36years Later, Former Governor Ambrose Folorunsho Granted Presidential Pardon by Benblaq(m): 3:25pm On Apr 09, 2020
Governor Ambrose Folorunsho Alli was sentenced to 100 years in prison by the General Muhammadu Buhari-led military regime in 1984, for allegedly misappropriating N983,000 in funds for a road project.

Five years after, Alli died on his 60th birthday on September 22, 1989. The Ambrose Alli University in Ekpoma, Edo State, which he founded as Bendel State University, was named after him.
36 years after sentencing former Governor Ambrose Folorunsho Alli of Bendel State to 100 years in prison, President Muhammadu Buhari has now granted the late Alli a presidential pardon. #HistoryVille

I can accurately predict that someone in the future will also jail Buhari in the nearest future, either in person or in absentia

He was accused of misappropriating less than a million naira,not even a million dollars or pounds unlike now when govt officials misappropriate billions of dollars embarassed

I wept myself when i saw the resting place of a one time governor as he was.

He basically acquired nothing in public fund

Exactly. Even his tomb looks good than the mud house.
Nothing at all

When I went there i didn't know whether to cry or just laugh at the current Nigeria leaders.

An average council can't even be contented with what Alli had

A million naira then is as strong as a million dollar now. Check the history of the rates.

It is a lot.



What folks didn't realize about Buhari was his nepotistic part. He goes against those he doesn't see as complete citizens. So how many muslims up north died in Jail like Ambrose Alli F.?
Same for his current anti-corruption drive.

Then he would pardon Fela for pushing justice Okoro-Idogu to jail him unjustly.

Then, he will explain the 69 suitcases he allowed into the country when others were being checked and seized.
