i'm sure you didnt read it so let me answer your question. the petitioner said they petitioned against her since the beginning of the year but since the GEJ govt was daft on corruption issues, no meaningful action took place hence NOW (that stealing is corruption)
moreover EFCC needs time to study the file before invitation.

The Peoples Democratic Party has debunked claims that the ruling All Progressives Congress and one of its national leaders, Bola Tinubu, were behind the ongoing investigation of the wife of the President of the Senate, Toyin Saraki, for corruption.

PREMIUM TIMES had on Wednesday exclusively reported the invitation, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, of Mrs. Saraki, who was the first lady of Kwara between 2003 and 2011, in relation to alleged questionable inflow of funds into companies in which she has interest.

But shortly after that news broke, a group of senators loyal to Senate President Bukola Saraki, under the aegis of ‘Like Minds,’ questioned the investigation, expressing concerns that the probe might be politically-motivated and suggesting that the leadership of the APC might be hounding Mrs. Saraki as a way of getting at her husband.

Mr. Saraki has been locked in battle with the leadership of the ruling party over his emergence as senate president on June 9 contrary to the wishes of the party.
Joseph Waku, a chieftain of the APC, had also on Saturday accused Mr. Tinubu of masterminding a “baseless petition” that led to the invitation of Mrs. Saraki by the EFCC, a charge the former Lagos governor stoutly denied.

But in a statement Sunday, the Kwara state chapter of the PDP said it was a petition it (PDP) submitted to the EFCC that got Mrs. Saraki into trouble.

“It has become imperative to inform the members of the public that we have every reasons to believe that a petition recently submitted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kwara state chapter is largely responsible for the invitation and eventual criminal prosecution of the former Kwara First Lady and wife of the Senate President, Mrs. Toyin Saraki,” the party said in a statement by its spokesperson, Rex Olawoye.

The PDP added, “It will be recalled that our party had sometime early this year discreetly submitted a petition to the EFCC detailing how certain individuals in high places under the past administration of Dr. Bukola Saraki milked the state dry and left the people more impoverished than they met them.

“In the said petition, we carefully chronicled how state officials, including former First Lady, Toyin Saraki, former Special Adviser to the Governor on MDGs, Mr. Ope Saraki, Personal Assistant (PA) to ex-Governor Bukola Saraki, one Mr. Abdul Adama from Kogi state, a former Commissioner for Information, Mr. Tunji Morounfoye, all working in a ring, got enmeshed in a cesspool of corruption unprecedented in the history of Kwara state or any other state of the federal for that matter!

“Although, we believe that the arrest and prosecution of Mrs. Toyin Saraki is long overdue, we nevertheless take solace under the fact that the long arm of the law seems to have finally caught up with her and her cronies. We are particularly delighted that our painstaking efforts at chronicling the monumental heist that defined the eight years, almost uneventful rule of former Governor Bukola Saraki in Kwara, has not gone unnoticed.

“We therefore commend the EFCC for its resourcefulness and painstakingness. We pledge our cooperation with the EFCC and all other relevant anti-graft agencies to ensure that all those who knowingly looted our collective patrimony, but now walking the streets of Kwara free with their ill-gotten wealth, do not go unpunished.

“We urge the anti-graft agency not to buckle in to pressure or blackmail that is already being mounted by political jobbers over Mrs. Saraki’s invitation by the EFCC. Instead of sponsoring paid activist-for-hire to stampede the EFCC out of the prosecution, one would have thought that the most moral thing for Toyin Saraki and her handlers to do now is to allow the law to take its cause. Since the duo of Ope Saraki and Tunji Morounfoye are already standing trial for their crimes, one would expect Mrs. Saraki too to seize the moment and clear her name, instead of playing to the gallery.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we reiterate that the offences Mrs. Saraki is being accused of are criminal in nature and such offences are not known to be statute-barred. Therefore, the fact that it took over five years after Mrs. Saraki left office as Kwara First Lady before she is eventually brought before the law does not matter.

“What matters is that justice is ultimately served, especially for the sake of the hard-working Kwara civil servants, poor Kwara farmers and the promising children of Kwara who were and are still being subjected to all manners of deprivations as a result of the rapaciousness of a privileged few who could not contain the temptations to stare clear the cookie jar.”

THIEFTINIBU cannot decieve everybody at d same time hiding behind PDP is an after thought WAKU blew d cover .my question is y did PDP KWARA had to wait dis long abeg make una park well

Stealing and looting galore. As their husbands are doing on one hand, their wives are also looting on the other hand. Is similar to two players operating from the flanks.

Question is, if PDP, Kwara State is completely and singlehandedly responsible for the probe of a former first Lady if their State, why now, 5yrs after she left office?

Even my pet parrot will deduce that the EFCC archives are being opened selectively depending on which side of the party bigwigs and the president you stand. If the EFCC continues to be a tool of the powers that be right from OBJ through GEJ and now GMB then it cannot be refered to as an institution and cannot be taken serious. Let us ask ourselves this:

If the President alone decides who, when and what time scale is used as a criteria for investigating financial crimes, it means it is he who owns the EFCC not Nigeria. And if he owns it, it means he can operate above its powers, it can't touch him. Once again we place individuals above institutions, ensure they are not fair and just and set the stage for the kind of impunity we may see down the line when those in office presently are no longer in power.

Even after this, the wailers will continue wailing.

......and they blamed Tinubu?


Tinubu giving his haters nightmare since 1999.

The report doesn't exonerate the APC leadership. The EFCC is chock-a-block with petitions (even against Tinubu himself) but it is up to political leadership to decide which is taken up and 'sponsored to task'.

Oga. There are tons of petitions against past and present, sitting and retired politicians. Who decides which should be followed up and which should be left alone. Even the Saraki himself will have petitions against him. Why not pursue those. Answer, simple. They want to intimidate him, cower him, punish him and turn him into a lame dog legislator. Why didn't they see his wife's case and quietly ask him not contest the senate seat. Was there no screening again for APC candidates as was widely heralded then. And finally Buhari was speaking of a five year statute of limitation on corruption to cover only the GEJ administration. This petition was five years in the making so is it above or below his bonanza mark.

If you can't see that this is politically motivated then you are as insincere as OBJ that did his graft war selectively and we all know how it ended, fractures and defections. Better advice your party to be fair and equitable and stop serving the interests of a handful of strong men.

Why PDP so unprincipled both in power and out of power? It was the same PDP that masterminded the installation of saraki as senate president.

Exactly. GEJ never took the establishment to task on any matter. He allowed the place to decay. I tell you that place is full of 'petitions' dating even before its establishment. The question is, who is the super-mod, (apologies Seun) who decides what case is given priority and pushed to the front page. It was OBJ in the first government, Yaradua and Goodluck did virtually nothing, now it is back in the hands of politicians once again with GMB toying with it as he pleases, setting criteria for it wily-nily, selective anti corruption battles. The risk here is that his enemies will be more that ever determined to produce evidence against his (GMB's) associates to prove a point and test for a reaction. Already there are reports that a couple of his pre-selected candidates are being 'taken out' by their hitherto hidden pasts. Interesting times ahead.

[quote author=mentorandfriend post=36297463][color=#770077]In summary,
PDP Kwara State petitioned EFCC.
It was neither a witch hunt from PMB, FG, nor Tinubu.
PMB and Tinubu haters sucks. They are disgusting, devoid of common sense, and retrogressive. They are enemies of our collective progress as a nation.

:-- How many looters were probed under Jona? Let the probe continue. PDP Kwara knew that Jesus of Otuoke could only set up committee to look into it and nothing concrete would have emanated. They have to reopen the fraudulent allegations against her when a no nonsense leader that hates corruption is at the helms of affairs. EFCC, carry on...

::--Are you having problem in comprehending write ups and claims? Let me help you to break it down. PDP in Kwara State where Mrs Toyin Saraki was the governor's wife was involved in fraudulent activities during her husband's tenure and they submitted a written petition against her. Where do you see selective justice in the whole story? Stop wailing and let justice prevail. All stolen funds must be recoverd. I don't care whose camp is involved.
