Re: Would You Support Buhari To Probe Tinubu? by Gbawe: 12:34pm On Jan 12, 2016
@OP.

What would the probe be based on? Tinubu's tenure as governor of Lagos which ended in 2007? Or his position as an APC leader with no direct control of any Nigerian public office? Did Tinubu collect money from Dasuki or was he given pipeline protection contract by GEJ? When Buhari is not probing former leaders of the PDP that controlled and looted the centre for 16 years it is Tinubu who had never been a member of a ruling Party that should be probed?

You guys cannot simply be mentioning Tinubu because he is your favourite bogeyman and you want him 'dealt with' by all means. Whether you like it or not the truth is that Buhari ,as President of Nigeria, is more concerned with recent official looting of the federal government. That is what Buhari is focusing on and he therefore has no reason to probe Tinubu.

Tinubu is an astute businessman and a very calculative politician.
I can't say he's not corrupt but the fact that he was in opposition for 16 years and the ruling party couldn't nail him with the supposed corrupt practices speaks volume of those regimes.
Success of Buhari's fight against corruption will never be defined by investigating Tinubu. Buhari has no moral reason to do that.

Because someone hasn't been jailed for a crime doesn't exonerate that person from the court of public opinion.
Like I said Babangida has never been indicted, but his source of wealth is suspicious knowing the salaries of present or past leaders.

What exactly do you want Buhari to probe Tinubu for? The man has not held a public office since 2007. If it Tinubus wealth and influence that bothers you then I should ask if you also want Buhari to investigate every single wealthy businessman/private citizen who is involved in politics in Nigeria yet has nothing to do with a Nigerian public office and no direct link to obtaining looted FG money?

Are you saying Buhari should go after those sort and ignore those, like Dasuki and Allison-Madueke, who used their public office to loot Nigeria horrendously and directly? If he did you will be first to shout dictator and argue those folks are merely being persecuted for their wealth and political affiliation !!!! Sometimes you guys should try to shun bias-driven emotions and sentiments because such make your argument seem unreasonable.

Why are people so naive

By law, the EFCC has d power to question any amount of money, wealth or properties of an individual. I.e if EFCC finds 1 Billion Nara in your account, or finds out that u have Billions worth of investment and Properties, they have d legal right to ask u how u get those wealth and if cannot substantially convince them How u got the wealth, the said Money will be termed illegally acquired and therefore transferred to the State(FG).

I keep laughing @ people who says that no petition has been written about this APC rugs turned saint, what happened to the glaring account balance of this individuals, Investments, Properties, thank God for BVN All your account are now linked to u.

Well-said. Nigerians, because of innate bias and a tendency to look at everything sentimentally, fail to see what Tinubu is which is, as you stated exactly, an astute businessman and a very calculative politician. What typified Tinubu for me as a person who covers his back and always 'stays tight' was the political Party auditors report of a few years ago that showed the then ACN was virtually the only major political Party that complied with every single aspect of the law as far as book-keeping and auditing is concerned. PDP was found to be woefully wanting and derelict in its responsibility to file accounts and provide relevant information. Even Buhari's CPC was found wanting.

The moral of the story is that we should all be inspired by a man who studies systems so well and works legitimately to benefit from said system whereas others cut corners and simply disregard the law. The ACN could have been a lawless party like others and even the strict Buhari could not control the slackness of his CPC. Yet the fact APC shone as the most accountable major Party in Nigeria should show some they are better understudying Tinubu than hating him. Tinubu has the awareness and talent to ensure even the smallest details were not ignored when Buhari did. This does not make Buhari bad. It simply means Tinubu is exemplary and misses nothing. In short a master of the game.

Forumites should see for themselves. Being emotional gets us nowhere in life and it will prevent us from learning from characters like Tinubu. We should ask ourselves why Tinubu ensured the APC is praised below in lawless Nigeria where it is far easier to circumvent the law, especially if you are influential, than obey it. Tinubu has survived and thrived for so long because he does everything within the law while others just don't "give a damn" as GEJ announced. Good luck trying to probe Tinubu.

https://www.nairaland.com/1238009/pdp-cpc-anpp-others-violate

The indicted
Among the major parties indicted by the Commission’s auditors are the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP; Congress for Progressive Change, CPC; All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA; and the Labour Party, LP.

[size=14pt]Only the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN; and the Citizens Popular Party, CPP; escaped INEC’s hammer as they were found to have complied with the Political Party Financial Reporting Manual 2011 and Political Party Finance Handbook 2011.
ACN, in particular, was found to have maintained internal audit report and account as well as conventional books of accounts during the year under review. The auditors also said that budget and budgetary control of the opposition party were in place and that the party has a well defined fixed asset register while its membership register was in place.
[/size]

On PDP, the audit report said, “The party does not have a prepared internal audited financial statement for the year.” It also noted that “Conventional books of accounts were not properly kept as required by Section 93 (2) of the Electoral Act” and “the Party did not maintain fixed assets register both at the Headquarters and Zonal offices.”

It is not really about it being recent. Remember Buhari said he will let bygones be bygones. He has actually done that and has not probed the last admin based on BUDGETED funds. He got there with the knowledge that some money was recovered from Abacha, money that was not BUDGETED, not appropriated for, he discovered it has been spent. That is what the guy is presently probing and some people will still complain, at least he has left the one they 'chopped' from the budget for them.

What people do not understand is that Tinubu is the one politician in Nigeria that typifies the saying "don't hate, appreciate". Meaning you may dislike someone but you must admire how they conduct their affairs to saty on top and be exemplary winners. As I showed above, the PDP, APGA and even Buhari's CPC fell short of auditing standards. ACN was the only major Party singled out as exemplary. When someone goes out of his way to be that legitimate and compliant with the law always, in a nation of absolute lawlessness typified by the reckless abandon of the then ruling Party i.e the PDP, it is obvious some could learn lessons from Tinubu they can use to make a success of their own lives. For what Nigeria is, Tinubu is very special in my opinion.

That is not the point. It is more pertinent to ask if any reason exists for you to be probed. I cannot just ask for your probe because I hate your personal success or ethnic group when it is obvious you have not done anything to warrant the probe I am asking for. What should Tinubu be probed for? If it is the nonsensical "he is very rich" argument then how many very rich men/women in Nigeria should be probed and where will Buhari begin or end his probe?
