naptu2: Consequence: Alamieyeseigha can now contest elections (he is no longer an ex-convict).

Symphony007: Before this padon was annouced where do you think alameshia was? Langushing in kiri kiri prison? He has been a free man since, no one asked anything about him but now because the presidency is openely padoning him, some fools here are feining outrage. Obasanjo's buddies victor attah, peter odili, achike udenwa and many others are all at large today enjoying their loot which dwarfs whatever this man took from a state whoes riches cannot be compared to the guys state mentioned above. But because he fell out with the God father and was punished. Where is the outrage from you guys against the fat cats who stole more than this man ever taught to but where loyal to the godfather. Alams is the scapegoat. The gift that keeps on giving.....nigeria has an incredibly long way to go!

manmade: obviously u don't know the meaning of C in C in a democractic setting. Pls try to upgrade ur knowledge.

manmade: . This is a very wrong comparison. The constitution did not provides for the above action, if it does as is the case in the action taken by the C of S in accordance with section 175 of CFRN 1999 as Amended then it would have been a lawful action and no reasonably man will have a legal ground to challenge it,afterall GEJ is not the Author of CFRN 1999

mko abiola: It wasn't GEJ dat unlaterally grant dem state pardon ,it was agreed by d council of state which included former president ,y lamblasting GEJ.get it right.

sweet_gala:
I would like to believe I am not the subject you referred to .

Ile-Ife:
Seriously? why won't boko-Elders ask for amnesty?

Who were the male and female pig (sic) that fertilized me into this world??

jidelekan: Go and steal no more

ifihearam:

Let me educate your ignorance my dear boy,Turai was never in the helm of affairs rather it was the likes of James Ibori and saraki who was using her to achieve their objectives,yes his excellency was kept in the dark during and after the demise of his late boss but when it was THEN and THEN alone,he was consulted and he too back the baton of leadership. Where is turai today? Where is james today? Do you know tht saraki begged his arze off before his excellency forgave him. Please don't ever take the gentility of a tiger for cowardice,GEJ can be slow in decision making but never a fool. Take note

BlueMurder: GEJ has by this ignoble action, formally endorsed corruption in Nigeria. Just when you think he could do no worse.... He has also rendered EFCC, ICPC & CCB totally useless.

wirinet:

If it wasn't GEJ that unilaterally granted them (Alams) state pardon, then who nominated them? What criteria was used for the nominations. How was the decision to grant state pardon arrived at? Was it by vote or was each name read out and the Ayes has it under a voice vote.

When you say members of the council of state, who were the members present? Was OBJ there to agree to pardon Alams? Was Buhari there? What of IBB and abdulsalami?

To me the pardoning of Alams was basically a unilateral decision by GEJ, under the cover of council of state.

So what of Tafa Balogun and Cecilia Ibru, are they not eligible for pardon also as their cases is very similar to that of Alams.

take dat: GEJ keeps taking cluelessness to brazen new levels of astonishment. A corruption-friendly president celebrating criminals! Fresh Air

Wale Leemson: I am disappointed in GEJ. he is encouraging corruption. God save Nigeria

BeraBera:
This was not a decision taken by GEJ alone, it was a decision of the Council of State, made up of even you "corruption-free" past presidents and state governors. Even the title of this threads misleading. It is not FG that pardoned them, but rather the council of state

Bash Me:

Sorry to say dis but i fink u shud shut dat trap. So because he didnt make it all alone does dat now mean dat he shud allow his name and public trust to be dragged in d mud d way he they did now? I thought he claimed he was a lecturer, hw come he can't differentiate bad from good?

Demdem:

Don't be deceived by these fools talking rubbish. The retardeen and his govt brought up the agenda to be delibrated and not the members. Of council.
The daft president conceived it, loved it and brought it up for adoption. Besides its on record that during his time, it happened.
Am not surprise at all. It's simply the same continuation of padi padi govt he epitomised when he was governor of bayelsa.

Bash Me:

I can't agree more, dat mumu babe was jes saying nonsense. i feel it is only BUHARI dat can clean up dis mess truly, cos there's no new person dat will take over today dat won't be influenced by des corrupt leaders. was dat not d same way d so called retard-Jonathan came dat ppl started saying he's new and cud turn d table around 4 gud... what has he now done since he assumed office? thank God i gave Buhari d support and will still continue doing dat
