Report…….Conspiracy of Retired Army Generals prompt Aso Rock back down

•IBB, OBJ, Abdusalami fingered!

NIGERIA President, Muhammadu Buhari surely meant well for the Nigerian people. His integrity, discipline and avowed commitment to fight, name and shame corruption had never been in doubt since Nigerians have high hopes in his administration to ‘fight corruption among the elites’, in a bid to free Nigeria’s economy from Kleptomaniac.

As it is a fad that “when you fight corruption, surely corruption will fight back,” aptly captures the trending conspiracy of few Nigerian Army Generals (retired) and former Heads-of-State who allegedly prompts Buhari to ‘let-off’ his earlier, intentional investigation of $182million Halliburton bribe scandal, so he may continually ‘govern Nigeria in peace’.



CNN iReport gathered that few weeks before Buhari made his maiden visit to United States, words reached him that few retired Army Generals who were erstwhile Heads-of-State were allegedly not happy with the planned moves by the no-nonsense disciplinarian to re-open the Halliburton scandal, with the sole intention to expose, disgrace and prosecute some of culpable generals and other highly-placed Nigerians whose hands may have been ‘soiled’ by the cookie-jar of corruption in Bonny Island Liquefied Natural Gas Project.

As such, after General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), a former Nigeria’s Head of State received a phone call from from General Olusegun Obasanjo, also a former Nigeria’s president where he brought the attention of IBB to the fact that they way Buhari was going about corruption-fight, he would eventually probe the majority of past administration, including IBB era.
This position was echoed by another Nigerian Head of State, General Abdusalami Abubakar; which prompted a conspiracy theory to ‘place Buhari in order’. Abdusalami had visited IBB in his Minna Castle in Niger State, there it was concluded that IBB should stylishly pass-on their position to Buhari to halt his earlier, intentioned probe of his predecessors.

In a press statement issued by IBB through his media adviser, Prince Kassim Afegbua, it reportedly reads: “On General Buhari, it is not in IBB’s tradition to take up issues with his colleague former president. But, for the purpose of the record, we are conversant with General Buhari’s so-called holier-than-thou-attitude. He is a one-time minister of petroleum and we have good records of his tenure.

Secondly, he also presided over Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) which records we also have. We challenge him to come out in clean hands in those two portfolios he headed. Or, we will help him to expose his records of performance during those periods. Those who live in glass houses do not throw stones. General Buhari should be properly guided.”

CNN iReport gathered when intelligence report reached Buhari on the position of these retired Army Generals and former Heads of State, and bearing in mind how mean they can fully engage him in ‘dirty-fight’ which may ridicule him in the eyes of Nigerians and expose his stewardship then as Minister of Petroleum in 1976 that led to the mysterious disappearance of a whooping US $2.8 Billion from Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC account in Midlands Bank, United Kingdom allegedly under his watchful-eyes, Buhari quickly made a detour and issued a press statement through Femi Adesina, his Special Adviser, Media & Publicity claiming the investigation of Buhari administration would only be limited to his predecessor, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GEJ, the man who honorably handed peacefully to Buhari on May 28, 2015 at Eagle Square so Nigeria may remain united as an indivisible nation.

For the records, Buhari was appointed Minister of Petroleum in 1976 under the Murtala/Obasanjo administration. Not much is known about any scandals that occured during his tenure as Minister, but there are rumors of the mysterious disappearance of US$2.8 Billion from the NNPC account in Midlands Bank in the United Kingdom, during Buhari’s stewardship. Now that IBB has threatened to expose him, it lends a certain credibility to the rumors indicting Buhari of grand graft.

As if Jonathan knew that this would happen. In the last days of his administration as president in Aso Rock villa on May 27, 2015 during Federal Executive Council valedictory session witnessed by big-wigs of Peoples Democratic Party, he said “Some people are even calling for the probe of the government, but I think in Nigeria, there are a lot of many things that will be probed, very many things, even debts owed by states and debts owed by this country from 1960 up to this time. They say it is Jonathan’s administration that owes these debts,” Jonathan said.

“I believe that anybody that is coming for probe must also ensure that this probe is extended beyond the Jonathan administration. Otherwise, to me, it will be witch-hunt. If we are very sincere, it is not only the Jonathan administration that should be probed.”

CNNiReport investigation showed that Jonathan administration may have been singled-out as ‘corrupt government’ due to the fact that he was a minority-leader from Niger-Delta and obviously not a military, but a civilian leader. There are feelers from some Nigerians that this probe may not have happened if Jonathan had been a retired Army General.

For Folu Adewope, an undergraduate of University of Texas Arlington, UTA, her words: “This is obviously a witch-hunt, charade and selective humiliation with ethnic coloration under corruption-guise. I strongly believe this investigation would not have happened if Jonathan had hailed from the North and had been a retired Army General.

Why can’t Buhari open the Halliburton scandal, and openly prosecute Obasanjo, Abdusalami, Atiku Abubakar, a former Nigeria’s Vice president and every other corrupt Nigerians named in the scandal. As Nigerians, we are interested in this case.”

Recently on his Facebook wall-page, Femi said: “It would be a distraction for the President to begin digging into all former administrations, but for a proper take -off of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, there is need to look into the immediate past government (GEJ). We are interested in investigating Jonathan’s government to recover stolen funds”.

International Community watch in Disbelief:

As at the time of going to the press, members of International Community, particularly the United States government is shocked that Buhari ought not to leave any stone unturned in fighting corruption no matter whose ox is gored.

The Halliburton bribery scandal is seen by members of international community as a litmus test for Buhari to prove his desire effectively to combat corruption among the elites in Nigeria.

Abacha is not corrupt__ Buhari

Buhari ought not to leave any stone unturned in fighting corruption no matter whose ox is gored.

until these change agents deal with this scandal, their change mantra will remain a farce

Buhari is confused and overwhelmed. He can't use corruption to fight corruption.

So many prominent ruling party politicians n elder statesmen are linked to iit. Unfortunately, he can't bite the hands that sponsored him all the way to presidency

Stale news smelling "kosa".

B000hary CANNOT reopen Halliburton Bribe Scandal.

Ki lo je yo.

Saint Buhari must probe the bonny island LNG scandal ( halburton) or just let us know he is just lip syncing on fighting corruption.


[p] Nigeria is a country where when fight corruption, corruption fights you back. --- Chinua Achebe @bbc [/p]

PMB has hidden this case file deep in Sambisa forest knowing fully well that the success of his administration will depend a lot on not investigating this particular case or even talking about it. Imagine PMB taking on OBJ, Atiku, Gen. Abdulsalami, IBB and the rest all at the same time. Its like Nigerian fighting an insurrection from Boko haram, Biafrans, Niger-Delta Militants and Fulani herdsmen all at the same time, the only safe place left for PMB then will be Daura (as in Daura President fashion).

So much for Mr. Integrity and holiness.

Chai. Some people are simply untouchable sacred cows!

And some people only "pight kwaroftion ' with mouth.
And against opponents. While their own shiiit stink to high heavens.

Integrity ko, integration ni.

Who dosent knw this...

Firefire:
B000hary CANNOT reopen Halliburton Bribe Scandal.

Ki lo je yo.

You knw why?
They hv somtin on him too
Buhari is corrupt

Buhair never understand were they pain am next year him eye go open well

Simple, because change is a scam.

Frophet Buhari is a DISASTER.

I had always said it that the very day president bubu tries to probe any of the pa
st president, that day he digs his own grave that will swallow him. He is no better saint than the others. So sorry Americans , president bubu and APC have also scamed you too.

Ahhhhh...
Is the reason farfetched?
Nigerians who are real and true Nigerians know better.

It is simply because change is a scam:
Instead for us to have the promised change, Nigerians have been short-changed;

Another reason is that that the present administration's fight against 'kworruption' is selective, opposition-targeted and laced with bias;

They promised to 'hit the ground running', what we have is that they 'hit the ground and got grounded'

A dictator who has sought to be a democratically elected present for 3 times within the span of 12 years, hot elected in March 2015, got sworn in in May, 2015 could not finish the background check on his nominees till October, 2015.
And when he claimed he has finally finished, he will send one name today and substitute it tomorrow;
And when he claimed he has finished, he would still forward the old, retired, tired, 'kworrupt' and controversy-ridden names.

"I'm am not for anybody; I'm for everybody" was a fallacy.

"97% to 5%" decree, though anti-people, dictatorial, undemocratic, unconstitutional, and against-Nigeria's-federal-character,
It's so dear to the heart, spirit, soul and 'body-language' of the proponents.

Whether their Chief Servants like it or not, whether their slaves admit it or not, the 97% against 5 person is the only truth told by this government.

However, Nigerians are still watching.
Summarily because:

MAJOR COLLABORATORS IN THE HARLIBUTTON SAGA ARE NOW APC CHIEFTAINS.

Anti-corruption war, my foot.

The writeup is trying to make positive sense from an apparent weaknesses.
The first few paragraphs are hypocritically shallow.
They should have called incompetence what it is.
