All this report shows is that Nigeria completely lacks any semblance of judicial independence. It should not be in the power of the President - any President, not just Buhari - to "order" a branch of the government to prosecute (or refrain from prosecuting) anybody whatsoever. There is a manifest conflict of interest there which any properly functioning system of governance will bend over backwards to avoid.

The violation of this very principle of keeping the legal system at arm's length from the presidency is why US President Richard Nixon had to resign from office before being impeached (after the Saturday Night Massacre when he tried to stop the Watergate investigation), it is the reason why former Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from anything to do with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election, and it is the exact same reason why US Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller as Special Counsel to investigate Trump - the sitting President of the United States - for obstruction of justice after Trump fired FBI chief Jim Comey. None of this would have been possible in a banana republic like Nigeria, where it's up to the President to decide who gets prioritized for investigation and who doesn't.

While I'm not singling out Buhari for blame here - the structural issues at work were already in place well before he came to office - what I do blame him for (as well as those who criticize him) is his inability to see that the problem with corruption of justice in Nigeria is a systemic one: it's not enough for Buhari's haters to claim he is the devil while GEJ was (allegedly) a Nigerian Nelson Mandela if they can't see that the problem is his having any discretion or influence over the legal process at all. Similarly, no number of prosecutions or EFCC investigations under Buhari will ever make a difference in the long run if the decision to investigate and/or prosecute remains so highly politicized. The only lesson the investigated and prosecuted will learn under such a system is that they better make sure not to lose any future elections, even if that requires massive rigging and voter intimidation.

In short, all of you who have responded to this story so far have missed the wood for the trees: an even bigger scandal than that involving the NFF is how a President has any say at all in the legal process around the purported fraud.

Thank you! You're the only other person who has seen the real problem here, which is that the "independence" of the EFCC is a joke.

Good administrator but just cannot defend himself against the disease ravaging Nigeria for generations, corruption. This is the story of Nigeria. A system, a country that consumes its citizens and spoils the best of her fruits. Only restructuring can truly change this sad narrative.

Explains the desperation to become NFF president so all sins remain buried.

Don't mind him. After getting presidential support to remain as NFA chairman, he wants to be an emperor in PMB republic.
Hope FIFA non interference rule does not cover
cases of corruption.

even u 2 pinnick

Did you read the article. No where was he indicted. Investigation is still ongoing to indict him. His name was not mentioned as one of those charged to court. I just have a feeling this is done to remove him and install the minister's man, Chris Giwa.

he who comes to equity must come with clean hands.. apparntly your cinc hands are dirty...you are the one who looks ignorant like burnaboy said. the person you quoted wasnt saying picnik should not be investigated. he is asking why does the president decide to prosecute whoever he feels like prosecuting and leave others especially people from the north which makes it very tribalistic in nature even if its not his intention?

Nice one from Bubu and EFCC if this is correct. But Bubu, I'm sorry to bother you at a time like this; Gandollar nkor, when are you going to give orders his prosecution?


Beautiful! Are you saying that if Buhari is re-elected President and Gandollar loses his re-election, Bubu would order his arrest and prosecution? Because that's seemingly unlikely to happen
somebody has helped you out of your ignorance and you are still asking him what will happen in future. Will the marry wife for you and still impregnate her for you?

Hopefully they can't, but if FIFA thinks it is government interference, a ban might be likely

There is no interference in criminal matters. And this particular FIFA has less tolerance for corruption than its predecessor. The Deputy Sec. Gen. will simply take charge and the administration continues. Interference means the whole organisation been outlawed by the host country's government. This is not the case.

As far is a Southerner, Buhari will be very active in the allegation. But his Northern brothers are looting the country dry on daily basis nothing has been done to any of them. The DG of NHIS was alleged to have embezzled public funds , prompting his suspension by the minister of health, the same Buhari ordered for his reinstatement. Keep dividing the country under the guise of fighting corruption. Is just a matter of time, this soon shall come to pass.

Amaju Pinnick should've just focused on the CAF job which is loftier than the NFF's. Now, the sports minister who clearly doesn't like him and Giwa are about to have the last laugh.

Anyways, FIFA won't hesitate to slam Nigeria with sanctions should there be govt interference

Even on matters of corruption? The U.S FBI investigated, arrested and successfully prosecuted many national,regional and FIFA officials on 2015 on account of fraud

Gandollar doesn't need prosecution at this time cos of immunity but immunity doesn't stop EFCC from investigating him. In d NFF story, u will c that it is on d basis of investigation carried out that pinnick is going 2b prosecuted. 4 gandollar, EFCC will just behave like they don't no what's going on

I Wonder why Igbos always bring tribalism into Every thing, They always cry fowl when their tribeman is being punish or prosecute for something he is guilty off, Why can't you direct all the hate on your tribeman that's part of this country problem and leave Buhari and his Northmen alone to face their own problem ? Must you bring tribalism into everything? It is not like he is falsely accuse, That's how they will finish Biafra Oil Money and Treasury Goodluck thief his own and his Wife too
