Every big bank moves big money.

Now their analysts says you'll lose elections and you're sweating from your nyash.

You'll ruin our economy and country if given a second term. So we won't.

The Presidency wishes to make clear to all Nigerians, and particularly the global banking giant HSBC which said the second term of President Muhammadu Buhari would stunt the economy, that what killed Nigeria’s economy in the past was the unbridled looting of state resources by leaders, the type which was actively supported by HSBC.

A bank that soiled its hand with ‘‘millions of US dollars yet-to-be-recovered Abacha loot’’ and continued until a few months ago to shield the stolen funds of one of the leaders of the Nigerian Senate has no moral right whatsoever to project that a “second term for Mr. Buhari raises the risk of limited economic progress and further fiscal deterioration.”

Rather, we ask them to heed President Buhari’s constant refrain: return our stolen assets, then see how well we will do.

From the facts available to our investigation agencies, HSBC’s put down on President Buhari is no more than an expression of frustration over the administration’s measures put in place which has abolished grand corruption, the type which this bank thrives on in many countries.
They may also just be out to discredit the President out of the fear of sanctions and fines following the national assets that are stolen.
With the coming of President Buhari, it is not a secret that corruption, corrupt individuals, banks and other corporate entities that aided corrupt practices are under investigation for various offenses.

For many of them, including their friends in the media, they would rather have President Buhari out of their way, for business as usual to return.
Our investigation agencies believe that HSBC had laundered more than USD 100,000,000 for the late General Sani Abacha in Jersey, Paris, London and Geneva.

Among these accounts on the records are: AC: S-104460 HSBC Fund Admin Ltd. Jersey ($12,000,000); AC 37060762 HSBC Life (Europe), U.K ($20,000,000) and AC: 38175076 HSBC Bank Plc. U.K ($1,600,000).
The bank is also suspected in the laundering of proceeds of corruption involving more than 50 other Nigerians, including a serving Senator as earlier indicated.

In a book, “Secrecy World: Inside the Panama Papers Investigation”, published in 2017, Jack Bernstein told the story of global money laundering highlighting the unenviable place of the HSBC.

This is a bank that states and federal authorities in the U.S. forced to pay $1.92 billion to settle charges of money laundering; fined $1.2 billion in Hong Kong for “systemic deficiencies” in bond sales and was made to pay $100 million in currency rigging settlement as reported by The Telegraph of 18th January, 2018.

HSBC said Nigerian economy faced an uncertain future should Buhari win. Less than a week later the govt is attacking HSBC, why didn't the govt ask HSBC for this money before last week?
You can always predict this administration, once you say the truth its media machine (BMC) would go on the offensive.

The Govt have been doing just that. Perhaps, that's why HSBC cunningly and desperately want Govt change. I am not a Buharist, but whoever wins in 2019 should please sustain the pressure on HSBC to release the funds. The money in question will fund Togo's and Benin Rep's budgets for 5 years with "change". All Nigerians should point hands and put pressure on HSBC.

The bone of contention and subject matter here is HSBC helped politicians to keep stolen funds.

U are not talking of the huge amount of money they laundered for politicians but quoting PMB said abacha didn’t steal.

Buhari was the Chairman PTF during Abacha, same man exonerated Abacha of looting, he's accusing the Bank of keeping Abacha's loot, what a Saint. If Abacha looted fund, Buhari was very prived to it.
