Butterflyleo:


Lmao so you couldn't say amen to my own prayer despite I said amen to yours.

Suddenly your tune has now become you are not a PDP supporter.

Get out of here you hypocrite

Why should I say Amen to people i never supported in the first place. They pushed Nigeria to the precipice and your master buhari bundled it over so why should I say amen to your prayers?

Ioannes:


Thank you.

This time around we don't HAVE TO vote for any of the two major contenders.

They are only major contenders because they have large financial source and maybe support of the same hapless citizens they rape everyday.


There are other people vying for the presidency.


The masses should make up their minds about one of them and support him totally.


Donald Duke, Sowore, Moghalu, etc can be supported.


Enough of the cries that we don't have other choices.


Why must the presidency be zoned to the North IF there are more capable people in the East or West or Central?

Unfortunately such a vote should be considered wasted, not where APC and PDP exist. They have the financial warchest and most importantly the political structure to win an election at the national level.

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?”

You forgot Tinubu lol

Edcure1:
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.

Just because you think Buhari is there to please you to vote for him? Let them continue ganging up

amadice:
.. Do mind those those confused set of people, imagine banning a dead man from RESTING IN PEACE.. now am very sure these govt as nothing to offer

Did you read the statement below in the write up?

“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."

I hope you can see that this is a class warfare.

How many of them to how many of us?

If the masses adopt someone and then APC and PDP come with their candidates and if votes are monitored closely who do you think will win?

After all shouldn't democracy be a government of the people, by the people, for the people?

The political class understands this, so they divide us with ethnic sentiments and religion.

Op80:
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

That Atiku is the king of corruption in Nigeria did not start today. I advise that you go and read some portions from ''My Watch'' by Obasonjo.
May be you just wake up from grave.

Orji Uzor Kalu has been busy kissing Buhari's a*ss all over the place and campaigning for Buhari's re-election.

Now that Buhari has stabbed him in the back, what is he going to do? LOL.

hucienda:
If Atiku is the Prince of Corruption according to his political opponents, then why is his name not on the purported list?

Are you saying Obasonjo is a political opponent to Atiku?

sokera:
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

What national iinteret. This is called witch-hunt. Do you want to tell me that these are the only corrupt politicians in Nigeria? Tinubu, fashola, amaechi, oshiomole, to mention but a few, why are there names excluded from the list? If you want to fight corruption, fight it to a stand still and not being partisan about it

This list is inconclusive abi na incomplete.
Where is Musiliu Obanikoro and Omisore.
Their names must be transmitted into that list asap

Funnicator:
Buhari's Decree 43 of 1984 re-adopted.

And what is wrong with that?

seborrhic:
How can you ban someone that has not been convicted by a court of law from travelling.
Any person with a commonsense should know this act is utter bu llshit.
The judge that affirmed the order is a quack for affirming something he/she didn't have an understanding of.
Hope a higher judge with commonsense would overturn it if challenged now that people have seen how it wants to be used.

You must be a fellow with very limited exposure or knowledge.

People who are standing trials for serious cases could be restricted from unpermitted travels anywhere in the world.

Ioannes:


My grouse with Buhari is that he is just doing what he should have done since day one of his tenure. He is playing politics with the fight against corruption. One of the reasons I won't vote for him.

Be sincere to yourself. If the surface were smooth, there would have been no need for the latest move. But, they have made it difficult him. In most cases executive orders all over the world are used as last resort. That's the reason why they are called ''executive order'', an abnormal judicial means resort to by the executive to legally unluck impediment or obstacle to justice. It's a rule or order issued by the president to an executive branch of the government and having the force of law.
The president would have loved that these looters were convicted since if it were that easy as you think.

How come Akpabio's and Oshiomole's names are not on that list?

Orji kalu's name is there because he has no electoral value in the east.

PMB till 2023, PDP can come out then, all our corrupt leaders would use their hands to destroy themselves. The return of pmb would bring sanity to the political space, we need a system that works even before development, this present system only favors a few who even corners the development. Atikulate ko, matriculate ni

[quote author=themanderon post=72075961]


The PDP both pushed and bundled us over the edge. We were barely hanging on by a thread over the edge until PMB came and brought us out of recession in a year

What you said is correct and can only happen in sane environment. At the moment, most people dont reason intelligently. Nigerians have not had a taste of what good governance looks like, hence they rely on the mediocre projects carried out by the corrupt political class.

The story of the North is for another day. The East, West, and Central who are supposed to lead the country to prosperity are relegated.

What you wish for won't come immediately, it will take some time... Its a game of Chess... I look forward to someone from the Southeastern part to execute the job!

Why are Atiku, Peter Obi and OBJ's names not there? Buhari dey fear? What of Rotimi Amaechi and Tinubu?Even Oshiomole. Airport Road in Benin that Adams spent billions unaccounted for. One sided stupid corruption fight. Buhari's name should also be on the list!

You spoilt every sweet thing you said when you mentioned OBI.

honjohnbright:
As long as this IGP, Rotimi Amaechi, Tinubu and the rest aren't included on that damned list, Buhari is an embarrassment to reasoning

Before you spew trash,ask yourself if Amaechi and Tinubu currently have any case in court?.

Well there are currently 4 presidential candidates from the east or thereabout. Why are you doing supporting Atiku then?

I love looking at things in an objective manner. That's how to arrive at the truth.

What has prompted this move at this particular time?

Can you point to the facts that back up your claim that Buhari was fighting corruption before now but things have gotten tougher that's why he's using executive order?

If the judiciary is corrupt, how many judges have been arrested and prosecuted?

Cases of corrupt people are stuck in courts across the nation. Inasmuch as the judiciary and the executive are two separate arms, yet through legislation I believe the executive can force the other two arms of government to perform their roles.

Now that an executive order has been given, does that mean that cases will be fast tracked?

Does that mean the government prosecutors will do a good job?

Does that mean that judges will stop collecting bribes?

Executive order barring certain persons from leaving the country is just media hype meant to give an illusion of a fight against corruption if nobody actually goes to jail for corruption.

If Buhari truly wants to fight corruption his first point of callnis cleaning out the Augean stable which our judiciary has turned into.

You have a better hope for high conviction rate when incorruptible judges are presiding over your cases.

I'm sorry but Buhari isn't fighting corruption.

Thanks god my name is not listed , nigeria leader are ugly and bad egg to lay on,

Fighting the corrupt opposition is better than not fighting at all , of PDP had fought the corrupt opposition too like this , maybe Nigeria would have been better than this ... What I am saying is we should stop taking side on these 2 parties ... they are both corrupt... they know how to press our MuMU botton with ethnicity and religion propaganda
