So just for remembering the past misdeed of Obj - Buhari is the most corrupt ! Where is the sense in your talk ? Bad belle ipob spotted .
. Would he have remembered it if Obj was still supporting him? Whenever somebody speaks the truth,you people call him ipob. Nawa for some people sha.

I laugh when people take that old thief serious.
What about awarding Lagos - Ibadan exp road like 2 or 3 times. What about his failed 3rd term agenda that made him hate Atiku till date. Unfortunately for him, he will be retired after 2019 elections, becos the project of demarketting Buhari will be his final disgrace.

And you think Buhari has any marketing values?.

Obasanjo blew $16bn on phantom power project and this is the right time to question it after you have spent more than three years in power. Why didn't you make mention of it when the going was rosy between you two?I wonder why some people are still flocking around you calling you Mr.Integrity when everything in reading no integrity.When Obasanjo was calling for Jonathan's probe I am sure you were having a good laugh and cordial relationship until things fell apart and you started digging up his past.A good anti-corruption crusader must separate personal feelings and vendetta from the crusade itself if he must win the anti-corruption war.You have seen many bizarre corruption allegations under your very nose but feign ignorant.From Babachir,Maina,Baru, to NHIS boss, and the rest of them.And your party has become a refuge for corrupt politicians who pledge an allegiance to you.

When he was supporting the government, he was not queried now he is meeting stakeholders for 2019, he is now part of the problem.


I thought it was only Jonathan. Obviously, their ex navigators recent Afenifere meeting is paining them.


Also why are the heads of our institutions openly joining campaigns for APC? Why won't they then divert funds for campaign purposes?

It's another kind of game and you can never trust politicians. I still remember what Obj did to IBB when he showed interest in contesting the presidency in 2007. He simply hounded his son and business associates, Adenuga and co.
If Buhari takes the same route against him I am sure he will wail loudly unlike IBB who kept quiet.

Buhari should also account for the billions budgetted by Abacha when he was chairman of PTF.
He should also account for the astronomical increase in subsidy claims since 2015,despite almost 75% increase in pump price and reduction in fuel consumption!
While at it,Buhari should also account for the billions budgetted for Asorock clinic,that still doesn't have paracetamol while he still travels abroad for an ordinary checkup!!
The last person that should be querying anyone about accounting for funds is Buhari because right from his days as petroleum minister to PTF chairman and now president,fraudulent and unaccounted for monies and budgets have been his second nature.


So you know all these and yet voted for Buhari.


I cast away every spirit of hypocrisy in Jesus Name Amen.

No, because it's legally wrong to mention names of people yet to be indicted by the court of law as corrupt. Everyone is innocent until proven otherwise.

This is what sane people do, not to throw names around.

If he's corrupt, why did Obj, Yaradua or Jonathan not probe him in their time? As hot as 2015 was, he would have been exposed!

What is he waiting for naa?

Perhaps Buhari will be touching the tiger's tail by this though it's good to call our leader to accountability. However he that comes to equity must come with clean hands.Can Buhari please give Nigerians satisfactory answers as concerns;
-How the then PTF funds were misappropriated under his chairmanship?
-How can he reasonable correlate his "Abacha didn't stole a dime" statement & the staggering amount of returned looted funds traced to his despot dictator brother?
-How #3billion was budgeted for Aso Rock Clinic but embezzled & no one have been called to accountability?
-How $24billion worth of NNPC contracts were signed btw him & Mikanti Baru while he have constitutionally handed power to Osinbajo while on admission in a London hospital hence committing a constitutional sacrilege?
- What is the justification of a $1billion counter insurgency fund for a BH group that his government had categorically told Nigerian have been defeated?
So what stopped GEJ from investigating Buhari?

you should be wise enough by now to understand that politics is just a game.

if only you understand the game of chess, then you will understand how politics works.

sometimes you make a move that will handicap your opponent thereby curtailing their own move.

obj might have probably forgotten that those who live in the glass house should not throw stones.

buhari, with this latest move, is probably trying to remind him of that basic fact!

it's all a game brother!

don't ever allow yourself to think otherwise!!!

Obj never spent $16 on power. Nigerians will soon be awakened to the reality. Just watch out. Even the goggle will tell you that the HOR inquiry did not state that amount $16b.

Oga, stop what you had no idea about. The house of representative committee that investigated the awards of many power contracts under Obj concerning that 16 billion dollars came up with a very damning report that scared the hell out of me. In some instances, 90% of the total contract money were paid upfront as mobilisation fee and the committee members couldn't locate the sites of such projects because not a block was dropped at the site of the projects. It was just a pity that the committee itself was eventually caught up in the bribery scandal.

Buhari queries Obasanjo over $16bn power project

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday querried the spending of $16 on power project during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.


The president was speaking at the Presidential Villa in Abuja while receiving the Buhari Support Organization led by the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Ahmed Ali.

Buhari did not mention Obasanjo's name, but asked where was the power after a former president claimed to have spent $16bn on the project.

The House of Representatives had in 2008 described $16 billion spent on power by Obasanjo's government as colossal waste, blaming it on "poor budget planning and a lack of proper oversight by relevant bodies.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project had also in 2016 urged the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Water Samuel Onnoghen, to immediately appoint an independent counsel to investigate allegations of corruption in the spending of $16 billion on electricity by Obasanjo's government.

If that looks like taking side with someone to you I doubt where to place your intellectual savvy.Someone squandered $16bn and there was no mention of it when he (Obasanjo)was on his side but sooner were they fell apart than he started making mention of it and you still believe something is not wrong with anti-corruption crusade.My take is, he who genuinely desires to fight corruption should maintain even scales of justice without tilting them to one side,that is,no lopsidedness.
