The Hypocrisy Of The People's General- Buhari. Part 1 by Nobody: 10:26am On Mar 14, 2015
Muhammadu Buhari's Declaration that
Dictatorial Nigerian Military Head of State Sani
Abacha Did Not Steal Public Funds
One of the major points of criticism against
Muhammadu Buhari, APC Presidential
candidate for the 2015 Nigerian elections, is
his declaration that late
Nigerian military dictator Sani Abacha, in
whose government Buhari had worked, did not
loot public funds while in office.
Sani Abacha became Nigeria's head of state
through a coup, ruling from 1983 to 1985.
Yet huge amounts of Abacha's loot were being
recovered from different parts of the world, even
as Buhari made that declaration which he has
never revised.
This development casts Buhari's integrity in a
very doubtful light, particularly in relation to
his much touted anti-corruption credentials and
claims of ethnic bigotry directed against him.
Buhari made this declaration on the 5th of
June 2008, at the 10th year commemoration in
Kano of the death of Sani Abacha, as reported,
among other sources, by Ibrahim Shuaibu in
his article "Abacha Never stole, Say Buhari,
Babangida" in This Day news magazine on the
9th of June 2008, and republished in
AllAfrica.com ( http://allafrica.com/
stories/200806090008.html ).
The Return of Part of Abacha's Loot to
Nigeria Shortly Before Buhari's Shocking
Declaration
This declaration by Muhammadu Buhari is
particularly shocking because the week before
he made that assertion that Abacha did not
steal public funds, the Swiss government had
returned to Nigeria some of Abacha's huge loot
which he had siphoned from the Nigerian
treasury, as reported by Adekunle Jimoh in
his article of 2008-06-10, "Buhari,
Abdulsalami, IBB under fire over Abacha loot"
in The Nation, in the context of presenting the
amazing declaration of Muhammadu Buhari :
"Only last week, the government of Switzerland
said it had returned all of the $505million
(N59.05billion) looted funds stashed in its
banks by the late Gen. Abacha. The repatriated
money is part of an estimated $3billion of
public funds believed to have been stored up by
the late Head of State in banks in Singapore,
Hong Kong, Dubai, Britain and Luxembourg,
besides Switzerland."

The Challenge of the AC to
Muhammadu Buhari's Attempt to Distort
History
The gravity of Muhammadu Buhari's
determination to distort reality by exonerating
Abacha of the greatest theft of Nigeria's
resources in the country's history, stealing half
of the country's foreign reserve, is underscored
by the response of the political party the Action
Congress, through its publicity secretary Lai
Muhammed, describing the statements of
Buhari as
"a disgusting case of revisionism" , particularly
as Buhari had also declared
"that past administrations should not be
probed" a position the AC described as
demonstrating " self-preservation rather than
patriotism" warning that heeding such advice
would thwart all efforts to enthrone the rule of
law, due process, probity and good
governance."
In addition, the news report states :
"The Lagos State chapter of the AC described
the former Heads of State’s comment as "a
desperate attempt by former despots to buy the
reprieve of history for one of their ilk, together
with whom they ruined Nigeria."

Pius Adesanmi's Analysis of
Buhari's Pronouncement as an Effort to
Whitewash His Own Sins
Pius Adesanmi's analysis of this evil
pronouncement by Buhari,a few months after
the declaration by the former military man, in
his essay of 24 June 2008, at the Nigeria
Village Square " 'On Professors' Ibrahim
Babangida, Muhammadu Buhari and
Abdulsalami Abubakar" describes this effort at
distorting history by Buhari as a determination
to make sure history does not remember the
evils Buhari perpetrated while in office ( http://
www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/articles/pius-
adesanmi/on-professors-ibrahim-babangida-
muhammadu-buhari-and-abdulsalami-
abubakar.html ).
The Metamorphosis of the AC and Other Parties
into the APC and Making Buhari its Presidential
Candidate
As of today, the AC, the Action Congress, the
very party that described Buhari's behaviour in
this incident as "a disgusting case of
revisionism" and his declaration that past
administrations should not be probed as
demonstrating "self-preservation rather than
patriotism" is one of the parties at the centre of
the alliance that formed the APC, whose
Presidential candidate Buhari is.
What does this tell us about Buhari and his
party the APC?
Does it suggest we are dealing with figures of
principle or with political opportunists, soldiers
of fortune, seekers of power at any cost, even at
the price of their souls?
Buhari is presented by his party as a person
who will clean up corruption in Nigeria.
How can a man who denied the monumental
corruption of his boss, his fellow soldier and
Northern Nigerian Muslim, Sani Abacha, in
spite of all evidence to the contrary, clean up
corruption anywhere?
Tragedy.
How can a political party that excoriated the
same character for trying to distort history
about the most destructive regime in Nigerian
history put forward as their Presidential
candidate the same man who tried to whiten a
filthy sepulchre by telling a monumental lie in
board daylight?
Is that not horror?
May God deliver us from evil.
