I'm yet to hear of any politician being accused of diverting govt funds. Don't think cash has been released for all d NASS fictitious constituency projects.

Even d failed olympic team, it wasn't abt stolen or diverted funds, but refusal to release d said funds at d appropriate time - plain incompetence!

I, as well, don't play with pple who are deficient in comprehension n logical thinking. Very bad for peace of mind n blood pressure!

Amazingly enough, u could only label him a tyrant!
Who do u think is more shameless: someone who supports a tyrant fighting corruption or someone who supports a man who claims stealing is not corruption?
How I wish that president Buhari is actually fighting corruption.

Since he's a reformed democrat, he can't just throw alleged corrupt individuals into jail, and as such instead of others to be dissuaded, they find ingenious ways to carry out their corrupt schemes and wait for their day in court if caught!


Democracy can be a b.t.h, but actual tyrants av brought about a lot of mistrust(Turkey- a case in point)

How I wish that president Buhari will apply the same political will he is using to clamp down on 'corrupt elements' in the opposition and those that served in the immediate past regime across board. How I wish he is not playing politics with his supposed fight against corruption. The way it is being fought in my opinion does not deter anybody from stealing. Rather, since they know the president is focusing on the opposition, they simply continue their corrupt practices and join the ruling party or shut up their mouths from criticizing the government in power (no matter what goes wrong). As such, they are insured. May God get us a leader who will truly fight corruption in Jesus, name, Amen.

It is not about throwing alleged corrupt individuals into jail. It is about demonstrating zero tolerant for corruption starting from his close aids, ministers and those who sponsored his election. By so doing, everyone will sit up. To me, the signal he is sending is that he is after the opposition and once you are on the same page with him, your sins are forgiven.

So many nuances! Fortunately or unfortunately, a lot of d pple supporting PMB are very good at hiding their misdeeds.

Let's see Amaechi; Wike hates him vehemently, yet for d past 15mnths, he has not been able to dig up any unsanctioned, illegal or un-appropriated looting to disgrace him and call PMB's bluff(abt prosecuting indicted APC members).

I'm yet to hear of any prominent APC (Saraki is excused) member mentioned in d Panama papers.

Incase u haven't realized it, everyone, APC n PDP alike are scared of getting on d wrong side of PMB! I've never seen/heard Tinubu ds lowkey! Time should show us.

He wanted absolute powers early in his first term. Do you guys ever pause to think what he would do in a second term?

Buhari throw the constitution into the bin, abolish the Senate, discard the judiciary and in her place bring back his military tribunals. There will be massive clamp down on social media critics as promised by El Rufai. Buhari will destroy every opposition party or element and a one party state with the APC will be the only recognised political party and from there Buhari will use anti terrorism, threat to nationalism as excuse to declare himself life president.

Una never see anything
