GenBuhari:
Abacha never looted

If the APC did not welcome or try to woo Mohamed Abacha into their fold and forced him to aligned with the PDP, (I am speculating I do not know whether APC rejected Mohamed or not oo!) then APC have just given away the Kano Governorship to the PDP.

General Sani Abacha was a son of Kano, and they know more than anybody else that Abacha was unfairly demonised and discredited. Mohamed Abacha would sweep to power in Kano in which ever political party he runs under.

How could he have looted? All those money being returned to Nigeria was borrowed from you i guess. Some of you just sound as if you're talking to illiterates in your village.

Don't believe everything your read or hear from the corrupt and dishonest news media. Abacha never looted there is overwhelming evidence to prove he could not have looted.

[size=13pt]Is it not this same Abacha's son Buhari used as CPC candidate in 2011?

He even told the whole world that Abacha did not steal any money. APC are a bunch hypocrites [/size]

On the contrary CPC stopped Mohammed a\Abacha from picking the ticket in 2011 and he subsequently decamped to PDP where they are comfortable with looters. check Muazu the current PDP chairman with EFCC hanging on his neck. they are all forgiven by GEJ through his attorney general Adoke who ensures their will no diligent prosecution or dripped charges altogether

GenBuhari:
Why do you think America, World Bank, European countries are only discovering "Abacha loot"?

Are there no other person in Nigeria with loot in foreign banks?

Have you ever thought about the reason that might be?

Does it not show that World Bank and those Western countries are dishonest and corrupt?

Does the fact that World Bank and all these Western countries are encourage looters to hide loot in their banks, not show they are dishonest and corrupt?

So what why automatically assume that Abacha looted just because these dishonest and corrupt countries and World Bank claim, in collusion with our dishonest and corrupt PDP governments to be returning "Abacha loot"?

Do you know that the same World Bank that has played a big role in helping to persuade us and the world that Abacha looted was offering Abacha all sorts of ruinous loans but Abacha rejected all their loans.

Tell me why a head of state that is intent on looting would refuse Billions of Dollars of IMF and World Bank Loans ?

Think about that.

I will stop for now.

I agree that the Wold Bank and Paris CLub etc; Are just a bunch of White Supremacists that focus on destroying mineral rich nations with debt. So are you saying that those Billions of dollas in off shore accounts are legitimate funds. Are you now telling me that Abacha is innocent. I can start a separate thread where we can debate this issue in full. If it is true that the money they are confiscating is genuine sweat how come they have not come forward in outrage?

The money they label "Abacha loot", if indeed it actually existed (and there has been no evidence that any returned loot ever entered our treasury coffers) has nothing to do with Abacha. We do not know who stashed the money away. It could be money stashed by Abacha's accusers the evil looter IBB or his cousin and sidekick Abdulsalami Abubakar or Thief Obasanjo.

A serving PDP Senator for Kebbi State by the name of Abubakar Bagudu who was sponsored by IBB when he was Head of State to serve in the World Bank, was likely hired by IBB and Thief O. to claim as he did, that he was a 50% business partner to Abacha and that he and Abacha looted together.

So everything Bagudu says or does in court is attributed to Abacha family and associates in news reports. But usually is just reported as Abacha family. Bagudu attended courts in Switzerland , London etc. claiming he looted various sums with Abacha but when the news report is written Mr Bagudu name is rarely mentioned all you hear is Abacha family, who incidentally have never been given an opportunity to attend any of these foreign court cases.

The Swiss court document show that the funds they claim to return to Nigeria could be returned without Thief Obasanjo's Nigeria having to prove who looted the money. That the onus was on the accused to prove otherwise. Of course with Bagudu claiming he looted with Abacha and Abacha being deceased and unable to clear his name, it is then reported on the news that Abacha loot is being returned.

agabaI23:
But the guy you are routing for said the father was not corrupt and you also say he is incorruptible.

Technically, do you punish a son for his father's offence?

Rationalizing Abacha loot just because Jonathan got enmeshed in the middle. Don't tell me you are not aware Mohamed is keeping the loot in his personal account and that is a crime in itself

agabaI23:
His father was not supposed to be poor after being a president ? He can argue that he inherited money that was legitimately earned by his father and that the stolen money has been returned the federal govt.

Why is it that no one is crying foul because people are consulting Obasanjo, IBB? Are they any better than Moh'd? What about Atiku who is even a presidential candidate? If we are being serious, should the so called progressive have accepted him into their fold let alone give him a nomination form? Let's turn the card over, and assume he was the APC governorship candidate, I'm sure he would be tagged a progressive....

You are a real dummy and your education was a wasted investment

Truckpusher:
Loud mouthed she goat,is Abacha's son now evil ?
Show me when and where he was arraigned for anything?

Na wah o! so you were yet to learn reading an writing when he was arraigned with Al-mustafa for Kudirat Abiola's murder or the court cases on money laundering for his father which Jonathan's attorney-general has now refused to prosecute further.

Too many teenagers seem to be prowling nairaland this days.

GenBuhari:
A pity you couldn't have waited till after the elections to return

So you still support GEJ after witnessing his performance

Regarding Abacha loot:
All I can say is you mustn't believe everything you read or hear in he news.

Will you stop riduculing yourself on this forum, if their was no loot why is Mohamed cutting deals to keep some and give up some. What of all the highrise buildings in Lagos and Abuja seized from the Abacha family.
You are simply dancing on the graves of Nigerians who died as a result the crass looting under Abacha. Throughout his five years in government can you mention one power plant, refinery, or new major expressway or new University that was constructed? That is why all the looted money was available as nothing was being done than paying civil service salaries.

Don't believe everything you read.

Mohamed Abacha never cut any deals and no buildings were seized from Abacha family they never had any buildings that they did not acquire legitimately through hard work;

Thief Obasanjo is a known compulsive liar and our news media in Nigeria is corrupt and dishonest.

And i should believe you as who? You are more credible than all the local and world press? Even the surviving Abacha family members never denied any of the news of recovered loot.

The local and western press are dishonest and corrupt.

It is as simple as that. I have researched the issue of "Abacha loot" for about 3 years and have amassed overwhelming evidence that Abacha did not loot and that his accusers (Thief Obasanjo, IBB via his sidekick Abdulsalami Abubakar who are the biggest looters in history) are liars -which surprises nobody.

Very interesting and plausible. Anything you can share regarding this information a book or link supporting your theory?

According to the following article Mr Abubakar Bagudu was claiming to be 50% business partners to Abacha's son not Abacha himself.

Abubakar Bagudu appeared before a judge in Geneva for three days, last year. Here is what he told the court on 30 September, 1999.

''I am Abubakar Bagudu, a Nigerian citizen, born in Gwandu, in the northern part of the country in 1961. I belong to the Hausa tribe, one of the three major ethnic groups in the country. I first had compulsory primary education in Gwandu, then I studied economics in the University of Sokoto from 1979 to 1983. I then went to another university in Jos from 1988 to 1989, where I obtained my degree in economics. I was an assistant lecturer in the University of Sokoto between 1985 and 1989. Between 1983 and 1984, I did my NYSC for one year. From 1989 to 1991, I worked for Nigeria International Bank in Lagos.

I then went to Columbia University in New York from 1992 to 1993 where I obtained a master's degree in International Business.

In 1993 after my master's degree, I worked for six months in the World Bank in Washington. I wish to state that my master's degree was sponsored by the World Bank. In 1993, I came back to Nigeria. I engaged myself in consulting and international trade with my partner Mr. Ibrahim Turaki. We registered a company under the name EPCEL Ltd., Lagos. We represented the French company Pasteur Merieux Connaught. We were importing machinery.

Up till now, we are still in business and I maintain a home in Lagos, even though I now spend most of my time in London.

Mr. Ibrahim Turaki and I have stopped working for EPCEL Ltd., which we sold in 1995. In February 1994, Mr. Ibrahim Sani Abacha, eldest son of former head of state, General Sani Abacha, joined my partner and I to form the company, Morgan Procurement Corporation, Lagos, among others. We were mostly importing vaccines. One of the companies we established is Mecosta Securities Ltd., BVI, in October 1995. We intended to engage in debt recovery and arbitration between creditors and debtors. At the inception of Mecosta Securities Ltd., three of us namely Mr. Ibrahim Abacha, Mr. Mohammed Sani Abacha and myself had equal shares.

Mr. Ibrahim Sani Abacha died in a plane crash in January 1996.

On that occasion, Mr. Mohammed Sani Abacha, his brother, the next in line, took up the late brother's share in Morgan Procurement Corporation. He also took over the shares in Mecosta Securities Ltd. In fact, Mr. Mohammed Sani Abacha and I became equal shareholders in the company (50% - 50%). I have never held political office in Nigeria. However, my family has always been close to power. Members of my family have never held political or public office, with the exception of my father who was a Director of Primary Education in his state, Kebbi State, my state of origin. May I remind you that Nigeria is a federation of 36 states.

Kebbi State shares a border with Benin Republic. Commercially speaking, the state is highly developed because a large quantity of goods transit through it. My elder brother, Bello Bagudu, was elected a member of the federal parliament in February 1999. He is one of the six representing Kebbi State.

Neither myself nor any other member of the extended family has occupied public or political office. As for my business partners, Mr. Ibrahim Turaki was elected governor of Jigawa State in February 1999. Mr. Mohammed Sani Abacha has never held political or public office. However, as I said earlier, he is one of the sons of the former head of state, who died in June 1998.

Talking about money, my family is one of the rich families of Nigeria. I cannot state the exact figures of my family fortune.

I can state that no member of my family needs to work to earn a living. Each member of the family is engaged in managing the family assets. As for me, I do not need to work because I have a personal fortune worth tens of millions of US Dollars, though I cannot quote an exact figure. Moreover, my only wife also has a personal fortune, which comes from her family or gifts. My wife is not a member of the Abacha family, nor does she belong to any of the families that once ruled Nigeria. If I am not mistaking, members of my wife's family occupy no public or political post. I am aware that the judge will ask me about relationship with a few individuals.

General Sani Abacha He was head of state of Nigeria between November, 1993 and June 1998, up till his death at age 57. General Abacha took power under the following circumstances:

Following June 1993 elections organised by former head of state, General Babangida, a civilian president was elected namely Mr. Abiola. The elections were annulled by General Babangida, officially due to electoral malpractices; as a result of the annulment, there were riots and disturbance of public peace in the country; as a remedy, General Babangida decided to establish a transitional government and appointed Ernest Shonekan head of state. He was overthrown by General Sani Abacha. Before being appointed head of state, General Sani Abacha was a career military officer. He was one of the five most powerful military men in the country.

I met General Sani Abacha for the first time in 1979 in his house in Kano, his native town. I was introduced to him at home, by his son, Ibrahim Sani Abacha, but anytime I met him at home, I used to greet him. He knew I was one of the friends of his son and he knew my name. I do not think he knew any other member of my family. After he assumed power, I continued to meet him in the same manner as before. At no time did I have commercial or business links with General Sani Abacha. Our discussions were strictly limited to political exchanges. After the death of Mr. Ibrahim Sani Abacha, I continued visiting the home of the general as in the past, but this time in company of Mr. Mohammed Sani Abacha. At this juncture, the general became aware of my training, asked me a few questions on the economy, but we never had any business relationship.

Mr. Ibrahim Sani Abacha As I said earlier, he was my childhood friend. I knew him when we were very young. It is possible for him to bear Alhaji instead of Mister, which, according to Islamic culture, means that Mr. Ibrahim Sani Abacha has gone on pilgrimage to Mecca.

Therefore his name can also be Alhaji Ibrahim Sani Abacha. It was Mr. Ibrahim Sani Abacha who was my friend. Mr.Mohammed Sani Abacha only came in after the death of Mr. Ibrahim Sani Abacha. Ibrahim and Mohammed Sani Abacha brothers had an international sugar company. Therefore as early as 1985, we had business links without being business partners.

As far back as February 1994, Mr. Ibrahim Sani Abacha and myself became business partners and Morgan Procurement Corporation was established thereafter. Our partnership began under the following circumstances: For several years, even before I went on course to Washington, Mr. Ibrahim Sani Abacha, had proposed that we work together; I had been refusing because before 1993, I did not want to work and, in 1993, my job in Washington took most of my interest and time; I agreed to work with Mr. Ibrahim Sani Abacha in 1994 because the latter had a huge fortune and I had a lot of ideas about how to invest or manage the fortune. At that time, my fortune was much smaller than now. Even then, I did not need to work for a living.

Between February 1994 and today, my fortune has considerably increased and a big portion of it comes from funds deposited by the Central Bank of Nigeria in favour of Mecosta Securities, in the book of Goldmann Sachs, Zurich, in April 1997.

In reply to a question from the investigating judge, I explained that there is no direct link between the rise to power of General Sani Abacha in November 1993 and the fact that I accepted in February 1994 to become the business partner of his eldest son, Mr. Ibrahim Sani Abacha. It was only coincidental. However, it is probable that the fact that my new trading partner is the son of the head of state contributed to a large extent to the expansion of our business.

I am aware that my hearing will last at least a whole day, but I am prepared to go through it. I already have appointments tomorrow, but I can easily come back to Geneva. Meanwhile, I am leaving a copy of a diagram showing the itinerary of funds, the third agreement dated 16 August 1999 signed with Nigeria, as well as the draft law negotiated between the parties and which was to be deposited with High Court of London for authentication''.

Deal on Abacha's millions 'collapses'[/size]

Reports from Switzerland say a deal on the return to Nigeria of millions of dollars deposited in Swiss banks by the late Nigerian military ruler, General Sani Abacha, has collapsed.

Swiss Justice Ministry officials are quoted as saying the deal has fallen through because General Abacha's son, Mohammed, has not signed vital legal papers releasing the money.
The extraordinary out-of-court agreement between Nigeria and General Abacha's bereaved family was reached in May.

It was agreed the general's family could keep $100 million provided that his son signed an agreement enabling foreign banks in Switzerland and elsewhere to return to Nigeria a further $1 billion of allegedly looted money.

Embarrassment

The deal was apparently linked to the release from prison this week of Mohammed Abacha, ending his three-year period behind bars on charges of embezzlement.

Suspicions that the deal might be going awry arose on Wednesday when jubilant Mohammed was quoted as saying that - despite his release - he had made no commitment to sign anything.

Now the increasingly embarrassed Swiss authorities have acknowledged that they have received no signed papers, and therefore are in no position to hand over any of the Abacha family fortune to Nigeria.

Throughout this long affair, Nigerian President Obasanjo has faced a no-win situation.

He was condemned by one side for negotiating any deal with the Abachas.

At the same time, Mr Abacha's supporters slammed the president for detaining the general's son for so long on what they say are spurious charges

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2282366.stm
[size=18pt]It now all makes sense.

Obasanjo had to release Mohammed Abacha because of pressure from powerful traditional leaders and Emirs in Kano, who had been lobbied by Abacha's widow Maryam Abacha.


It has now become clear to me that there was no deal with Abacha family, because they had no loot in foreign accounts.

Obasanjo knew that after he released Mohamed, he had to also drop  the fake legal cases in foreign  countries as he does not want Mohammed Abacha, to get a chance to expose their lies in open court.

Which is why Obasanjo never   resumed  the  prosecution after he claimed  Mohammed  Abacha had reneged  on the deal.

[size=23pt]Swiss court document on so-called "Abacha Loot" case, shows Abacha was maliciously and unjustly blamed[/size]

http://www.mcswisslaw.com/pages_e/2008%20Monfrini%20-%20The%20Abacha%20Case.pdf

[size=18pt]" The existence of a system of confiscation orders that is independent from a criminal conviction is therefore a necessity in grand corruption cases. In this context, reversing the burden of proof or imposing procedural consequences on the failure of the asset holder to cooperate regarding the origin of the assets, appear to be best legislative practice. The presumption of innocence does not necessarily apply to confiscation proceedings and ‘presumptions of fact or of law operate in every criminal-law system and are not prohibited in principle’ and therefore do not breach the right to a fair trial.28 "[/size]


[size=18pt]This is 21 page Swiss court document but the above extract is very revealing indeed.

Basically, by qualifying Abacha's family members together with PDP stooges claiming to be Abacha's business associates as a 'Criminal Organisation', Nigerian Government did not need to prove that the funds in the foreign accounts belonged to Abacha, The Onus was on Abacha to proof that he was innocent of the charges.

Of course a deceased man could not do that.

Abacha's son Mohammed could not fully challenge the allegations as he was locked up at the time by Obasanjo on trumped up charges.[/size]

Obasanjo must be superhuman during his presidency to be able to convince the Swedish ministry of justice to pose there is Abacha loot in a Swiss bank and thus waiting for his sons signature to release the money. Even outside office he was able to convince the Americans to also pose they have huge sums of discovered loot in an American bank all to help Obasanjo discredit saint Abacha. How much did Obasanjo pay them to soil whatever is left of the reputation of the Swiss ministry of Justice, and the Swiss and American banks that admitted to having the loot in their vault.
What is the benefit in this soil Abacha's name theory that 16 years after his death they are still intent on soiling the name. How much is the name itself worth that such an elaborate scheme is needed to soil it even with the wanton murder cases associated with that name?

Buhari Faults Clampdown On Boko-Haram Members by Elueme: 9:07pm On Jun 02, 2013

Former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Major General Muhammadu Buhari has faulted the federal government’s clampdown on Boko Haram Islamic insurgents.
He accused the government of killing and destroying their houses while the Niger Delta militants were given special treatment by the government.

Buhari who spoke on Sunday on a Liberty Radio programme, Guest of the Week monitored in Kaduna also admitted that the road to the registration of the All Progressive Congress (APC) was rough, pointing out that the promoters of the party were well prepared for any hitch that may arise.

Buhari who first spoke in Hausa before the English version accused politicians from the Niger Delta region of starting the current in security in the country by recruiting and arming youths of the region in their desperate attempt to retain power as governors.

The former Nigerian leader said that unlike the special treatment given to the Niger Delta militants by the federal government, the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished by government.

While accusing President Jonathan of failing from the beginning to address the security situation in the country, Buhari said he has never been in support of the state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa state.

According to Buhari “what is responsible for the security situation in the country is caused by the activities of Niger Delta militants. Every Nigerian that is familiar with what is happening knows this. The Niger Delta militants started it all.
“What happened is that the governors of the Niger Delta region at that time wanted to win their elections. So they recruited the youths and gave them guns and bullets and used them against their opponents to win elections by force.
“After the elections were over, they asked the boys to return the guns; the boys refused to return the guns. Because of that, the allowance that was being given to the youths by the governors during that time was stopped.

“The youths resorted to kidnapping oil workers and were collecting dollars as ransom. Now a boy of 18 to 20 years was getting about 500 dollars in a week, why will he go to school and spend 20 years to study and then come back and get employed by government to be paid N100,000 a month, that is if he is lucky to get employment.
“So kidnapping becomes very rampant in the South -South and the South -East. They kidnapped people and were collecting money.

“How did Boko Haram start? We know that their leader, Mohammed Yusuf started his militant and the police couldn’t control them and the army was invited. He was arrested by soldiers and handed over to the police.
“The appropriate thing to do, according to the law, was for the police to carry out investigations and charge him to court for prosecution, but they killed him, his in-law was killed, they went and demolished their houses.

“Because of that, his supporters resorted to what they are doing today. You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua sent an aeroplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they were given money and granted amnesty.

“They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north were being killed and their houses were being demolished. They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice”.
While fielding questions in English in the same programme, Buhari said that the promoters of the All Progressive Congress (APC) were aware of the challenges ahead of them in an effort to get the party registered, saying “the road to merger is quite rough.

“The ruling party, with its enormous resources and its capacity for coercion has seen it as a threat and they have said it. Personally, I came to realise since 2007 that Nigerians believe that the only way to stabilise the system of multi-party democracy is for the opposition parties that have representatives right from Councillors to the National Assembly come together to deliver their constituencies democratically. This is the only way you can counter PDP’s enormous physical and material influence in the country”

He expressed optimism that the All Progressive Congress will be registered saying “by nature, I am an optimist. If I were not an optimist, I will not attempt to contest the presidency three times and end up in the Supreme Court three times. I believe we are going to be registered.

“There is a law guiding party registration which states that you must have your headquarters in the nation’s capital that can be identified by INEC and you must have a convention. All the three parties involved have held their conventions and have agreed to forsake our existing parties and go for APC.

“At the national level, we must have those who will run the party. As soon as we meet these criteria and INEC acknowledge that, 30 days after the acknowledgement, we are APC whether INEC write us and give us the registration or not”.

Speaking on the controversy surrounding the election of the Nigeria Governors Forum, Buhari said since the forum was not a legal body, he saw no reason for the controversy saying “the confusion is unfortunate.
“To me, the Governors forum is not constitutional and it is not a party affair because they are supposed to come from all the parties. There is no constitutional law as far as I can see. So, why all these row about it.

“I watched the clip of the election which seems to have been conducted in a free and fair way. But then, Jang came and said he won the election when we saw visibly on the screen how they conducted the election.
“The man who presided over the election declared the result there and then. I was surprised how Jang emerged and said he was the one that won the election and proceeded to open his own secretariat.

“So, if 36 of them can not conduct an election, Nigerians should begin to appreciate what we are in for when they are supposed to be conducting an election for over 140 million people by 2015”.

He however said that he was prepared to support anybody who emerge Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), saying “If APC fail to give me the ticket, I will remain in partisan politics and in the party. Anyone the party pick as its candidate, I will support him because I will remain in the APC”.
