God Bless You @ Whynotthetruth

The reason Buhari is backtracking his probe on these men may not be unconnected to the fact that he benefitted directly or indirectly from the Haliburton deal through Sani Abacha, his former boss and benefactor. It could also be that he had an agreement with the cabals for them to use these stolen funds to navigate him to power. Also recall that Buhari had given Abacha a Certificate of Sainthood.

The PDP has already urged Grandpa to go ahead a d probe the administration of former President, GEJ. Let him go ahead and probe it.

It will be almost suicidal for PMB to go ahead and probe the above mentioned scandal. He just can't do it. The network of corruption in Nigeria is so deep and sprawling that a mere mention of certain names will bring this guy's administration to its kneels...forget all the voiced support from the APC supporters..they will go missing when the furnace is ready. He's not a fool to probe the same thieves who worked tirelessly to ensure he made it to Aso Rock. Almost all those who killed this nation are now broom wavers grin cheesy cheesy....

[quote author=Whynotthetruth post=36234429][b]Several conflicting statements from Buhari/APC posit them as being confused, dubious, vindictive, and also talks too much...They won election through lies and propaganda... and now wants to apply same strategy to governance...Examine the facts below;

1) Buhari said he will probe nobody before election; http://thenationonlineng.net/buhari-i-wont-probe-past-govts/

2)Buhari says he's reopening Halliburton case prior to his US visit: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/182m-halliburton-scandal-buhari-orders-preparation-of-case-file/#sthash.0a7efsUx.dpuf

4)Buhari says he will probe and prosecute only Jonathan administration...how about Halliburton scandal fund?; http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/187120-buhari-will-probe-jonathans-govt-only-not-obasanjos-others presidency.html?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter

5)Note that America has given prosecution of Halliburton scandal perpetrators as ONLY condition for release of over $140million already recovered. So does Buhari want to dash America that money already recovered?

6)Remember Buhari has boasted he will prosecute ANY corrupt official irrespective of party affiliation or status...

7)Article below may interest you too...[/b] July, 24 2015...

Early last month when it was public knowledge that Presidential Mohammadu Buhari would be visiting the United States, the already killed and buried Halliburton bribery scandal case was exhumed. I decided to use the word killed and buried because prior to that time, nothing was heard about it. Effort of the last administration of
Goodluck Jonathan to look into the matter was only perfunctory and the only person indicted then was Bodunde Adeyanju, a former Personal Assistant (PA) on Domestic Affairs to former President Olusegun Obasanjo. The PA, as usual with our dear country when there are lots of interests at play, only got a slap on the wrist and
was told to go and sin no more.But exhumed the matter was, as the president planned his US visit. [b]The information then was that, the US government was willing to refund the $140million recovered if only the Buhari government would begin prosecution of people indicted in Nigeria. In the US, former Vice President Dick Cheney was indicted because he was Halliburton CEO before becoming America’s second citizen. He was later cleared when Halliburton worked out a settlement of $35 million. The linchpin in the bribery scandal, Jeffery Tesler was also jailed 21 months and has since finished his term. The company itself was punished. The only place where not much effort was made in punishing most of the people allegedly indicted was in Nigeria.

The president’s visit to the US has since been concluded, I however cannot say whether the issue came up, but I suspect it did since the US government said it would help Nigeria in recovering all our stolen wealth and the Halliburton’s money is part of such.

However, my concern is the alleged condition given by the American government on the return of our money – that President Buhari should prosecute all the people
indicted.[/b] The president has vowed to tackle corruption. He has promised that no one would be spared even if any member of his party, the All Progressives Congress was involved. He has equally said he would probe the past administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan. Though the former president has said he should extend the probe beyond his tenure. He (Jonathan) probably had his reason for saying that especially considering what we already know. But would President Buhari be able to do this? I am especially concerned about Nigeria’s or the Halliburton’s bribery cash lying in the US. It would help the country, no doubt if this money comes back, especially now that the country is in dire financial strait.

But I have my fears whether those indicted would ever be brought to justice. Like some friends on social media argued, bringing those people allegedly indicted would
disrupt a lot of things. Their fear is understandable considering those involved. Some of them are people who played very prominent roles in the victory of President Buhari in the last election. A list on social media includes such names as Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar and Chief Don Etiebet, a former minister who both allegedly had $37.5 million hanging on them
and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, his then Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former NNPC helmsmen, Biodun Kupolokun and Gaius Obaseki, with $74million said to be tied around their waists. Others equally indicted are former Head of State, late General Sani Abacha who was believed to have collected about $40million, Chief Dan Etete, $2.5million, former Inspector General of Police, Late MD Yusuf, $75,000. The case of Yusuf was however controversial as the bribe money was given to him when he was no longer the chairman of the board of the Liquefied Natural Project that was in charge of the project at the time and was not in position to influence anything. It was even alleged then that he received the money from the Chagour brothers in London as a gift for shopping. He was chairman of the companies in which the brothers also had interest.

A social commentator and Nigeria’s coordinator at the Natural Resource Governance Institute at the time, Dauda Garuba described the scandal thus:“In terms of the personalities and the amount of money involved it is probably the biggest scandal in Nigeria’s history,”

Would the president then move against these set of people? I doubt whether that is possible. [b]Apart from the wider implications, it would create enmity for President
Buhari at this early stage of the administration in the camps of these powerful people who are his ‘friends’ and associates.[/b]Though these people worked for the president which led to his victory, they will not hesitate to overturn the applecart and work against the president. One of the factors that worked in favour of the president during the campaign and which has always endeared him to most Nigerians is the fact of his honesty, incorruptibility, courage and most importantly, his love for this country and his desire to bring back the lost glory, would this play out now?

Would the president summon that courage to follow through and prosecute these powerful people and begin the major step in ridding the country of what I call corruption infestation. It is when he does this that his name would then be written in gold. Not only that, it would set the nation on the path of rectitude and rebirth.

$182m Halliburton Scandal: Buhari orders preparation of case-file

As President Muhammadu Buhari travels to the United States (US) today to engage President Barack Obama in talks on economic, security, financial and anti-graft issues, it has emerged that he has ordered the preparation of the case-file that would lead to the prosecution of the indicted persons in the $182 million Halliburton bribery scandal.

Sunday Vanguard gathered that the President’s directive followed the requirement by the US government of evidence to show that Buhari was ready to prosecute the suspects in Nigeria for their roles in the bribery scandal before it could partner other European countries in releasing the $141million dollars allegedly looted from Nigeria and lodged in various overseas banks.

According to top security sources, Buhari, based on the outcome of investigations by the panel set up to look into the scandal, is scheduled to tell Americans officials during this week’s visit that all those indicted, including former Heads of State, a former Vice President, two former Group Managing Directors of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, will face prosecution to defend themselves.

To further convince the US officials that the kangaroo trial that took place during the Jonathan administration, which saw a former Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs to the President being arraigned and then let off the hook following alleged connivance of certain government institutions, will not re-occur, the President will tell them that private legal practitioners, who cannot compromise because of past government patronage, will be commissioned to handle the case.

It will be recalled that the recent directive by Buhari to reopen the Halliburton bribery case led to the discovery that the $26.5 million plea bargain money released by the oil servicing firm as part of efforts to shield the company from prosecution was not in any government account.
