Buhari wants to add more woes to his current predicament. First, was his 5% interview and the result was the animosity of the SE/SS towards his government. Second was the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu against court rulings and what we have today are IPOB disturbances and protest. Third, his non-regard to the people of the SS and threats to militarize the region in search for one Tompolo, and now that threat has inspired a more deadly group to embark on nasty devastating bombings of oil facilities in the ND. And we begin to ask the question 'Does the President have advisers at all? Because a good leader does not go around stoking up tensions that has the tendency of bringing down his government.
Barely, days ago rumours flew that the President was behind the tacit support for the passing of a grazing reserve bill in the Senate. That careless move undoubtedly is proving the opposition right that President Buhari is an unrepentant ethno-religious bigot. And tempers are already flaring down south and middle-belt because of the murderous activities of the Fulani herdsmen that the President seeks to protect. The herdmen issue is just one among myriads of problems and we are not even talking about the petrol subsidy removal, nor the high inflation nor the acute sufferings in the land caused by the economic ineptitude of this government, yet someone somewhere is angling for more showdowns.
Let me state clearly here that an arrest on Jonathan would spell doom on our fragile unity. All the daft APC zombies pushing for such arrest should get ready to face the music when the poo hits the fan.

So if he's guilty of the charges levelled against him, he shouldn't be arrested bah? I think with the views of urs, this government is also justified regardless of what we're facing at present then....

titiakins:
you can go an arrest him!

Let's hope, as it may likely turn out to be, that this is another piece of propaganda from the APC- a party that has effectively ran Nigeria for a year via propaganda. That is a feat, one must admit.

One year in power and the Buhari-led government has fallen abysmally short on all counts as predicted by every rational mind before March 2015. Inflation rate has gone on to double digits; 1.6million jobs lost in 2016 alone and over 1 million lost between May 2015 and Dec 2015; the GDP for the first time in 2015 years is on negative growth rate; prices of essential commodities have either doubled or tripled...

I could go on and on. The government is in dire need of a distraction. So it needs to create and drive the narrative. The release of the Chibok girl(s) last week wasn't sufficient as it was a script riddled with glaring inconsistencies and, at best, it was too pedestrian for all who had a causal read on the news.

Arresting Jonathan would create an excellent diversion. However, if Buhari has any adviser whom he listens to, that would be a very, very, very bad move. As a retired general he should know that starting a new war within a space which has an ongoing war is a terrible, terrible move. While Boko Haram was set up to make the country ungovernable, attacks by militants in the Niger Delta will effectively ground Nigeria, affect oil prices and bring in the capitalists to throw him out. Yes, this will what will happen.

The aim of "arresting GEJ" is simple; create a national distraction; when that distraction, which will generate huge public attention dies away, release in batches "news and revelation" from the EFCC to media houses of how much GEJ "stole"... This will effectively run for another year or two. Then start campaigning for 2019, blaming your inability to deliver on even 5% of your 2015 campaign promises on PDP's "16 year misrule", GEJ's stolen funds, pipeline attacks, a comatose economy based on pipeline attacks, fluctuating oil prices... Etc. The North will easily be sold that, the West will again refuse to align with the South East and South South for a much better candidate... And Buhari-led APC will be sworn in again.

Nigeria will be obviously worse off for it, but I fear the above will happen.

Lordave:
But you that is clamouring for GEJ's arrest, are you reasoning objectively?

Horlufemi:
Leave Jona alone. He's a saint

damocool:

Let's see what's going to happen to him if he's guilty then..

titiakins:
he's already guilty according to this report

Don waste time

Arrest him!

damocool:

Why is staying away from the country, so let him come around first...

titiakins:
go catch am for there na

damocool:

OK.... In other news, LVG is now jobless..

fulanmafia:


Yes if he has charges against him why will he not be prosecuted? Why deny him a chance to prove his innocence?

He has been under investigation for a while now, so if he is needed for interrogation then he should honour it or be arrested.

Nobody is above the law. That is objectivity.

fulanmafia:


Which SE oil wells? ....you're a comedian.

The northerners I know don't deal with the 1% oil, they only do business in the South South which produces over 90% of our oil output with the rest attributable to the SW (Ondo alone produces more than double the entire SE output).

As for the blocs, come and collect now.

kettykin:


Where is this in the constitution that it is the duty of the president to probe only his predecessors, why do you people always turn the truth on its head.
