[size=14pt]PDP exposes Buhari on corruption •Gets Ribadu's record ready[/size]
Sunday, 20 March 2011

The Presidential Campaign Council [PCC] of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed the anti-corruption posturing of the presidential candidates of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Malam Nuhu Ribadu which it described as hypocritical, and self- serving.

The Campaign Council advised the two candidates to desist from selling wrong images about themselves, stating that evidence detailing their misdemeanour and unwholesome conduct abound to prove that they were not the innocent politicians that they have been claiming to be.

It said it would be more acceptable if Buhari and Ribadu limit their campaign promises to the manifestoes of their respective political parties and the personal agenda that they have for the country rather than portraying themselves as apostles of anti-corruption which it said they are far from.

In a statement issued in Abuja, the Director of Research and Strategy of the PCC, Mike Omeri said that the antecedents of the two, who he described as self-acclaimed anti-corruption ‘stars’ had proved that they had had their hands soiled with acts of corruption during their different years in government.

It threatened to fully expose the two presidential candidates and match them action for action in their avowed commitment to dent the image of President Goodluck Jonathan with lies that they have been peddling against him.

Omeri, in the statement recalled that in 1984 General Buhari exhibited double standard in public administration by allowing 52 suit cases suspected to be filled with hard currency through his ADC into Nigeria without passing through the customs check point for the mandatory custom clearance.

He said the development was a clear case of money laundering. “And we wonder what moral right such a candidate had to talk about anti- corruption”.

The statement stated further that the case of Nuhu Ribadu the erstwhile chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was more shocking.

The Campaign Committee recalled that In 2007 while answering questions from the Senate on the alleged acts of corruption by some governors, Ribadu pointedly said that the corruption of the former governor of Lagos state, Senator Bola Tinubu was “of international dimension”.

It added, “Is it not curious that the same person with such a tag is now the political godfather of Ribadu and sole financier of his political campaigns?

“To also show Ribadu’s lack of faith in the anti-corruption fight, he recently said and we quote:“I won’t bother myself with the integrity of politicians that will fund my campaign. I will take corrupt politicians money for my campaign as far as the money is not put in my pocket.”


“What kind of role model is Ribadu and how can Nigerians believe him if he says that he will jail corrupt politicians if he emerges as the country’s president?

“Ribadu by such posturing has given Tinubu a clean bill of health which is not only hypocritical, but evidence that given the same opportunity, he would not have done better than the governors whom he had indicted.

What an hypocritical tool you are. Mumu first class. grin

So the Presidential Campaign Council is now the FG? How do you people reason this mumuciously? shocked Any eediotic group can rise up today and make allegations. Now your Mumuluck Odechukwu Jonathan is resorting to the same tactics he used against Atiku. Unfortunately this time around with Buhari, Mumuluck is going to get his hands real burnt!

Re: Pdp Exposes Buhari On Corruption •gets Ribadu's Record Ready by ekubear1: 9:25am On Mar 20, 2011
Wow.

That is actually a strong endorsement of Buhari by the PDP.

With full control of the Petroleum Trust Fund, military dictator of Nigeria, all of that power he had and billions of dollars in his control. . .

. . .  and the worst they could find was 52 suitcases?  shocked

Truly an upright man, Buhari.

I'm sure if we dig deeply into Goodluck's tenture in Bayelsa, we can find a lot more than that grin grin grin
Re: Pdp Exposes Buhari On Corruption •gets Ribadu's Record Ready by reckless: 9:26am On Mar 20, 2011
@Beaf, you did not tell us where buhari's oil rig is? Where his house in lagos and Abuja are? And above all how much the guy is worth unlike your odechukwu that depleted our foreign reserve with nothing to show for it. I'm sure you read what his Godfather OBJ said y'day in the Nation nespaper couertsy Feme Fani Kayode, that this govt is not working but just looting. Shine your eyes and stop this blind followership. Some of us are more Niger Deltan than you but refuse to succumb to nepotism and tribalism for the future of our children. This is no time for blackmail, but for purposeful leadership to atleast salvage this country from total collapse. A word is enough for the wise!

While I leave Buhari to defend himself, what has the PDP government, headed by Saint Jonathan, done about this allegation? Or is it just for entertainment or self-serving political purposes?
Re: Pdp Exposes Buhari On Corruption •gets Ribadu's Record Ready by proudly9ja(m): 10:53am On Mar 20, 2011
I leave PDP with this intelligent response from Prince Stephen on vanguard newspaper online service.

Mike Omeri, you said Buhari allowed in 52 suit cases SUSPECTED TO BE FILLED WITH HARD CURRENCY through his ADC without passing through the customs check-point for the mandatory customs clearance. "SUSPECTED TO BE FILLED WITH HARD CURRENCY ".

How could hard currency have been packed inside 52 suit cases and flown into Nigeria? From what country? Do you other countries do the same nonsense you guys do in Nigeria? Do you know how much money will be in a suit case? 52 suit cases filled with money leaving a foreign country to Nigeria.

Be smart Mike, what l expected you to do was to come out and tell us that PDP is not corrupt not you coming to ask Nigerians what right Buhari have to talk about corruption. You must be seriously confused and disturbed.

Who the hell do you think you are to talk about Buhari that way? This is a man who was a former Governor, a former Minister for Petroleum, Fomer Head of State, former Chairman Petroleum Task Force, yet he had to take a bank loan to build himself a house in his home town when he left office, as of today, he has no house in Abuja because he can simple not afford it. What sort of human being will question Buhari claim to fight corruption in Nigeria.

Mike please, if you can not say thank you to a leader and a man who is not corrupt, shut up and keep quite. In all the positions he held, he would have gotten himself several oil wells, made trillions and be a very rich man today, but he did not soil his hands and you question the integrity of such a man? Shame on you. His actions clearly showed that there was nothing illegal in those suit cases. The owner of those suit cases was an Emir who went on pilgrimage with his families. Women we know loves to shop and if you take into consideration of the numbers of wives a moslem Emir will marry and the number of children and subjects he loves and wants to give gifts to, what is 52 suits cases of cloths? Buhari will win the election and all the thieves in this country that have plunder us for so long, will cough out everything they have stolen from us, it must happen.

PDP should come up with another line. We don't even have to think hard to respond to you again. Try harder abeg.

^^^^^
Our attention has been drawn to another lousy outing by President Goodluck Jonathan’s “Chemical Alli”, Mike Omeri wherein he sought to abuse the office of the President to spread low quality rumour against the man his paymaster is handing over to in 71 days time, General Muhammadu Buhari. From under the “umblerah” (umbrella) of shame where they have been hibernating since they ran from the Presidential debate because they could not get questions in advance, Omeri ran to foul the atmosphere with a thoughtless charge that General Buhari is not sincere about his resolve to rid Nigeria of corruption. In the usual audacious incompetence of the Jonathan camp, Omeri’s only evidence to support his assertion is the fabled “53 suitcases” of 1984.

For a campaign that parades a PHD on top of its ticket, we would ordinarily expect that any subject they want to attack would be properly researched but unfortunately, the way governance in Nigeria has not seen any touch of intellect in the last 10 months is also reflecting in their puerile propaganda. For the sake of the unwary who may be tempted to believe there is any substance to this urban legend, we recap what happened.

In 1984, the Emir of Gwandu whose son was ADC to General Buhari was returning to the country from overseas. The Head of state on learning of his arrival asked his son to go and receive him at the airport as they were only playing squash at the time. Coincidentally, the Nigerian ambassador to Libya at the time, Dr Tahir Waziri arrived at the same time with the Emir with his three wives and 16 children. They all came with their belongings as he was coming home to take up a new appointment as chief of protocol to the Head of state. It was the suitcases of the family of 20 that were counted as belonging to the Emir and falsely presented to the public. General Buhari has over the years asked those who have questions over the matter to go to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who was at the head of Customs operations at the airport on the day. Now we are further suggesting this as a research topic for a doctoral thesis by the president when he hands over on May 29, 2011.

Having come clean on this as General Buhari does with all his public service records, we are asking President Jonathan a few questions as we await his threat of exposing his main challenger, a feat which his godfathers in PDP have been unable to achieve since 2002, that he threw his hat in the ring against the ruling party. Here we go:

Can Mr President explain what happened to the case of N104m seized from Nancy Ebere Nwosu who allegedly swore to an affidavit to the EFCC that she was laundering money for Dame Patience Jonathan?

What about the announcement by the then EFCC spokesman, Mr Osita Nwajah on September 11, 2006  that the sum of $13.5m was seized from another associate of Mrs Jonathan which the anti-graft body said belonged to the now first lady?

Any explanation on the several billions of Naira which DSP Alamiesegha left in Bayelsa coffers as at the time of his impeachment which was allegedly squandered in months by Jonathan without anything to show for it?

Who presided over the FEC meeting in October 2009 where a 4km runway at Abuja Airport was awarded for N64b? Late President Yaradua was already in Saudi Hospital as at the time!

What happened to the $30b Yaradua left in the excess crude account that is virtually empty now?

How come it is only Nigeria under Jonathan whose foreign reserve is depleting among oil producing nations at this time of high increases in prices of oil products?

We understand Jonathan is scared of General Buhari promise to check out what happened to the billions of dollars the ruling PDP has sunk to the power sector to give Nigeria further darkness instead of light because he has supervised that sector in the last four years. No amount of cheap shots will stop the change Nigeria awaits from ensuring that Nigerians enjoy regular power supply starting from finding out what the PDP did to put the light out so that money never pour into procuring darkness in our country again
