He said this while citing reports that the Federal Government is protecting some powerful ex-Generals from the arms purchase probe.

Fayose also alleged that anyone close to Buhari cannot be probed even if the person looted funds.

The Ekiti Governor in a statement issued by his New Media Aide, Lere Olayinka said “There are many petitions relating to the defence from 2007 that are being discarded, the question is why? There are several petitions against APC leaders that are not being looked into, the question is why?

“Fghting corruption and targeting only opponents of the president is in itself corruption.

“Buhari’s’ Minister of Interior, Major General Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd) was Chief of Army Staff between 2008 and 2010 and the current Chief Of Army Staff, Major General Tukur Buratai served as Director of Procurements, Defence Headquarters, from 2012 till May 2015."

Adding that “It is a fact that the committee in its terms of reference said it queried all procurement from 2007 to 2015. Even the Press Release issued was titled; ‘Third Interim Report of the Presidential Committee on Audit of Defence Equipment Procurement from 2007 to 2015.

“First paragraph of the committee report also indicated that it used 2007-2015 as reference, stating that the committee ‘analysed procurement contracts awarded by or for the Nigerian Army between 2007 and 2015.

“Questions Nigerians must now begin to ask President Buhari and his government are: where is the report of Presidential Committee on Audit of Defence Equipment Procurement relating to 2007 to 2010? Who doctored the committee report and why?

“Lai Mohammed said the Committee would commence the audit of procurement from 2007 to 2010 ‘as soon as the necessary documents are available’, it is necessary that Nigerians are told who the custodians of the documents are. Why were documents on procurement from 2011 and 2015 available and those of 2007 to 2010 not available?

“Early this year, we were told that an ally of President Buhari and chieftain of the APC, Brig. General Jafaru Isa (rtd) refunded N100 million of the N170 million he allegedly received from ex-NSA, Sambo Dasuki."

The Ekiti Governor also said “Jafaru Isa who was a member of the 19-man Buhari Transition Committee was released after he was allegedly assisted by the Presidency to refund N100 million to the anti-graft commission and since then, nothing has been heard about the case. He was not charged to court like others.

“It took the Ministry of Defence and ths Code of Conduct Bureau only one week to clear Buratai but others from the opposition party would be languishing in prison while EFCC go about fishing for evidence against them.

“Like I and other well-meaning Nigerians have maintained, fighting corruption is a good idea but the moment documents of probe panels and being doctored to shield those seen as the President’s men, the entire purpose of the corruption fight has been defeated.

“The international community must therefore prevail on President Buhari to stop acting like the grandfather of corruption in Nigeria by making the anti-corruption war all-inclusive instead of this clear persecution of his perceived political enemies, and the first step to demonstrate that will be the immediate release of report of the Presidential Committee on Audit of Defence Equipment Procurement covering 2007 to 2015.”

Na true fayose talk. All the people we know that are very corrupt in apc are free, eg, amaechi. Nonsense. Buhari is no mr integrity. shame on anyone that voted this dullarrpppooo into power.

Who else can say this if not for Fayose. Rather than face issues sorrounding your seized properties and state affairs you are rather behaving as if you are the spoke man of the EFCC. Time will tell. The looser in all this is just the Ekiti people.

One thing is sure, nobody is genuinely against corruption in this country. The President supporters, support him even when his acts are corruption induced. When you remove the name of an indicted person and shield him from investigation and possible charges to court, then you are only encouraging him to steal more. Everyone indicted should be charged to court to go and defend himself.

Hmmm, so u mean you r stil on this issh.... my dear, nigeria has become a country of follow people wey get power.... all this ranting wont change anything, even our sahara reporters cant help on this... just relax nd sip ur kunu... m outta hia

Bubuhari is fantastically corrupt yeye president

Is that all?

D gods r angry

The broom will set you free...

If I catch Buhari eeh!

OK

One interesting thing about these PDP rogues is that they are no longer denying been CORRUPT, in short, it is no longer "witch hunt" as they initially called it thinking PMB will be distracted,their present argument is that they should not go down alone.....................


It is pathetic how Fayose suddenly becomes the judiciary that pronounces judgment even when they want us to pity their members confronted with evidence of loot as not guilty until convicted by a competent court.


My greatest joy about this administration is that "even the rich cries".......I knw many helpless individuals that are dumped in police cells and prisons without conviction yet none of the self acclaimed PDP leaders has ever fought 4 their freedom.

God will surely Bless Buhari 4 bringing equality as concerns detaining of culprits

Fayose well said but all politicians are corrupt even you sir. So there's nothing you're gonna say that'll be new.

Even though I don't like Mr Fayose, I think he asked a pertinent question: why is the Procurement document for 2007-2010 not available? Why probe only that of 2011-2015? When and how will the 2007-2015 Procurement be made available?
To succeed in this fight the President or whosoever must go beyond partisan.

God Bless Nigeria.

Shey PMB promised to expose looters why hasn't he done that? equality indeed

Buhari must understand that his presidency will only last four years and who takes over the seat is still very much unknown.

Buhari. Buhari. Buhari !!!

Tomorrow is still pregnant. Continue in your wickedness, posterity will treat your misbehavior.

Just ride-on mr. Dullaard
