No substance or evidence of the claim in this report.

In a day or two, we will hear twists to it.

Naijaguy12345:
It shouldn't be that hard for Obanikoro to travel. First he is a dual citizen of Nigeria and USA.

While Nigeria authority can seize his passports, his American passport remains the property of United state of America.

Him being a former ambassador to Ghana, all he has to do is to find his way to Ghana or Republic of Benin and apply for his American passport from there.
Nigeria can seize all his passport since he is under trial in Nigeria for crime committed in Nigeria.
the presidency helped him out of the country.

Fayose only sin is because he's not an APC member

Obanikoro has entered into the plea bargaining, let your hero do the same.

Information reaching the PoliticsNGR newsdesk today reveals that Former Minister, Musliu Obanikoro has reportedly traveled to the US, a few days before the court case of Former Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose is set to commence.

Obanikoro, who was listed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC to testify against Fayose left the country last Wednesday for Medical treatment an did not specify a date of return.

A former Minister of State for Defence, Obanikoro, traveled shortly after he retrieved his passports from the EFCC.

This is despite a directive by the Federal Government that 50 persons under investigations for fraud exceeding N50m are restricted from travelling.

Obanikoro, who has an American passport and a Nigerian one, reportedly met certain conditions before his passports were returned to him.

Obanikoro has been under investigation since 2016 for allegedly receiving N4.7bn from the embattled former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), in 2014.

The former minister allegedly handed over about N1.3bn to former Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State and another N1.3bn to the then Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Osun State in 2014, Senator Iyiola Omisore.

After Fayose was arrested by the EFCC last Tuesday, however, it was learnt that Obanikoro traveled to the US.

The former minister, who has defected to the All Progressives Congress, had declared his intention to run for the Lagos West senatorial district election but shelved his ambition at the last minute.

It's very funny hearing zombies refer to the lifeless one as Mr Integeity, I begin to wonder if Integrity means sumtyn different in there dictionary.

Buhari is the most corrupt man on earth and would dine with the devil just to retain power, he is power drink, egocentric, nepotic and clueless.

No wonder he is mute about Ganduje bullion Van Agbada, and probably forming the "I am not aware".

2019 election is between

Team Nigeria Vs Team Buharist.

God bless
His Excellency Atiku Abubakar

Faces of hardened rogues!
Today's Nigeria is owned disproportionately by the ruling class as they alone have access to the rich resources of the nation and to the good things of life. This is an insane aberration as they possess no greater citizens rights than the rest of Nigerians. The rest of Nigerians owe it a duty to themselves and to generations unborn and indeed a divine obligation to own up and reclaim their God given motherland from the hands of criminal bandits disguised as political leaders. The time to fight for the reclamation of our Commonwealth is like yesterday and enlistment into this army is compulsory to all bona fide country men and women.

Obanikoro returned part of loot. All under investigation are offered that deal to return part of loot and there won't be prosecution. Anybody being tried rejected the deal or offered to return what prosecutors deem unacceptable. So not matter of APC here

Of course, it is a matter of the nepotistic APC! Why, in the first place, do you set free a self confessed criminal who conceded to returning fragments of his loot? How is justice served?
