Ofcourse there is: stop being sentimental. Vote for Buhari. He is the only man remaining on the side of the people. He could as well join them, remain quiet and take his share. He has refused to join them. Yet common people refuse to see this while looters join forces to fight and denigrade his name.

since when has Buhari been on the side of the people. The same man who doesn't mind joining forces with ''Tinubu''? Or is Tinubu no longer in ACN? Or are there not ACN senators in the national assembly? Puhhleezzz!!!! Enough of this Buhari nonsense. Tunde Idiagbon was assassinated and Buhari was spared because Idiagbon was the one fighting corruption. Now the man is taking credit for what he didn't do. Afterall all he did then was try to put Nigeria's name on the list of islamic countries.

Did you mean his character was assassinated? Idiagbon died naturally in 1999.

who are they there to make law for. Having pen robber as law maker; It's by divine intervention we will experience good things in this Country. For Some of us who are fun of speaking against Mr. President. Those senator are not there by Mr. President. We should remember that we voted them into power, they belong to different constituency. Pls stop speaking evil against President of what he knew nothing about. President did not wrong to put him there as committee chairman, as well as you who voted him to power. Stop the insult because God judgment is righteous.

Alxmyr: 'Armed Robber and rogues are in states and National Assembly, what sort of laws do they make?'

They make laws that suit Armed Robbers and Rogues.

Pennywise: A weak and inept leader is by far more dangerous than a tyrant. I hope we still have a country at the end of Jonathan's miserable tenure.

we need to pass a law that will give death sentence to these corrupt people at the helms of affairs,shikena!

BlackPikiN: ^^^^That should be signed to law.

Who ll sign it into law? is it the president, vice or national Assembly members that are neck deep in corruption? Dont think so

Gangster! B4 nko? Do u guys really have leaders? The criminals capitalize on ur psychotic delusions to toy with ur lives.

Like they rightly say,people deserves the leaders they get.

please Mr Ghana, can you lend us JJ Rawlings?

Honestly, I am tempted to agree with you.
How else are we going to deal with this scourge?
My father is a pensioner: he, like most of his fellow pensioners, is shell shocked at the way some government officials handle matters that have to do with retired folk.

Beaf: Can we not simply shoot these people?

If Boko Haram will just focus and concentrate on killing these thieves,many people will even join them.Nigeria is a den of thieves,and we celebrate thieves!Of all past Governors that EFCC has taken to court,even oil subsidy thieves,how many people have they jailed.Charles Tailor was sentenced 2day,but if it Nigeria,he would have been set free.James Ibori was set free in Nigeria here,but only 4 a British court to nab and jail him.Boko Haram pls just go after these thieves,only them,and Nigerians shall sing your praises!

In another week this matter would have been swept under the carpet further emboldening public officials in their relentless assault on the Nigerian state and her people.

But let no one forget that name Senator Etuk who scammed the state and his fellow senators. This is also one of the many scams involving Farida Waziri. I am sure there will be more coming out in the open very soon.

You sir, are a prophet!

I am glad u reawakened this thread at a time shameless religious and political figures are trying to stop Buhari from looking into how badly Jonathan misruled Nigeria. A govt of scandals that never should have been.

Nigerians expect these criminals to be held accountable. only Buhari can do this. if he doesn't, another Jonathan is coming to wreak even more havoc.

suddenly can of worms are opening.and some people will still wail witch hunting I guess

BlackPikiN:
Sani Shu’aibu Teidi, [size=25pt]one of the suspects standing trial before the Federal High Court, Abuja, for the massive looting of the pension treasury, has alleged that he and other accomplices paid the Senator Aloysius Etuk-led Senate Committee a N3bn bribe in dollars.[/size]

The bribe, it was alleged, was to stall the prosecution of the accused persons.

The bribe scandal took another dimension following the mentioning of the name of the immediate past chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mrs Farida Waziri, who allegedly working with the mindset that the Senate Committee would make good its promise of stalling the case of the accused persons, also got a property located at Parakou Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja, as bribe.

The principal suspect further alleged that the Senator Aloysius Etuk-led committee failed to fulfil an earlier promise of helping to stall their prosecution after collecting the N3bn contributory bribe.

LEADERSHIP gathered that the allegations are already causing ripples within the Senate committee.

[size=20pt]A source close to the principal accused, Dr. Teidi, said that the cause of the disaffection within the Senate committee was borne out of the discovery that, out of the N3bn obtained as bribe from the six accused, Senator Etuk attempted to outsmart his colleagues by declaring only N500million, a paltry one-sixth of the actual bribe he allegedly collected and also participated in the sharing.

The source added that Dr. Teidi and other accomplices paid the Sen. Etuk-led committee the N3bn bribe in dollars after Teidi was coerced into giving details of his assets/ properties, with the promise to soften the severity of his offence, after which he was asked to give out 50 per cent to them.

An obviously angry Dr. Teidi “felt betrayed by the Senate committee leadership’s greed and inability to properly handle our (the accused persons’) matter before” it, our source added, and he therefore resolved to make public all information on the botched agreement.

“In fact, the N3bn bribe offered the senate committee was contributed by all the accused persons, each with the amount of N500million. The committee made us believe that when we give the money being demanded, it will give us a safe landing, thereby escaping prosecution, but, to our greatest dismay, they only succeeded in cutting their own share,” the source quoted Dr. Teidi.[/size]

According to the source who pleaded anonymity, trouble started when the deputy chairman of the committee, Senator Kabiru Gaya got wind of the exact sum offered by the accused from an independent source, who is also his kinsman, a former director of the Police Pension Board and incidentally a relation of one of the accused standing trial before the Abuja Court and confronted Senator Etuk with his findings.

[size=20pt]The accused director, who hails from the same constituency with the Kano State-born Senator, alleged that he used his own pension loot to buy substantial shares in one of the national dailies, and was said to have approached Gaya to know why their case was yet to be quashed as promised after availing them of the N3bn bribe as requested – a disclosure which shocked the committee’s vice chairman.[/size]

The matter took a turn for the worse with Senator Etuk denying the charge levelled against him by the suspects, and other members allegedly lost confidence in him.

The Senator however did not pick the repeated calls made to his phone and neither did he respond to LEADERSHIP’s text messages which sought clarification over the matter.

[size=20pt]Senator Etuk had urged the EFCC, the police and other anti-graft agencies to investigate the allegation against him and his committee, claiming that it was the chairman of the task force team who had been trailing the committee with bribe offer to influence the pension scam investigation.
[/size]
He was quoted to have said that obtained evidence and fact would speak for itself when his committee’s report was submitted to the Senate, not the sentiment of a desperate fellow whose fraud and corrupt act has been exposed. “The committee never and will never request for bribe,” he said.

We are watching them in 3D

This is 2015, this case should be reopened.

As you rightly predicted, Jonathan balkanized Nigeria; Buhari will prove to everyone who chastised you at the time that to abate corruption, it is a function of the leader's approach. Stunned that this serious case remains inconclusive 3 years after despite the weighty allegations (Farouk Lawan also comes to mind).

This open confession is more of a case closed scenario for the original accused persons, no need spending federal funds in prosecuting them. They should just be sentenced. The secondary offenders who are alleged to have received gratification to stall the trial should be immediately docked and made to also dance "ayangba" to the music!

Well said. There were a number of counter arguments at the time but none of them was worthy of my response so I do not consider myself as being chastised. For example an iidiot tried to argue that Jonathan had no culpability in failing to ensure diligent prosecution of these crooks. How does one respond to that?

EFCC and the Judiciary remain enemies of the people. Bf Buhari makes any effort to fight corruption, he must ensure they are properly sterilized bc right now they are septic and contagious.
