Four former Nigerian governors accused of corruption are on the run from the anti-graft agency, after their terms of office expired on Tuesday.

Elected officials enjoy immunity from prosecution while in power.

The runaway governors did not hand over power in inauguration ceremonies held across the country.

Like I've said why are they all on the run now? Why not stay behind and proclaim your innocence from wrong doing?

Bu haa haa haa haa haa. . .


Everyday for the thief. . .

first on the run = joshua dariye, he wasnt at the handover  

how funny. why are they running now when there is no one chasing them?

Why are they running? When they were in power all of them claimed to be angel. It is there conscience that is hunting them even more than the EFCC fear. Most of them turned government treasury to there personal purse. That is why there is visible poverty every where in the country. It serves them right.
Now the big question is will ICPC, EFCC and code of conduct try the Obasanjo and his kitchen cabinet members over looting of public fund?

how sad,
i really think the immunity clause should not be extended to[b] criminal offences[/b]
once convicted of criminal act , it should be fair if the public officer is prosecuted
they should not be made to feel above the law which is basically what the immunity clause confers on them

i hope this adminstration will think in that line

This immediate 8 years was first of its kind in the history of nigeria as far as democracy is concerned.

All the leaders then thought that democracy is all about stealing public fund.
i can't blame them b/cos they where learning.

let them run God go punish dem 1 by 1
that's the lovely thing about democracy is that if u lyk u fit do heaven and hell wen u get d power but 1 day u will forfeit that power and you will suffer for ur actions

Agagu ur own turn will come 1 day

i strongly believe that nija will be atleast corruption minimize .friends watch out for nemesis will catch up with corrupt leader soon .it is a function of time we shall all be the witness to the end of the unrepented corrupt leader

what did AGAGU do? can you tell us please?

hahaha

another bbc story.
i have seen and heard enough,but my eyes and ears are still open.

Agagu your own turn will come 1 day

To bad because i don't think that day is ever gonna come

And what has Agagu done

there is no confirmation that they are 'on the run', they merely did not attend the hand over ceremonies and did not issue 'statements' like some of the others did. The next few days/weeks will prove whether they are actually on the run or not.

anyways, the so called 'big fish' who were the greatest thorns in the former govt's side - Tinubu and Kalu are still around and are not running anywhere. SO lets see if the rumored cases we've been hearing about all along will actually develop into solid accusations.

Abeg leave me alone

I am still rolling.Nothing wan person no go see for our 9Ja.How somebody wan dey prison go win election?

my people the ealier we stop listening to rumour-mongers,the better for us.( cnn,bbc,fox alias false news).
what makes bbc to coclude and tell the world,that naijas corrupt ex govs are on the run?
how can the be on the run if they are not declared wanted?
were they invited for questioning and they didnt show up?
did efcc or the nigerian police inform bbc,that the ex gov. are on the run?

this story remains false untill,efcc or nig. police declares the ex gov. wanted.chikena

them wan dey on d run diie!!!!!chimaroke travelled out of d country 3wks before handing over.Dariye sneaked out of jos.what oda confirmation do u nid my charge n bail lawyer?, them don ja men, get that into ya head.

As 4 Asiwaju Tinubu n Uzor kalu,they r goin no-where n nobodi is gon do any nonsense wit them, they r very solid politicians.

Thank you very much ma brother,

It is all a charade! Who should be on the run? If confirm rogues like Peter Odili should stay put, is it Boni Haruna that will be on the run? Nigerians are more clever than this.

that is all games. why will obj and ribadu inform everyone that after hand over certain governors will be arrested. who will wait and die of the unjustified arrest and persecution of ribadu and obj?
why wouldn't ribadu wait for alamasiya to expire his tenure before they used his own house against him. Goodluck has been rewarded for his betrayal.
am sure obj is not among the former rulers that ran away so let the corrupt practices organisation start from him as we all know he at one time or the other linked with corruption cases and typical among others is the involvement of the presidential jet in a money laundary involving andy uba in the united states of america of which part of the funds were traced to the use of buying farm equipments for uttah farms.
who is decieving who?

u r highly misinformed.Goodluck Jonathan is a man of destiny, He never betrayed anybody.He neva begged to be VP.He was just honest n it paid off, God is on his side, He only utilises opportunities that come his way.

Bout the other issues,,i agree with u, obj will suffer in jail 4 d rest of his life.he n his partners-in-crime.

Hahahaha!
I thought they all said that there hands are clean, why are they on the run most xpecially when the Country and State needed their Successful Handover ceremony.
When the hen polute the air, the ground begins the chase after him.

They are enemy of progress. they don't want to see the progress of these country but I tell they have all failed. From their master (Baba Iyabo) to the lease of them.
THEY SAID THAT POWER IS SWEET WHEN THEY  ARE IN OFFICE LET THEM COME AND THE ENJOY THE SAME POWER WITH BABA IN THE FARM.
SHAME ON THEM!

[i]It is really too bad that some of us are not adequately inform on some setting issues before addressing them, Goodluck is a very high powered betrayer fellow, but just that His fruit has given him a table to sob from., Be inform that he was the one who sold his Master (ALAMS) out for what i call CHEAP Favour. Be inform.

Let's still keep our fingers crossed and see wait is yet to unfold,

is igbinedion on d run too?

i quote my man 2pac 'maybe my addiction with friction gets me bugging, where there is no love, i'll neva quit my ambition to thugs'. the so called governors failed to understand that they are d representatives of milions of nigerians, not just at home but in diaspora. LET THEM FLEE, THEIR GENERATIONS WILL PAY 4 IT, SAYS THE LORD OF HOST.

Trust me, nothing is going to happen. If James Ibori is being considered for a ministerial position (possibly petroleum) and Orji Uzo Kalu is apparently Yaradua's main man ( there are claims that he is his only friend among the governors) who then is going to be arrested and for what?
I weep for my country

Please, tell the young man, he is used to making very very wrong statements based on non existent premises and defends same as facts. This is dangerous and should be condemned.

Ask him to clarify his lies and he will disappear from the forum for the next 1 month and come back when people must have forgotten the lies.

Chimaroke Nnamani ran one month before the hand over. up till now no nobody knows his where about. His own is that there are many that are after him. find out!!!!
