, this action is one that will swiftly bring about that which is hoped for and sorely desired...bring it on! 1 Like 1 Share |

Buhari lack the balls to do so. Before buhari can arrest GEJ he must make sure he has also arrested tinubu, atiku, Ameachi, IBB, Abdusalam, Shagari, OBJ. Buhari is just deciving his zombies with his so called fight against corruption yet no evidence of money returned. 1 Like |

There are more important things to focus on.... Arrest Fulani herdsmen instead and a greater part of Nigeria will have peace...... Arresting GEJ will not add value instead it will make your administration unpopular. |
