"The Nation" owned by Tinubu?

Another media propaganda

TheGoodJoe:
We are talking of an accused confessing to diverting Billions of naira meant for protecting our soldiers and you are posting Propaganda derived from someone's Facebook page.

Please, don't be daft. This statement was NOT made by EFCC, but was a confession to the courts from one of the accused.

He has been asked to account for how the NSA paid him 2.2bn naira without a legal contract and this is his defence/explanation. Which other side is there to hear from? The EFCC?

Show a verified source for your travel expenditure claims. Besides, that has nothing to do with this case. Buhari's travels are documented and budgeted for as part of his job. No comparison.

So far, you're doing great a poor job at defending corruption

Why are APC and Buhari supporters such chronic LIARS?
Why
Since when did Herald newspapers turn to Facebook page?

Are people blind, Jonathan was never accused or mentioned in this thread, he was a gentle man, thinking that those around him had the same mindset, never knew they were criminals.

It was the northern politicians under Jonathan, that spear headed the DASUKIgate.

Pathetic. How does FG sharing allocation affects the fact that a theif confessed in the court under no duress whatsoever? Your pattern of argument reminds one of Beaf.

This was the reason why during an Oil boom, we saved nothing and you want President Buhari to cushion the effect of the Crude Oil price drop with Chewing Stick.

TheGoodJoe:
I do not get the relation. How did this man get a property what over two billion naira if not from diverting funds meant for our soldiers.

For comparisons, President Obasanjo met about $5 billion in foreign reserves, and the average monthly oil price for the 72 months he was in office was $38, and yet he left $43 billion in foreign reserves after paying $12 billion to write-off Nigeria’s external debt. In the last five years, the average monthly oil price has been over $100, and the quantity also higher but our foreign reserves have been declining and exchange rate depreciating.

“My calculation is that if the economy was better managed, our foreign reserves should have been between $102 –$118 billion and exchange rate around N112 before the fall in oil prices. As of now, the reserves should be around $90 billion and exchange rate no higher than N125 per dollar,” he said.

I guess you are also saying that Buhari diverted money meant for soldiers in order to build his mansions spread across the country with land properties that he does not even know the address!

You surely can do better than quote Soludo who wrote to support Buhari's candidacy in the March 28 elections.
Share credible links for the figures he referred to and we can discuss. Okay

Fresh revelations emanating from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have it that ex-president Goodluck Jonathan spent about N2.2billion on prayers to fight Boko Haram.
The Nation gathered from an executive director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Aminu Baba-Kusa, that the money was spent on prayers in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia to win the war against insurgency in the country.
This latest development is not part of the $2.1billion arms fund for which former National Security Adviser (NSA) Colonel Sambo Dasuki is being tried.
The monies for the prayer, it was gathered, was disbursed through the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), as proposed by Baba-Kusa.
Making this revelation was Baba-Kusa himself, in a statement of witness filed in the high court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), where he, Dasuki and three others(Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Referral Hospital Limited (owned by Baba-Kusa) and a former director of finance in ONSA, Shuaibu Salisu) are facing trials.
The NNPC director confessed that the money was spent on prayers to hasten the defeat of the insurgents, and that it was released in two tranches of N1,450,000,000 and N750,000,000, adding that the proposal was verbal.
“I approached the former NSA and discussed Boko Haram problems and I suggested there is need for prayers and he considered and accepted in 2013 when he first came to office.
“I personally sponsored many people locally and some few to Saudi Arabia. Some monies were later paid into our companies, which we paid to some of the mallams.
“I then arranged to recover my personal expense which I put into our own businesses.
“We have been spending a lot from our businesses and personal accounts. Money paid through UBA, First Bank and ECOBANK. For Acacia Holdings Limited(A/C 1017330319-UBA); ECOBANK(0122012650); and First Bank(Reliance Referral Hospitals Limited A/C 2022394057). The total amount is N2,200,000,000 from October 2014 to April 2015,” Baba-Kusa confessed.
According to him, he may not be an expert,
“but I used some of the mallams to organise in Abuja, Zaria, Kano, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Kaduna and Saudi Arabia covering 2013 to 2015.
“I give them funds as required from time to time, ranging from N500,000 to N30million, depending on their needs, traveling, sadaqat and others for local expenses and travels to Saudi Arabia for Umrah and Hajj.
“I reminded the NSA many times before payments were made. We grew up together with the former NSA with common friends in ABU.
“Most of the payments in cash were meant to give out cash to people that have been organising prayers. Some transfers to Acacia to other banks were for logistics and also to some mallams in cash.”
On how the prayer contract was arrived at, the suspect said: “The proposal made to the former NSA was not documented by him or myself. The verbal proposal to him was for prayers to overcome Boko Haram within the shortest possible time.
“The engagement for prayers by organising some people to be praying was not formally written down.
“There was no amount of money agreed on. I said to him, I will start organising, which he agreed and said he will see what he would give at a later time.”
Baba-Kusa, who noted that he spent an estimate of over N700million from his own resources before asking for money from the ONSA, noted further that “some of these funds came from disposal of some of my land in Abuja. One in Maitama, one in Gudu and one in Guzape. The Maitama was a little over N200million; Guzape (N80m), Gudu(N18m).”
He added that he kept no records of the money he handed over to the various people they used, but assured the EFCC that he would refund the said cash if he is able to dispose off his landed properties.
“I am making efforts to dispose of my properties in Abuja which would be over the total amount of N2.2billion. If the sales go through and the amount from the sales is made in full, I will make full payment.” he was quoted to have said.
The 19 charges against the five suspects read that, Baba-Kusa, Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Referral Hospital Limited are alleged to have “between October 2014 and April 2015 in Abuja agreed to do an illegal act to wit: dishonestly receiving property to wit: an aggregate sum of N2,200,000,000 being part of the funds in the accounts of the Office of National Security Adviser and that the same act was fine in pursuance of the agreement among you and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 97 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 532, Vol.4, LFN 2004.”

[s]Another lies to distract there followers

I am so tired of this government. Everything isn't working and worst of all the benefit of fuel availability we use to enjoy during the last administration has also gone bad.

For 8 months now, fuel aren't stable and the President double as minister of petroleum isn't doing any shit about it.

Does Buhari really care about the masses?[/s]

Kondomatic:
[s]Hear from the other side before jumping to conclusion. GEJ raped our economy from the back but EFCC shouldn't be trusted 100%, they might come out later to deny or withdraw the statement/charges.



BTW, Isn't 2.2billion the exact amount Buhari spent US trip? @ least GEJ spent his own(if true) to pray for Nigeria but Buhari's own is for what?

You met the treasury virtually empty and the first thing you did was to blow 2.2 billion on a foreign trip.

These old men don't care about us so Bleep them.[/s]

texazzpete:
Kai!

Before anyone foolish comes to make noise about 'media propaganda' or 'media trial', know that this is a court room confession, backed by evidence, of this man receiving 2.2bn naira from Dasuki without a contract or any documentation, supposedly for 'special prayers'


2.2 billion naira. Let that sink in. Money the NSA could have used to buy weapons and equipment for our soldiers.

Smh.

dvee2:
If you are looking for the reason why things are hard now, don't look further than 15 years of PDP recklessness. yet some people want Buhari to do magic in less than a year. God is watching you.

egift:


I applaud the wisdom in pairing Buhari and Osinbajo.

One General. One Professor. One Nigeria.

Barrysleek:
This is a court confession not from Efcc he has even promise to refund the money from his landed properties in Abuja and some Ineffectual buffoon loyalists are calling this media propaganda. This is why we are where we are because we don't condemn corruption everything is about ethnicity and religion. The greatest beneficiaries of the Ineffectual Buffon are from the north and some blind southerners and defending the Ineffectual buffoon when they never benefited from his incompetence.
Long live PMB
Long live Nigeria
