Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

@Anonimi, one would have thought by now, you would have been sober. Your graphics were not nicely done and appear amateurish by the way.

Putting aside politics, would you agree with me that Saraki should defend himself in court, and if found guilty, pay the price as prescribed by law? Would you also agree with me that any proven ill-gotten wealth by Saraki should be returned to people of Kwara state?

I hope you'd humour me and answer the question directly

Gbawe:
Once again, another open show of sentiment and uncouthness.

(1) My point is that treachery against Party will not be tolerated in the UK or indeed anywhere worldwide. The circumstance do not have to be exactly the same as Saraki's situation because the Uk practices the parliamentary system.

(2) More show of sentiments. I support the APC and not the PDP.

HATER!

nigerianvenom:
What about lagos state that has bin caged by tinubu and his family since'99 nko?

Gbawe:
Even in the UK and the USA, the political 'knife' always comes out for Party members who do similar to Saraki. The difference is that politicians over there resign when they know they have erred and the Party has tacitly decided that their position is no longer tenable. In Nigeria, where politician are shameless and unprincipled, you know this will not happen.

Demdem:
It's good u said u thought. It's not more than that. Just a thought. That u thought never makes it so. When will u shameless fools get this straight to ur block heads.
Tinubu repeatedly goes in and out of the US u claimed has a case against him unhindered. If trully he has a case, his case will be like that Ogun senator fighting extradition to US. Buy a US ticket for Tinubu today and he will gracefully accept it and proceed.
So u see, u Av thought foolishly.

SeverusSnape:
That's the same thing I've been saying all these while, They are a bunch of hypocritical never-do-well broom waivers. See the kleptomaniac Tinubu also talking about fighting corruption. . Very funny...

For your info, Tinubu is even more corrupt than Saraki, But nothing will happen to him, since he has not gone against the party.

Firefire:
Please check me out, I support Saraki's present predicament. https://www.nairaland.com/2619152/six-big-questions-senator-bukola

But I expect the Asiwaju of awon looters and all other past looters congregated in APC to be subject to same trial for equity and fairness.

Firefire:
I see your points.

I think we should allow Saraki to pay for his past sins against PDP and GEJ.

Like I used to say... APC are power mongers, they have no good plans but to grab power by all means.

If APC can send Dele Belgore under the truck for Bukola Saraki in Kwara and hand over the party structure to him and same antics was applied in all PDP states where rebels and rebellion occurred.

I think we should allow the party to destroy themselves without any interference.

chernest2002:
Apc is filled with recycled politicians and they are all corrupt like Buhari.

I personally heard Pastor Prof. Yemi Osinbajo addressing my people in our local Yoruba dialect on all radio stations in the SW promising heavens and earth including the FREE MEALS.

I wonder, if a highly revered RCG pastor can sell such a big lies to our people in this century.

Btw: I am a Pastor myself. And God hate lies.

Firefire:
My brother, my interest of seeing Kwarans liberation is responsible for my position.

However, I would make a surrender if Saraki return the loots and release the state from slavery.

Firefire:
So Saraki case is a political vendetta and not a real fight against corruption.

Make una continue, you shall all fail in your enterprise to turn Nigeria to your private estate like your master did in Lagos.

Unfortunately you are falling for their scam and contributing to making their quest come to reality eventually.
Always try to look at things very broadly and choose the LESSER evil sometimes.

WOCKHARDI:
Deceitful caption. I don't like deceits in any form.

Gbawe:
Firstly, Saraki's trial is political and he deserves it in my opinion. his trial is in order. for his recent act of treachery against his Party when buhari had warned, while the saga was ongoing, that no one should put their own personal interest ahead of that of the party. that is precisely what Saraki went on to do. he even helped the PDP to gain the DSP position. What then did the APC fight for power for if their own so called leaders will be helping the opposition gain positions they have no right or might to even vie for?

Firefire:
Professor Yemi Osinbajo defending Tinubu forgery and looting since 1999.

You wonder how the Asiwaju of awon looters can field him to VP's position

barcanista:
Since I was born, I have never witness the kind of hypocrisy, double standard and demonisation that is currently perpetrated by Muhammadu Buhari, the APC, Alhaji Sanusi, Osinbajo and their "good governance crusaders" against the person of President Goodluck Jonathan, Allison Madekwe, and other government officials.

Alhajis Buhari and Sanusi and APC have been going about using every platform to talk about a "missing $20b", cheered by their hypocritical followers that pride themselves as good governance crusaders. They have deliberately gone blind over the fraud of CBN under Sanusi as outlined by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria report in February 2014.

Sanusi Indicted And Removed For Fraud
According to the report (see below) Sanusi was indicted for Gross Misconduct that bothers on fraud and financial recklessness among other offence. The FRCN subsequently advised Mr President to remove Lamido Sanusi from office for further investigation and probe after the explanation of Sanusi appeared more like a tale and outrightly illogical according to FRCN. The council indicates that the explanation provided by Sanusi is “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, and abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts on the part of the leadership of the CBN.”

The council advised the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act 2007 or invoke Section 11(2)(c) of the said Act “and cause the governor and the deputy governors to cease from holding office in the CBN.”


April 2014: VP-elect Yemi Osibanjo Filed Case To Stop Sanusi Probe
Rather than Sanusi to prove his innocence in court, he filed a case in Federal High Court, Lagos to STOP FRCN and Other Security Agencies from investigating and prosecuting him through three Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, Dr. Kanyinsola Ajayi and Kola Awodien.
http://www.theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=24587

13 May 2014: Lagos Judge Tshoho Grants Sanusi Prayers
High Court Judge John Tshoho rather than uphold the constitutional powers of FRCN to investigate probe Sanusi, he granted the prayers of Lamido Sanusi and BARRED FRCN from further investigation or probing Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. In his own words...
“Prejudice is very pronounced in the language of that document. The language of the briefing note (transmitted by the FRCN to the presidency) conveys a sense of the defendant desperately goading the presidency to deal with the plaintiff,”
“The plaintiff submitting himself for investigation (by FRCN) is like the cockroach finding itself in the midst of fowls. Such a cockroach cannot be innocent,”.
http://www.tv360nigeria.com/?p=11923

Despite the fact the President Jonathan commissioned PWC to audit NNPC books to ascertain the veracity or otherwise of Sanusi's claim, Buhari, APC, Sanusi and their online agents that parade themselves as good governance and anticorruption apostles have been crying blue murder but refused to comment on the FRCN report nor the APC's VP elect role in shielding Sanusi for probe.

April 26, 2015: Buhari's Display of Hypocrisy
In his usual hypocrisy, General Buahri vowed to re-visit the $20b allegation but said NOTHING about the FRCN report. In his own word... “Imagine a situation where the former CBN governor who by God ‘s grace would later become the  Emir of Kano raised an  issue of missing billions of money, not in Naira but in Dollars, $20 billion.
“What happened, instead of investigating to know whether it was true that the money was missing or not, they simply found a reason to remove him. So these are the issues we are talking about…"
Contrary to the lies of Alhaji Buhari, Sanusi wasn't removed because he raised alarm, he was removed because he was indicted by FRCN. Jonathan also never kept mute, he commissioned PWC to audit the books. Buhari was also blind to talk about prosecuting Sanusi for the CBN fraud. Perhaps the Emir is as "incorruptible" as him(Buhari)

I Will Maintain a Modest Lifestyle as President - Buhari...Will Resuscitate Nigerian Airways...All
Presidential Aircrafts Will Be Brought Under Nigerian Airways

"One of the major killer of our economy apart from corruption is Waste. Our scarce resources are being plunder away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted. "Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet.

What do you call that? "Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses.

"You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so much aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same
public aircraft like an ordinary Briton. "Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian
President is a very expensive one inspite our high level of poverty and joblessness.

"Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10 billion to charter an aircraft for just one year."Now, for me, when we come into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy."We intend for instance, to bring back our National
carrier, the Nigerian Airways."We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airway and within a year
increase the fleet into about 20.

What is the Difference between me and those who elected us to represent them, absolutely nothing. [size=14pt]Why should Nigerian President not fly with other Nigerian public?[/size] "Why do I need to embark on a foreign trip as a president with a huge crowd with public funds? "Why do I need to go for
foreign medical trip if we cannot make our hospital functional? "Why do we need to send our children to school abroad if we cannot developed our university to compete with the foreign ones?

"Why, and why must our people be servants to the foreigners in the midst of plenty? I can go on and on."I came here in the UK and I
chose to trek just to make sure I sent a message back home to some people who wish us dead.

This is not my struggle, it is our collective efforts to save Nigeria from those who have failed us for 16 years."-


General Muhammadu Buhari speaking in London on Saturday, February 21, 2015

What is happening in Nigeria has nothing to do with body language or whatever symbolic metaphor people ascribed to it.

Buhari applied the most effective catalyst to make civil servants sit up--he fired many bosses. At a point, it was a daily/weekly occurrence. A typical black person is prone to fear and averse to pain. And like pupils bring watched by a cane-wielding menace of a teacher, the once errant senior civil servants had to behave accordingly.

That is one area Jonathan acted a fo.ol. The impunity during his 8-years usurp of the Presidency was unprecedented, and disheartening just to say the least.

Even in the offices, the greatest power the bosses have over their subordinates is the ability to fire errant employees. What else? How many folks will work diligently if loss of employment is not an option?

Naira Depreciates By N2 Against Dollar

Lagos—The Naira, yesterday, depreciated slightly against the Dollar at the parallel market, dropping by N2.The currency traded N222, N350 and N256 against the Dollar, Pounds and Euro, respectively.

On Monday and Tuesday, it traded at N220, N345 and N252 against the Dollar, Pounds and Euro respectively.Naira-Dollar

However, the official interbank rate remained at N197 to the Dollar.Mr. Harrison Owoh, a bureau de change operator, said in Lagos that the Naira’s drop in value was connected to Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN’s failure to sell enough foreign currencies.

He said that parallel market operators had expected the apex bank to sell more foreign currencies before the Eid el-Kabir break.Owoh said that the currency may depreciate further due to the long break associated with Muslims’ celebration.

One striking instance here is President Muhammadu Buhari’s recent public declaration of his assets. As we all know by now, these assets are now in the public space. And [size=14pt]if those details are true[/size], then what has been declared should sear the conscience of all past and present public officers, particularly at the highest of levels. Here is a man, who has been in control of vast resources as a military governor, minister of petroleum and a former Head of State. Yet, all that he could claim to own are houses and lands in places like Port Harcourt, Kaduna and Abuja as well as N30n in his bank account.
