one useless Fulani cow still insist Abacha never stole anything from Nigeria purse Buhari, long before he was elected
president, stubbornly insisted that
Abacha “never stole”, and that he
was not corrupt. “Illegally taken
from Nigeria” If Abacha had not
appointed him as the Executive
Chairman of the defunct
Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF),
where he was given unlimited
powers to spend billions of Naira
between 1996 and 1998, would
Buhari have stuck out his neck for
him and say he was not corrupt?
The
interest of the north in
the presidency has
nothing to do with the
effective and purposeful
leadership of Nigeria but to continue the
Islamic domination,
corruption,
embezzlement and
abuse of Nigeria ’s oil
wealth.

There was light,water, good roads and hospitals with drugs during abacha. His economic economic policies were okay despite the embargo.
Its very bad that he stole these monies.The cumulative amount if what abacha had stolen is not up to $$2b

But no one is talking of $16b that could be accounted for in the name of power fix.Is this because obj is still alive?
How about the various billions of dollars that was shared in the last elections and subsidy scams etc? A fraction of it,is the current $2b arms deal investigated.

To me abacha is %100 better than his successors

Prof. Itse Sagay, Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), on Thursday said Nigeria risks losing another $550 million recovered from the Abacha family to the United States.

Sagay disclosed this at a media conference on asset recovery jointly organised by PACAC and the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and the Diaspora.

“Nigeria presently stands to lose another S550 million recovered from the Abacha family to the U.S., contrary to the earlier promise by the U.S. to return same to Nigeria,” he said.

Sagay said the amount represented a separate tranche from the earlier $480 million forfeited to the U.S. following a court judgment in August 2014.

He said that the stringent conditions for repatriation being given by the countries in which some of the nation’s stolen wealth was stashed contradicted the earlier promises made.

He expressed concern at the country’s challenges in the tracing, seizure, forfeiture and return of Nigeria’s assets laundered outside the country.

According to Sagay, the challenges include stringent conditions and other uncooperative attitude of the countries in possession of the stolen funds.

“Out of the Abacha loot for instance, Switzerland seized over $505.5 million between 2004 and 2006. The UK recovered 2.7 million dollars from Alamieyeseigha’s account in London in 2005.

“Alamieyeseigha’s home and other real estate as at 2005 was estimated at over 15 million dollars,’’ Sagay said.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, called for the unconditional return of Nigeria’s looted fund.

Dabiri-Erewa, who said asset recovery was different from asset returning, decried the uncooperative attitude of the countries where the stolen funds were being stashed.

“America has over 400 million dollars that have been officially recovered as stolen funds from Nigeria.

“But America is keeping the funds. They are telling us about technicalities; they are saying we recovered doesn’t mean we can return.

“We want every Nigerian in Diaspora, friends of Nigeria, to join this committee in demanding that every Nigeria’s stolen fund recovered in any part of the world should be returned to Nigeria,” she said.

According to her, the person who steals is just as guilty as the person who keeps stolen funds.

“The person who steals is a criminal; the person who keeps known stolen funds is also liable.

“You can’t give us aid of one billion dollars and keep one billion dollars of funds you have recovered from Nigeria.

“So we will join the committee to embark on an advocacy with Nigerians outside the world to appeal to these nations to do everything possible to return what belongs to Nigeria,”she said.

Abacha was no looter .

America hated Abacha because he cannot be controlled and he turned away World Bank and IMF

This is the simple truth.
Then Dasuki / GEJ are no looters.
Buhari is only wants to ride on their downfall cos he hates them.

That is only if the loots will be looted again if it is returned, but if the present government is not looting, then the money should not be blocked
