Remove Rtd Lt.Gen Ihejirika from that your list

Ihejerika that used the Boko Haram crisis to make money off purchase of military equipment depriving the soldiers in battle. The blood of the dead soildiers are crying and will not cry in vain

This was an I'll advised decision. It will only bolster their resolve to gang up and work against him during the election.

It will even be better for Buhari if these people left Nigeria and return after the elections.

Buhari hasn't shown any sign of tact since the inception of his administration. The cabal of clannish boneheads that do most of the thinking and decision on his behalf has been the bane of this government from day one.

Isn't how they brought Jonathan to its knees?

these are the reasons why obj and ko are sacred of PMB coming back 2019.Nigerians should know these people ganging up against PMB don't mean well for us.they want to continue milking our treasury.Atiku already promised to compensate them .Ask him with what?

Since the emergence of Atiku, I have been hearing that he is the prince of corruption. That he looted Nigeria to build empire. Now, this list excludes his name why? If they refuse to include Atikus name on that list, then, I will conclude that Atiku is as pure as Gold and I will vote for him. Anticorruption my foot. Atiku is corrupt my poo. Nonsense

So Atiku built one of the biggest university in Nigeria with money from where?

Nice one buhari, this is the reason why we should vote him for a second term... We'll be seeing more of this

This is exceptionally dangerous.

I repeat again. Whatever precedent is set will live on and beyond the tenure of any administration.

Folks will get wiser down the line and future Presidents will forge all sorts of executive orders to do their bidding and guess who might be a victim tomorrow.

Let no one cry out in future. Nuff said.

Nukilia:


Can we just stop defending this corrupt guy! Hope you can tell Nigerians how much PMB has contributed to the health sector in Nigeria.
Gone are the days when we choose to defend tyrants.

But if I ask you, I'm sure you will tell me you are going to vote for Atiku, right?

I'm not saying Buhari is a good leader. As far as I'm concerned he is a failure. What I'm saying is there is no law forbidding him from seeking medical treatment outside the country, so saying that he should be jailed because of that is moot because he hasn't broken any law for that.

Should he have revamped the nation's health sector such that Nigerians will have access to the kind of treatment he went for overseas? Absolutely yes.

See Igbo reasoning

Always delusional.

Ehiscotch:
Funny how this list is filled largely with northerners and even the Orji Uzor Kalu that has declared support for the PMB admin and is an APC member.

To the guy a few comments above me: These people on the list can not bolster anything has many of them are of little or zero political importance and have no electoral value. Even the ones that had prior to their trials have been abandoned by their party members and associates and have been left to face their own "business".
Others were just appointees who took advantage of their offices loot this country of our resources and plummet us into retrogression and recession.

Finally, the elections are drawing nearer and the admin are in a hurry to secure quick wins and make most of their anticorruption mantra. They are trying to everything within a legal and constitutional framework - even if it seems military, all they have to do is modify it.

The funny thing be say, at the end of the day, they are setting trap for themselves with their own laws.

Just imagine PDP wining Abuja 2019 and placing travel ban on people like Tinubu, Amaechi, Ganduje, oshiomole and co......

APC go cry tire

mrhowoto:
What is the name of Justice Umezulike that was buried about three weeks ago doing on that list? Buhari Apc and all its supporters are cursed. Our prayers are needed for the self acclaimed change mantra vagabonds.

He died too sudden so the fg wants him to answer all his corruption cases before he leave for heaven or hell ...hence he ll ve to remain in his grave till he's cleared ...hope this help?

Brilliant, I wish you are the personal adviser of PMB, as the lack of wisdom tact and moderation is clearly missing in his government.

Rilwayne001:

Go get an education because you are too dull.
Its only a court that can restrict the movement of somebody that it has not convicted and they do that by ordering the seizure of passports of those undergoing trial if it deems fit.
Since there is that well established,worldwide, legal practice,why does any sane president and government still need any other executive order if not to exercise fascist powers.
When some of you post,one gets to wonder how some of you lots ever passed through any level of schooling at all.It has little to do with sycophancy because even a sycophant contributes sense atimes.
is just embarrassing.

Technically. Buhari is fighting selected corrupt leaders and alleged looters of the treasury not fighting corruption.

Corruption is a system that has established itself as a belief and a way of life to those who practice it.

Buhari needs to understand corruption as a system and try to involve all stake holders and of course all Nigerians,

If you fight corruption alone, you will end up revolting against the entire systems creating enemies instead of supporters,

PMB may end leading the most corrupt government while fighting corrupt politicians alone instead of the system that produce them.

Corruption is a feminine figure loved by many... it reproduces faster than you can imagine. you have to kill it reproductive strength and nature to emerge as hero in the fight against corrupt systems.

So if they travel then Escape Justice you’ll help them serve their time abi

This is what Nigerians don't know. Buhari doesn't care about what you think of him or his administration. He does whatever he think is right. Let's think of it, election is drawing closer, why would he have taken such a brave step when he knew that this action is going to increase the number of his critics and haters consequently having a negative effect on his total voters?

Buhari is missing a lot of things how can you do this when general election just few months away and you think these ones will not go extra length to see your end. Buhari is a defiant truly this man lack internal technical know how sorry is not fit to be a leader he lacks so many things beside no court of law has convicted any of these people yet then what the hell is the ban about

More than half of them are Northerners. Buhari should jail them if not I won't vote for him.

KEVIND:
A former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd), 13 former governors and seven ex- ministers have been barred from travelling out of the country under Executive Order 6 (EO6) issued yesterday by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The restriction followed the judicial affirmation of the constitutionality and legality of the Executive Order 6 (EO6).

The watch-list and restriction were put in place pending the conclusion of the cases against those affected.

Also on the watch list seen last night by The Nation are: ex-governors Saminu Turaki (Jigawa), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Adebayo Alao-Akala (Oyo), Gabriel Suswam (Benue), Rasheed Ladoja (Oyo), Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia), Danjuma Goje (Gombe), Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto), Muazu Babangida Aliyu (Niger); Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Gbenga Daniel (Ogun); and Ibrahim Shehu Shema (Katsina).

The ex-ministers are Nenadi Usman, Bashir Yuguda, Jumoke Akinjide; Bala Mohammed; Abba Moro; Femi Fani-Kayode; and Ahmadu Fintiri.

Others include a former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh; ex- Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral A. D. Jibrin; a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Mohammed Dikko Umar; a former Inspector-General of Police, Sunday Ehindero; and a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu; Chairman Emeritus of AIT/ Raypower, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi; Waripamowei Dudafa (a former Special Assistant (Domestic) to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan); a former Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Innocent Umezulike; a former judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia;

Also on the list are a former National Publicity Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh; Chief Jide Omokore; Ricky Tarfa; and Dele Belgore (SAN).

Most of the affected persons are currently facing trial for alleged corrupt practices in different courts.
The list was generated from cases and proceedings filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), the Nigeria Police, and 17 other agencies.
The document indicated that many of those affected had earlier been placed on similar legal restrictions by the courts and security agencies including restriction of movement, seizure of passport, temporary forfeiture of assets, freezing of accounts and others.

Explaining the government’s action in a statement yesterday, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), Mallam Garba Shehu said: “Following the instant judicial affirmation of the constitutionality and legality of the Executive Order 6 (EO6), President Muhammadu Buhari has mandated the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Minister of Justice to implement the Order in full force.

“To this end, a number of enforcement procedures are currently in place by which the Nigeria Immigration Service and other security agencies have placed no fewer than 50 high profile persons directly affected by EO6 on watch-list and restricted them from leaving the country pending the determination of their cases.

“Also, the financial transactions of these persons of interest are being monitored by the relevant agencies to ensure that the assets are not dissipated and such persons do not interfere with, nor howsoever corrupt the investigation and litigation processes.

“It is instructive to note that EO6 was specifically directed to relevant law enforcement agencies to ensure that all assets within a minimum value of N50 million or equivalent, subject to investigation or litigation are protected from dissipation by employing all available lawful means, pending the final determination of any corruption-related matter.
“The Buhari administration reassures all well-meaning and patriotic Nigerians of its commitment to the fight against corruption, in accordance with the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and the general principles of the Rule of Law.

“Accordingly, this administration will uphold the rule of law in all its actions and the right of citizens would be protected as guaranteed by the Constitution.
“We, therefore, enjoin all Nigerians to cooperate with the law enforcement authorities towards ensuring a successful implementation of the Executive Order 6 which is a paradigm-changing policy of the Federal Government in the fight against corruption.”

A top government official, who spoke in confidence, said there is no cause for alarm on E06.
The source said: “The ban is not different from the conditions given by the court in granting these accused persons bail. The E06 is like a codification of steps to prevent those on trial for alleged corrupt practices from tampering with assets.

“Some of these accused persons used to go to court for permission before they can travel out of the country. The E06 is not a new thing but instead of all agencies working at cross-purposes, a list was generated and backed with the Executive Order.
“Some of those on trial, especially the Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) had been selling their assets. What will they return after being convicted?”

the same courts withhold an accused passport so he doesn't jump bail. Even before trial starts. So what are you saying? You people will just be typing for the sake of it

As usual Oshobaba is a saint, Amaechi, Fashola, Tinubu Akpabio Uduaghan case is still with EFCC yet his name is not among. Weldon sir Mr integrity my ass.

that is to tell you that Buhari put the National interest first before his personal interest, so because he want to contest and win election he should allow those that robbed the country dry to escape from the country ? May God help you from hate
