Buhari is only probing Jonah-daft government. If u aren't happy with it go and die.
U fools had no issue with Wike probing just the last 18 months of Amaechi government and not even his entire tenure.
Besides, the rot and money stolen underneath Jonah-daft nose far exceeds what has been stolen since independence. Focusing only on Jonah-daft atrocities within this short time makes perfect sense. The drunkard chose not to probe obj, that was his cup of tea. You talk well man, jonah-daft must be probed Since some dumb ass don't see Wike probing only amaechi as witch hunting ... Why should they see PMB probing jonah-daft as witch hunting I'd say if you no be witch , nobody go hunt you 4 Likes |

Since his March 28 electoral victory, President Buhari has been credited with some statements that are so unworthy of his office as the President of Nigeria. The latest of them is the President's determination to limit his probe to Jonathan's administration only. Add to this, Presidential Spokesman Femi Adesina insulted our sensibilities by these words...
“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,”
“The far past will includes Obasanjo and others. But the president has said he will not waste time to go that far.”
In addition to the above statement, the Spokesman also said...
"He can’t afford to go too deep into the past or else it will be destructive for his administration." https://www.nairaland.com/2471364/buhari-probe-jonathans-govt-only
1. The "Far Past" Exclusion:
There was no time during the electioneering or transition period that Buhari made any statement like excluding "far past" administrations. What is "far past"? This obviously is a new creation aimed at protecting certain persons.
Let us do a recall that before the election, APC Chairman John Oyegun was quoted to have said..
“It is clear that from the Buhari’s perspective and that of the APC, the future of the people of this country is too important for us to spend valuable time trying to dig into the past...”
Oyegun further made clarification that the "past" is pre-2015 (not pre-2010) when he said
“And we are going to go into a situation, post May 2015, where the law will normally take its course. There will be a line drawn on the sand; on one part is the past, the other side is the future."
www.punchng.com/news/only-corrupt-nigerians-oppose-buhari-says-apc/
We also recall that Buhari himself on March 11, 2015 in a campaign rally in Kaduna state made it clear that he will only probe post-May 29, 2015 corruption cases.
www.newtelegraphonline.com/i-wont-probe-former-leaders-says-buhari/
www.thenationonlineng.net/buhari-i-wont-probe-past-govts/
There was no talk of "far past" at any time.
2. Obasanjo, Atiku, IBB etc And The "Far Past"
Isn't this laughable? If Buhari had changed his mind from his earlier position, isn't it sane that he probes former administrations especially from the IBB regime? If he insist on probing democratic administrations, then why not start from May 29, 1999? Nigerians will like to know what happened to the billions recovered from Abacha. We will like to bring those indicted in the PTDF scandal to Justice (Obasanjo, Atiku and co). We will like to know what happened to the N2.3trillion the Obasanjo allegedly spent on power. We will like to bring to justice the Haliburton "thieves" among others.
Is Buhari now trying to protect Obasanjo, who happens to be his military benefactor in 1977 and his navigator to the March 28 electoral triumph? Is he trying excluding the Abacha regime because he was part of it? Is he protecting Yar'adua administration because he was his kinsman and certain officers of that government contributed to bring him to power?
Why is Buhari making nonsense of leadership?
3. Going Too Deep Is "Destructive"?
What is destructive in bringing officers of past administrations that has looted our common wealth to justice? Is he trying to say that he can't probe his benefactors (Abacha and Obasanjo), his kinsman (Yar'adua) and his Northern military comrade (IBB), but will only probe Jonathan's administration because he neither benefitted from Jonathan nor is he a kinsman to Jonathan?
Finally, I want to reiterate that I am not against the probe of Jonathan's administration(PDP and Jonathan also share this sentiment). However, it amounts to injustice, unpatriotism and "unstatesmanlike" for the President to come up with a new "jargon" such as "far past" in his bid to shield his benefactors from probe. I to appeal to patriotic Nigerians to call on President Buhari to tow the path of sanity, fairness and statesmanship in leadership.

PMB is d President, He has is own style of leadership, let him execute it and let see what apn. From various Analysis of PMB, I av got to understand He actually read alot and knows what people Ar saying even on social media but He know his ways and How he want to do things and no individual, leader or region can change his because He knows He hasn't gone against d law. this is wat being principled means.. So OP is there any law making it compulsory for PMB to probe all administration before him or specifying d number of administration to probe If not den chill and watch. 2 Likes |

Coming this far, yet no Janjaweedian can counter this objective submissions with reasonable arguments all I see from these incorrigible children of hate are tantrum-throwings toward barcanista and I keep asking why? Why? Yes that's the word! The same tricks he uses is what is being used against him. He has thus far, employed not answering when pertinent question are being asked. You read that post by Israelairforce where he said GEJ used technology to curb corruption in the public sector and NOI also helped by stating what the tiers of government receive from the federal government. Questions bro, now I ask them, how did GEJ use technology to curb corruption when that sham/scam called the Immigration Job Scam happened right under his noise, even the Stella Oduah saga, the numerous allegations leveled against Deizani, the Barth Nnaji saga etc, also I ask, NOI stated what the tiers of government receive, so? Isn't that what she's supposed to do and how did that stop state governors and others from looting?. Now to the OP. I've always maintained that visiting these white imperialists who pose as money lenders and problem solvers is a total waste of time. Since 1999, OBJ toured the world, what came of it? So did Yar'Adua and GEJ, now Buhari. In my opinion, it is a total waste of time and public funds.

Like I said, you should try understand the composition of Council of State. For the avoidance of doubt, Council of State is not tied to the Executive. It is a distinct but advisory organ that comprises of ALL 36 State Governors, The Speaker of the House (Reps), The Senate President, All former Presidents, Chief Justice of the Federation, The Vice President and SGF who is the Secretary. The President Chairs the body.
The Council of State must first approve before pardon is granted. During Alams pardon, Some APC Governors were at the meeting including exPresidents, All of them endorsed it. It is naïve to say "the President granted Alams pardon". The Office of the President and the Executive is very Different from the State.
Stop bringing DSS, EFCC into this. These are Agencies of the Executive.
Barcanista, be truthful to yourself, even as I know this council of state issue is just hogwash, if the same body grant such pardon to a Buhari crony today won't you and other wailers cry wolf? Won't you create threads and counter threads of how Buhari and his northern hegemony are the most corrupt humans God created? You know the answer.

Unfortunately, this comment is coming very late, but anyway what do you objectively expect from a responsible administration? Is it to continue in the irresponsible way of the past PDP administrations of overlooking the excesses and corruption of previous administrations because they plan to tow the same line, or to lose himself in the past by embarking on a probe of all past administrations from Tafawa Balewa because their successors (with the exclusion of PMB during his 1st stint in the Presidency) failed to probe their predecessor? Well thank God PMB is wiser than that, and with new insider insight into the excesses of the last administration, also in line with his promise to bring to book anyone found to have helped himself to our public funds, he is embarking on this probe.

May God Bless Us All. Don't worry bro. Pmb is at the helm of things at the moment. The buck stops with him. Jona had his chance and chose not to act on the past but to please and appease everyone. If he had the balls to take Buhari up, on the post 2011 election chaos and a host of other misdemeanors, he wouldnt find himself in Otuoke today. You are a great fighter. Fearless and smart. You also contributed in no small measure to the emergence of pmb, with your earlier dogged criticism of GEJ. So many people bought into your line of thought. Today, we have bubu. Tomorrow will be someone else. Life must go on. Jona is still the greatest factor in his failure. He failed to be either an angel or a devil....there's no demilitarized zone.

No one stopped GEJ from probing his predecessor/s. He had a choice and chose what he wanted. It's PMB's time and he will decide who and who to probe. Wailing from now till 2019 will not change that.
The fact is that for any nation to move in the right direction and progress toward real development, each and every government must be held accountable for her actions and inactions. Only when people realize that they will be called to answer for their deeds and misdeeds would they behave reasonably.
President Buhari cannot probe all past govts for lack of time and enormity of the tasks at hand but he is morally obliged to look into actions of his immediate predecessors and not all before him.
If he probes Jona, Nigeria will have taken a very giant step in moving towards accountability. When PMB is done too, let his successor probe his tenure. Before we know it, it shal b wel wit u as if u knw my mind,Jonalthan cud av done that nw. 1 Like |

I am trying so much as not to insult your person.... You are either too inclined to the present administration that you now feel that a crime committed in 2009 or even 1999 was never committed simply because it wasn't punished at that time..... U NEED HELP MY DEAR Dannyset:
Chairman of the Association!
Stop giving ursef sleepless night over how Buhari want to deal with Jonathan. If those past Govt should be probed, then it was in the power of Jona to do it. Now let him face the immediate past govt because that's the only one he can get enough document to unravel.
Stop shielding corruption and cankerworm, and be reasonable and thankful for once. |

Stop crying Chief Wailer!
No one stopped GEJ from probing his predecessor/s. He had a choice and chose what he wanted. It's PMB's time and he will decide who and who to probe. Wailing from now till 2019 will not change that.
The fact is that for any nation to move in the right direction and progress toward real development, each and every government must be held accountable for her actions and inactions. Only when people realize that they will be called to answer for their deeds and misdeeds would they behave reasonably.
President Buhari cannot probe all past govts for lack of time and enormity of the tasks at hand but he is morally obliged to look into actions of his immediate predecessors and not all before him.
If he probes Jona, Nigeria will have taken a very giant step in moving towards accountability. When PMB is done too, let his successor probe his tenure. Before we know it, our elected officials will be guided in their deeds knowing full well that there are consequences for their actions while in office. how about Tinubu, at least that aint far, or is it? |
