Keyamo Speaks On Legal Implication Of President's Gift Of 2 Jeeps by abitex577(m): 6:39am On Dec 17, 2015
A can of worms was open when the names of ‘highly placed’ Nigerians who got a share of the alleged $2.1b arms scandal started flying in the media.
More disturbing was that President Buhari’s name was mentioned as a partaker of the loot.
Though his media team did a good job of debunking the claim that Mr. President collected $300,000, they confirmed he received two jeeps, adding that it was his entitlement and he was even ‘prevailed upon’ to receive the vehicles.
Popular Nigerian lawyer, Festus Keyamo has come out to clear the air on the legal implications of the President receiving the cars.
[/b]Keyamo on his Twitter timeline said “The Law on d entitlements of former Heads of State says they're entitled to 3 cars each to be changed by d FG every 4 years + other benefits.”
Adding that “The cars given to former Heads of State are ppties of d F.G as they must be returned & replaced every 4 yrs. They can't be declared as gifts.”[b]
[/b]“The law did not say which office of d F.G caters for ex-Presidents. But, I know it's illegal for d NSA to pick d bills of a political party,” he said.[b]
Festus Keyamo is a Nigerian lawyer, human right activist, social commentator and columnist.

Thanks Mr Festus Keyamo on that.

The very question we need asking before exonerating Mr President is that, The cars(2 Toyota Land cruiser, armored and unarmored) given to him, were they presented status quo ante ie the way/protocol the entitlements were presented over the years?

Because if there is a legal back up, definitely, there should be a protocol to be followed.

Anybody can try to gild the lily, nobody can change the fact that mother is universally called Mama. A thief is a thief. This may be one scandal that will trump Watergate in the Guinness. I will never defend corrupters in my life. Anybody found guilty should not only be published but be given Chinese model of retribution. This is defining moment.

If the law says three and the General was given two then Dasuki could have embezzled the third. undecided he needs to explain.

LMAO!
Majority of those sentimentally reasoning being think Dasuki got Buhari on this, No! It was the FG who got him the cars as usual.
So it's with the FG to clear itself on where the money was taken from to buy the cars that was presented to Buhari.

This is becoming interesting. At least PMB did not collect cash from ONSA to buy cars. Wailers should stop wailing please.

Thanks Keyamo.

It is repulsive to see those who oppose this government with hatred do everything possible to thwart or neutralize the ongoing prosecution of the armsgate perpetrators and beneficiaries.

How does providing for the constitutional entitlement of an ex Head of State to a tune of N60m after he escaped an assassination attempt equate to the unconstitutional payment of political allies and vendors for campaign purposes to a tune of over N500b? If the NSA's office deemed it fit to proactively procure these vehicles as a matter of security importance, the office can seek a reimbursable from the MDA responsible, if not the ONSA itself.

This was the approach used to thwart the Subsidy Probe until it died. The gainers remain the subsidy thieves, the losers remain the people of Nigeria.

PMB got his constitutional entitlement (even less) and the constitution didn't specify kind, make or price of such vehicles. And it is the office of the NSA that is solely in charge of bulletproof cars so why all the fuss?

Nigerians should instead be criticizing the decision and discretion of the last government for lavising/misappropriating/diverting public funds with reckless abandon.

This is simply corruption fighting back. The League of corruption sympathizers should be put to shame ASAP.

Thank you my brother. grin Dasuki has a lot to explain. He shall have his day in court.

We know the SUVs are part of the entitlement of the former head of states. I know PDP knows this, they just want to remind us that they are still alive. grin
