Until Tinubu and co are made to prove their sources of wealth as legit, Buhari's anti-corruption war is a scam!

APC are just another copy of the PDP that looted Nigeria in the past afterall.
Why only Tinubu? Do any former governor, minister or any other public officer (including local government councillor ) live within his or her means. What of your own former governors, have you bothered to investigate his means of livelihood?

In Nigeria living above ones means is the norm rather than the exception. Police officers, military officers (lower rank), custom officers, immigration, junior officers of ministries, parastatals and agencies all live way above their salaries. I know very junior navy and army officers that own expensive cars and built houses in lagos and their villages, officers whose monthly salaries are less than N100k a month, some less than N50k.

What makes you think it is not Buhari that ordered CBN to release $2B in cash to Tinubu, to spread around for his re-election?

The Law is not binding on everybody. You must accept that fact and stop worrying about justice.

Justice is a sham you are sold.

EFCC does not work for the masses. EFCC works for those who 'nominate' the Head of EFCC. Do not be misled to thinking you are important or that the law is there to protect you.

The Laws are designed to separate the powerful from the masses. Know that core truth and not let anyone deceive you. Nationhood is a scam, a fraud pulled over your eyes. You are Sovereign and you are enough. As long as you generate your power and feed yourself and take care of all your needs, you do not need the Government, but the government needs you.

Politicians are just ordinary conmen who are too ignorant of how to be Yahoo yahoo, and those who can not stand a chance open Churches, the rest go into business and rip customers off.

Know these truth and take care of your friends and family and expect nothing from Politics. They are all thieves, including Buhari himself. And Yes, I can prove that buhari is a clever Thief. Even Atiku is a handsome criminal, Tinubu is an ugly criminal. Their sources of wealth comes from the Crude Oil under our feet. Our common wealth is what feeds them and not us.

So they are afraid of us uniting and killing them off with their families. That is why EFCC and SARS are sent out to instill fear on the dumb masses.

EFCC keeps mum over Tinubu’s bullion vans ahead of 2019 election
May 25, 2019Samuel Ogundipe

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday declined comments about whether it had launched an investigation to find out how former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu, came about the bullion vans that drove into his home in February.

Nigerians have mounted pressure on the anti-graft office to open money laundering probe against Mr Tinubu, after the ruling party chieftain was seen on February 22 receiving at least two armoured vehicles believed to be bearing cash.

The development raised controversies because it came a day to the presidential election on February 23.


Mr Tinubu is a senior leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and a strong ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, who was seeking reelection at the time.

Critics said there was no doubt the vehicles were conveying cash to bribe voters with, especially since such trucks are used in Nigeria almost exclusively to convey cash by banks, government institutions and cash-in-transit firms.

Mr Tinubu’s action was widely deemed contrary to Nigerian anti-money laundering laws, which places a cap of N5 million ( about $14,000) on cash handling by individuals.


The former Lagos governor admitted the next day that the bullion vans were conveying money to his house, but he defended his action as out of public’s interest because he was not a government official.

Transparency deferred
Many Nigerians expected the EFCC to investigate the incident for possible violation of Nigerian laws.

But the anti-graft office has declined to comment on the matter — and there is no evidence it is investigating it.

The first comments from the agency on the scandal came during a tweet meet on Thursday, during which the agency found a convenient opening to circumvent explanation.


“It is a matter of principle by the EFCC not to discuss in public, issues that border around investigations,” the agency said during the hour-long chat organised by the Tap Initiative in Abuja.


The Tap Initiative, an Abuja-based public policy think-tank, had asked whether or not the EFCC saw potential violations of anti-money laundering regulations in Mr Tinubu’s conduct.

The agency only confirmed that it had secured convictions over vote-buying offences, while several other investigations were ongoing around the same crimes.

It was unclear whether acting-chairman Ibrahim Magu took part in the tweet meet, but EFCC sources told PREMIUM TIMES on Friday night that the responses of the agency came from a senior anti-graft official.


Contributors dismissed the EFCC’s explanation during the tweet meet, saying the agency was reluctant to investigate Mr Tinubu because of his status as an ally of the president.

Martin Obono, the director of Tap Initiative, said the organisation does not engage in partisan commentary about its guests’ submission during a tweet meet, but the citizens have a right to challenge any replies they deem unsatisfactory.

“We have brought the EFCC as a guest on our May 23, 2019, edition of tweet meet, and asked questions that we believe were in the public interest,” Mr Obono said. “But if Nigerians found some of the responses insufficient, they can challenge them to move the conversation forward.”


It was the second time the EFCC would participate in the tweet meet, which Tap Initiative introduced in 2018 to engage public officials for updates on their activities.

Its first appearance came in November 2018, during which the agency similarly declined comments about Abdullahi Ganduje, the Kano State governor who was caught on video receiving wads of dollars in alleged bribes from public works contractor.




https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/331537-efcc-keeps-mum-over-tinubus-bullion-vans-ahead-of-2019-election.html

First the question is did he commit any financial crime or graft ?2ndly were the bullion vans movement traced to any public graft? 3rdly can a private citizen request for cash withdrawals from his account for personal use? Did it follow due process of cash withdrawal and delivery? If all the first questions answer is NO! 2nd NO! 3rd is YES! And the final question is YES! Then there is no case in the matter - dangote once requested that $10m cash be withrawn and I am sure it was a bullion van they used to transport the money to his house - so??
