Buhari Will Probe Jonathan’s Govt Only; Not Obasanjo’s, Others – Presidency by Kcinho(m): 7:13am On Jul 23, 2015 |
President Muhammadu Buhari will not extend his corruption probe beyond the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, the presidency has said. Mr. Buhari, who is currently on official visit to the United States, has consistently vowed to investigate and bring to book, persons who looted the country’s funds. The president said on Tuesday he will arrest and prosecute past ministers and other officials who stole Nigeria’s oil and diverted government’s money to personal accounts. But the Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs to Mr. Buhari, Femi Adesina, said the president will limit his anti-corruption war to the immediate past administration in the country. He said Mr. Buhari will not waste time in probing the administrations of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Abdulsalam Abubakar, Sani Abacha and Ibrahim Babangida. He said even before he was sworn in to office on May 29, the president had categorically stated that he would not extend his corruption probe beyond the Jonathan government. “If you recall, that was already settled before he got inaugurated as president. He has said he will not waste time digging into the far past,” Mr. Adesina said. “The far past will includes Obasanjo and others. But the president has said he will not waste time to go that far.” Before leaving office, Mr. Jonathan had said any probe by the new government would be seen as a “witch hunt” if it fails to go beyond his administration. Speaking on criticisms over President Buhari’s decision to travel to the U.S. with his son, Yusuf, the presidential spokesperson said Mr. Buhari did not breach any rule. He said it was a normal practice for presidents to travel with members of their families, citing the example of American presidents who travel abroad with their wives and children. “There is absolutely nothing wrong with the president travelling with one of his sons. It is an acceptable and standard practice. He could go with up to four members of his family. “Don’t forget that when former President Bill Clinton visited Nigeria while he was in office, he came with his daughter, Chelsea. “President Barak Obama travels with his children and so the President of Nigeria can travel out with three or four of his children. Late President Umaru Yar’Adua used to travel with two of his sons and one of his grandchildren,” he said. Mr. Adesina described the outcome of the president’s official visit to the US as “a roaring success on every side.” “There are good returns. It is an investment that will yield very handsome returns.” www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/187120-buhari-will-probe-jonathans-govt-only-not-obasanjos-others-presidency.html |

Great decision. Probing all other administration will be an unnecessary distraction. Beside, Jonathan should have probed his own predecessor if he felt his administration mismanaged the country's resources. 3 Likes |

The Civil War Military Establishment is the problem of Nigeria. Refusing to work according to their directives makes you a target. The corruption in Nigeria was birthed, nurtured and being sustained by them as I speak. If you agree to front for them, you will have no mountain standing unmoved. Their tentacles are everywhere in the ministries and every agency of Federal Government. Don't be fooled, they are the barons tele-guiding movements of Nigeria's stolen wealth. |

dekdek: i support Buhari on this 100 percent. Only the last 8years should be probed. it was Jonathan responsibility to probe Obasanjo regime. if jonathan failed to do that, that is Jonathan's business. Time has limit. Buhari is not a creator of time. He has just 4years confirmed tenure. you want him to use it to probe 16years corruption? you must be an enemy of Nigeria. Every good minded Nigeria will support this decision. I am from South South from Edo State. And I support him on this. Even some people from Bayelsa are saying Jonathan should be probed! then who are you to go against it? 2 Likes 1 Share |

It's buhari's prerogative to choose the limit of his probe. There's not a thing wrong if he decides to probe the immediate regime that handed over to him. That is logic (common sense again). That's never witch-hunting. Infact the witch - hunting would be when he decides to extend it beyond the people who handed over to him. Even in our simple day to day lives, in our work places when a supervisor hands over to a new supervisor, he surely must study the hand over from his predecessor but when the new supervisor begins to ransack older notes, they will tell him what are you looking for? That's the actual witch-hunt. 3 Likes 1 Share |

dekdek:u have to stop thinking with ur anus...try using ur brain pls...it doesn't hurt... Jonathan didn't witch hunt anyone during his reign...he was so occupied with de progress of this nation...and probing previous govt were to be setbacks...things like probing were to be seen in his second tenure... by then all that needs to be done would've been done perfectly... n then he comes to start probing past govts... as it is right now....i know an illiterate like u wouldn't understand my point....n I'll advice u to stop being silly by quoting me... |
