More revelations on
stolen public funds
during his tenure are
still emerging, but remains the most honored Nigerian president with series of international honors and engagement . Celebrated till date as the icon and hero of democracy . Till date all efforts of his successor to link him with looted funds have failed woefully , they are still trying frantically but his popularity is soaring higher on the international scene

His regime in terms
of corruption cannot
be described in
words, but had never been indicted directly or indirectly as a former deputy governor , governor , vice president and president .

14. *2015 - date.* PMB. The fantastically corrupt leader , he was forced on Nigerians through rigging and under aged voting of almajiris and threatened to soak Nigerians in their blood should he not be allowed to rule .It is on record to be sponsored by jihadist and was appointed as spokes person for the Boko Haram In 2013 parley with the federal government . A sponsor of herdsmen himself , and whose ambition is to forcefully collect lands and waterways of indigenous Nigerians for his imported brothers from the west African countries .

First presidential candidate to have presented fake and forged WASC results for four consecutive presidential elections and hired 28 SAN to defend him . First Nigerian president with no known diploma or degree to his credit ,and first Nigerian military president with no international honours to his name . No known books or memoir written , very lazy in reading , analogical president who knows nothing around him for himself ,except what his overzealous advisers tell him .
The only international award to his name was fraudulently packaged by one fake Martin Luther king foundantion based in Ghana , though his PR guys paid $ 3million for this award that was quickly denounced and debunked not to emanate from the authentic MLK Jr foundation based in Chicago .
Fake integrity hurriedly built to hoodwink his gullible supporters in 2015 but later crashed like a pack of cards when he could not live up to the role , he rode to power with looted funds , great
tolerance for
corruption and financial misappropriation for his cronies , recovery of looted funds, and re- looted under his watchful complicity , a fake and pretentious ethnic bigot . He holds the record of the first Nigerian president to have polarised and divided Nigérians along ethnic and religious line , weak docile , unintelligent , gravely incompetent to the extent of repeatedly appointing dead people to position of authority . The first army general to rule Nigeria with serious security challenges , has recorded an unequalled deaths of innocent Nigerians under his regime him compared to all the regimes of former presidents combined together . Perfected new ways of nepotism and looting , introduced animals looting monies , first president to have temporarily vacated his office for rodents . First president in the world whose ailments is still a mystery but wasted billions to keep himself alive though promised not to travel abroad. This is why the majority of the citizens hate him. The first hypocrite and pretentious looter in chief sorrounded by charlatans, incompetent set of public servants randomly selected from his retenue of recycled brain drained followed financial, criminals with looted funds and properties stashed outside the country. May we never have his own specie of Goats in charge of our yams in our Nation, Communities and Kingdoms again. It is well with Nigeria because he will be forced to restructure it or be the last president to see it to her disintegration.

Please give it wide publicity till it gets to those hypnotised, gullible and blind ones directly or indirectly.

Their mumu never do?
