RockMaxi:

See how you shot yourself on the foot again @ http://leadership.ng/news/365470/jonathan-donates-n50m-nge-secretariat.

it seems you want us to go round the table;

1, How easy you forgot that Lai Muhhamed branded All Monies spent under Jonathan either for campaign, Advertisement or whatever is believed to be from ATM Dasukigate, and you believed it wholesale
2, Dasuki Also said he is under instruction to disburse money to party membres, PDP has Accepted that all their spendings are from wrong source; Dasukigate

with 1 and 2 Above
Adesina receiving money from Dasukigate is hard for you to digest, how may i help you, read his aknowledgement of the money again

''in his remarks, the NGE president, while thanking successive leaders of the Guild for setting the foundation which the current leadership is building on, informed that part of th‎e secretariat will be put into commercial use to generate revenue for the guild.
He said the building of the NGE secretariat which would be known as “the editors plaza” is a dream being realised 52 years after the Guild was formed''

RockMaxi:

Oga even in print, you still choose to go by your usual antics. Is it not wise to just allow you be, if I decide to answer you in my capacity, it will not yield any conviction that PDP is looking for all avenue to splatter this mud far and wide to escape being guilty.

There is No ignorance in law,was Adesina present at the occasion in 2014 to receive N50M alledged-arms-for-Money diverted? Did Adesina even make a remark aknowledging the wise use of Money-for-Arms received? you are tight lipped now! read Adesina 's remark aknowledging the money received;

''in his remarks, the NGE president, while thanking successive leaders of the Guild for setting the foundation which the current leadership is building on, informed that part of th‎e secretariat will be put into commercial use to generate revenue for the guild.
He said the building of the NGE secretariat which would be known as “the editors plaza” is a dream being realised 52 years after the Guild was formed'' http://leadership.ng/news/365470/jonathan-donates-n50m-nge-secretariat

Will EFCC Do the Needful to Arrest Adesina is a question of Another day because Efcc is already highly compromised but exposed!

can you just crawl back into shell and save us the the ''Holier Than Thou'' laughable Anti curruption lopsided craddle-war

Femi Adesina was not only present at the event but also make remarks aknowledging wise use of the fund[/size]

Femi Adesina was jittery about the latest expose and was reluctant to comment on the issue knowing fully well that he was not only present at the event but also make remarks aknowledging wise use of the fund

in an effort to divert the public attention, the Editors Guild are directed to ''Exonerate Femi Adesina'' which they wrongly erred in doing without telling Nigerians wheather Femi actually witnesses the receipts of the money-for-arms donation or Not! until then the current NGE president who was not even part of the occassion in april 2014 in not ina possition to issue any statement.

wirinet:
I am yet to see the connection between adesina and Dasuki in the whole story.

Here is the report of the fund raising dinner.

@wirinet PLS go back and read the NGE President Adesina's remark in the link you provided aknowledging the use of fund at the occassion.

Aqudo:
but the official release states the money was donated via office of the ministry of information and not ONSA. i don't think anything is wrong about that since is not part of the money meant for arms. my opinion. What do you think?

A desperate official release that jumps so many Exegical holes? let me connect the holes with the facts, Now put on your lenses;

Femi Adesina was the President of Nigerian Guild of Editors at the event on(april 11 2014)

....''Chairman and editor-in-chief of Thisday newspaper, Nduka Obaigbena, on Monday revealed that the Nigerian Guild of Editors collected N50 million from the Office of the National Security Adviser, in a further widening of the arms purchase scandal, according to Premium Times.

http://www.naijaonpoint.com/news/arms-deal-buharis-spokesman-femi-adesina-allegedly-collected-n50m.html

Femi Adesina was not only present at the event but also make remarks aknowledging wise use of the fund

now with the presence, aknowledgement and receipt the fund as evident above, we can conclusively call the EFCC to invite Adesina if truly the so called anti curruption is not selective.

Hezolad07:
No he claim that the money was paid thro former minister of info. Labaran Maku is the one we are to confirm from

in Nut shell they Admit receiving money from presidency without verifying the source(opening theirself to manipulations), and presidency wrongly made the donation at the presence of the president of NGE Adesina through alledged money-for-arms fund diverted

RockMaxi:

[s]It is always a good thing to choose those you associate with but it is better to define your association.
PDP don't want to go down alone and they are doing everything possibe in that aspect.
Keep it up, all I know is that PDP dug their own grave and we will help to bury them[/s].

Answer the question instead of sounding like you want to cry,maybe you are jittery and wish its not true

#was N50m arms money alledgedly diverted received by Adeshina under his leadership of Editors guild? why cant he ask of the source of the money is simple; Greediness, you dont know where this yeye will lead to, just watch because you are a young person from your response.

On Wednesday, the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) issued a statement confirming they received N50 million from the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, a revelation first revealed in a statement by the former editor of ThisDay, Nduka Obaigbena, to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in December.

dustmalik:
The OP is always lying. He doesn't deserve a reasonable response. go through his thread history, you'll thank me for it.

Its Official Now!..[size=14pt] NGE Confirms They Took N50 Million From Dasukigate, Remourseful to speak About Adesina[/size]

THE GUILD PLAYED TO SCRIPT AS EXPECTED, REFUSES TO SPEAK ABOUT ITS CHAIRMAN ADESINA WHO RECEIVES THE MONEY ON GUILD'S BEHALF

the NGE notes that the organization did indeed receive N50 million from the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. However, they claimed the funds were a donation given to the NGE at a fundraising dinner in April 2014.

The dinner was intended to raise money for the construction of a secretariat, the Editor’s Plaza. According to the NGE N50 million was presented to them by former Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mr. Labaran Maku, and deposited in their Zenith Bank Account.

The organization also attacked President Muhammadu Buhari, insinuating that the recent attempts to drag the NGE into Dasukigate are without merit and most likely motivated by President Buhari’s desire for revenge for earlier statements made by the NGE regarding the president's war on corruption.

“It is regrettable that an earlier statement by the Guild on the anti-corruption war of the government of President Muhammadu Buhari may not be unconnected with recent attempts to drag the Guild into a matter in which it has no case whatsoever,” the statement noted.

In Defence of Fearless Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose


Reply To The Goof by one Taiwo Olatunbosun APC Ekiti Publicity Secretary,on Fayose Beneffiting from an alledged Armsgate loot.


No legal Evidence or link!
I wish to make a reply to a misrepresentation of facts supplied through bad journalism now eating up Nigerian esteemed journalism since the invention of APC led federal government, APC flouted sahara reporters who operarates 'in Hidding' without a traceable adress or registration because of its illegal operations,Sahara reporters has been accused lately by some individuals of illegally Hacking into perceived enemies private transactions a crime that ranges between 14-20yrs if caught. The Nation Newspaper is a direct Mouthpiece of Sahara reporters whom the APC always relied on as their source.

Taiwo Olatunbosun APC Ekiti Publicity Secretary in a laughable manner is demanding legal justice on fayose, but childishly based all his facts on 'an illegal documents obtained 'under false pretence' of Hacking illegally even though the documents never had a link with Fayose. in Taiwo Olatunbosun's refference to the Unregistered and Hidding Sahara reporters Mouthpiece Newspaper Olatunbosun said;https://www.nairaland.com/2835374/fayose-benefited-arms-cash-apc

“It was when a newspaper reported that N1.4billion was traced to a former minister to rig Ekiti and Osun elections, it was at the same time the said ex-minister ‘sneaked’ out of the country for ‘further education.’ Governor Fayose also travelled out about the same time.
“We are demanding that the governor should tell Ekiti people how much he received from the Armsgate money and the property he acquired with the fund''

Courtesy demands that Olatunbosun should have known better to get his facts right before calling the attention of Fayose to Clarify and not merely based on UNSURE fabricatons

Sahara Reporters Was UNSURE whether Funds received was for Ekiti Election,

The Nation Newspaper report thus;

''According to reports and SaharaReporters’ investigations, the companies controlled by Mr. Obanikoro which received the deposits included: Stellavera Dev Company (N300m), First Aralac Global Limited (N300m), First Aralac Global Limited (N100m), Damaris Mode (N300m), Stellavera Dev Company (N200m), and Whese Farms Ltd (N250m) ..The funds were used either to influence the elections in Ekiti and Osun States or simply laundered, or were earmarked for the 2015 presidential elections''.

Now having exposed that there is no link between Gov fayose and the funds alledgedly deposited in those hacked accounts, the only link APC Wants us to believe is the Alledged secret Audio of Sgt Koli, which obanikoro alledgedly featured as a party member, which is a legal association under FHR and Nigerian Electoral Act.

But, It will be interesting to know that in the said 'Ekiti-gate' Audio 'there was no mention of the Word 'RIG' throughout the discussion on the alledged secret tape and any other assertion on the tape discussion is ' a secondary insinuation' and so is 'NOT AN INDICTMENT ON OBANIKORO' or should prevent obanikoro or Gov fayose from traveling abroad.

I urged Taiwo Olatunbosun APC Ekiti Publicity Secretary to Apologise to The Governor; Peter Ayodele Fayose for 'misrepresentation' and 'Distortion' of facts to mislead Nigerians

I urged Mr Ayodele Fayose to Continue his Fearless display of courage and ignore distractions from future misrepresentations and remain focus as he Fayose is been Admired by the majority of the True yorubas in both Ekiti and Ondo states and Mostly all the easterners, south south and more.. Oshokomole..irumale ton nje jollof

OgbeifunErom:
Another fake IPOB news



What sources?

The links the OP provided does not correspond with the title of the thread

Why are IPOB Youths so fraudulent?

thats the real threath going on now, you think i am ipob or whatever? i am a yoruba man, it seems you are suffering from ipob-phobia

Reports reaching us from reliable sources reports that Editors Guild under the leadership of Garbadeen Muhammad's Is currently under threat to issue a must-favourable statement to exonerate the outgoing chaiman Adesina Buhari APC spokesman who alledgedly received N50m from Dasukigate, it will be recalled that Alhaji lai Muhhamed has threathened the Media that ''they cannot afford to be be Neutral'' they must be spoon-fed, they must see what Buhari-saw and be blind to what Buhari chose not to see as currupt.

''you cannot afford to be neutral. Yes, you must remain professional at all times, ,’’ the minister said at an interactive meeting with newspaper editors in Lagos yesterday.http://sunnewsonline.com/new/you-cant-be-neutral-when-nigeria-is-at-war-minister-tells-editors/

so, Nigerians should not be surprised that editors guild under Garbadeen Muhammad's will make a statement under Duress to exonerate Adesina from Dasukigate within 48hours, we expect Nigerians to bear with Garbadeen Muhammad as he need to save his job http://dailyindependentnig.com/2016/01/n50m-editors-guild-will-respond-obaigbenas-allegations-adesina/

seems to be relatively silent of recent after his people (Ekiti APC) has indicted him in #dasukigate

Why Buhari Was Removed By IBB https://www.nairaland.com/1934988/why-buhari-removed-ibb#26902096

Text of General Ibrahim Babangida's Coup Speec[/b]h
againstbabangida.com .[b]August 27 , 1985

Fellow Nigerians,
When in December 1983, the former military leadership, headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, assumed the reins of government, its accession was heralded in the history of this country. With the nation at the mercy of political misdirection and on the brink of economic collapse, a new sense of hope was created in the minds of every Nigerian.

Since January 1984, however, we have witnessed a systematic denigration of that hope. It was stated then that mismanagement of political leadership and a general deterioration in the standard of living, which had subjected the common man to intolerable suffering, were the reasons for the intervention.

Nigerians have since then been under a regime that continued with those trends. Events today indicate that most of the reasons which justified the military takeover of government from the civilians still persist.

The initial objectives were betrayed and fundamental changes do not appear on the horizon. Because the present state of uncertainty, suppression and stagnation resulted from the perpetration of a small group, the Nigerian Armed Forces could not as a part of that government be unfairly committed to take responsibility for failure. Our dedication to the cause of ensuring that our nation remains a united entity worthy of respect and capable of functioning as a viable and credible part of the international community dictated the need to arrest the situation.

Let me at this point attempt to make you understand the premise upon which it became necessary to change the leadership. The principles of discussions, consultation and co-operation which should have guided decision-making process of the Supreme Military Council and the Federal Executive Council were disregarded soon after the government settled down in 1984. Where some of us thought it appropriate to give a little more time, anticipating a conducive atmosphere that would develop, in which affairs of state could be attended to with greater sense of responsibility, it became increasingly clear that such expectations could not be fulfilled.


Regrettably, it turned out that Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was too rigid and uncompromising in his attitudes to issues of national significance. Efforts to make him understand that a diverse polity like Nigeria required recognition and appreciation of differences in both cultural and individual perceptions, only served to aggravate these attitudes.

Major-General Tunde Idiagbon was similarly inclined in that respect. As Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, he failed to exhibit the appropriate disposition demanded by his position. He arrogated to himself absolute knowledge of problems and solutions, and acted in accordance with what was convenient to him, using the machinery of government as his tool.

A combination of these characteristics in the two most important persons holding the nation's vital offices became impossible to content with. The situation was made worse by a number of other government functionaries and organisations, chief among which is the Nigerian Security Organisation (NSO). In fact, this body will be overhauled and re-organized.

And so it came to be that the same government which received the tumultuous welcome now became alienated from the people. To prevent a complete erosion of our given mandate therefore, we had to act so that hope may be rebuilt.

Let me now address your attention to the major issues that confront us, so that we may, as one people, chart a future direction for our dear country. We do not pretend to have all the answers to the questions which our present problems have put before our nation. We have come with the strongest determination to create an atmosphere in which positive efforts shall be given the necessary support for lasting solutions.

For matters of the moment which require immediate resolutions, we intend to pursue a determined programme of action. Major issues falling into this category have been identified and decisions taken on what should be done.

Firstly, the issue of political detainees or convicts of special military tribunals. The history of our nation had never recorded the degree of indiscipline and corruption as in the period between October 1979 and December 1983.

While this government recognises the bitterness created by the irresponsible excesses of the politicians, we consider it unfortunate that methods of such nature as to cause more bitterness were applied to deal with past misdeeds. We must never allow ourselves to lose our sense of natural justice. The innocent cannot suffer the crimes of the guilty. The guilty should be punished only as a lesson for the future. In line with this government's intention to uphold fundamental human rights, the issue of detainees will be looked into with despatch.


As we do not intend to lead a country where individuals are under the fear of expressing themselves, the Public Officers Protection Against False Accusation Decree 4 of 1984 is hereby repealed. And finally, those who have been in detention under this decree are hereby unconditionally released. The responsibility of the media to disseminate information shall be exercised without undue hindrance. In that process, those responsible are expected to be forthright and to have the nation's interest as their primary consideration.

The issue of decrees has generated a lot of controversies. It is the intention of this government to review all other decrees.

The last twenty months have not witnessed any significant changes in the national economy. Contrary to expectations, we have so far been subjected to a steady deterioration in the general standard of living; and intolerable suffering by the ordinary Nigerians have risen higher, scarcity of commodities has increased, hospitals still remain mere consulting clinics, while educational institutions are on the brink of decay. Unemployment has stretched to critical dimensions.

Due to the stalemate, which arose in negotiation with the International Monetary Fund, the former government embarked on a series of counter-trade agreements. Under the counter-trade agreements, Nigerians were forced to buy goods and commodities at higher prices than obtained in the international market. The government intends to review the whole issue of counter-trade.

A lot has been said and heard about our position with the International Monetary Fund. Although we formally applied to the fund in April 1983, no progress has as yet been made in the negotiation and a stalemate has existed for the last two years.

We shall break the deadlock that frustrated the negotiations with a view to evaluating more objectively both the negative and positive implications of reaching a mutual agreement with the Fund. At all times in the course of discussions, our representatives will be guided by the feelings and aspirations of the Nigerian people.

It is the view of this government that austerity without structural adjustment is not the solution to our economic predicament. The present situation whereby 44 per cent of our revenue earning is utilised to service debts is not realistic. To protect the danger this poses to the poor and the needy in our society, steps will be taken to ensure comprehensive strategy of economic reforms.

The crux of our economic problems has been identified to centre around four fundamental issues:

1. A decrease of our domestic production, while our population continues to increase.

2. Dependence on import for both consumer goods and raw materials for our industries.

3. A grossly unequal gap between the rich and the poor.

4. The large role played by the public sector in economic activity with hardly any concrete results to justify such a role.

These are the problems we must confront.

ON FOREIGN POLICY:

Nigeria's foreign policy in the last 20 months has been characterised by inconsistency and incoherence. It has lacked the clarity to make us know where we stood on matters of international concern to enable other countries relate to us with seriousness. Our role as Africa's spokesman has diminished because we have been unable to maintain the respect of African countries.

The ousted military government conducted our external relations by a policy of retaliatory reactions. Nigeria became a country that has reacted to given situations, rather than taking the initiative as it should and always been done. More so, vengeful considerations must not be the basis of our diplomacy. African problems and their solutions should constitute the premise of our foreign policy.

The realisation of the Organisation of African Unity of the Lagos Plan of Action for self-sufficiency and constructive co-operation in Africa shall be our primary pursuit.

The Economic Community of West African States must be reborn with the view to achieving the objective of regional integration. The problems of drought-stricken areas of Africa will be given more attention and sympathy, and our best efforts will be made to assist in their rehabilitation within the limits of our resources. Our membership of the United Nations Organisation will be made more practical and meaningful. The call for a new International Economic Order which lost its momentum in the face of the debt crisis will be made once again.

Nigeria hereby makes a renewed request to the Non-Aligned Movement to regroup and reinvigorate its determination to restructure the global economic system, while we appeal to the industrialized nations to positively consider the debt plight of the developing countries and assist in dealing with the dangers that face us. We shall remain members of the various multilateral institutions and inter-governmental organisations which we belong to and do what must be done to enhance the membership and participation within them.

Fellow Nigerians, this country has had since independence a history mixed with turbulence and fortune. We have witnessed our rise to greatness, followed with a decline to the state of a bewildered nation. Our human potentials have been neglected, our natural resources put to waste. A phenomenon of constant insecurity and overbearing uncertainty has become characteristic of our national existence.

My colleagues and I are determined to change the course of history. This government is determined to unite this country. We shall not allow anything to obstruct us. We recognise that a government, be it civilian or military, needs the consent of the people to govern if it is to reach its objective. We do not intend to rule by force. At the same time, we should not be expected to submit to unreasonable demands. Fundamental rights and civil liberties will be respected, but their exercise must not degenerate into irrational expression nor border on subversion.

The War Against Indiscipline will continue, but this time, in the minds and conduct of Nigerians, and not by way of symbolism or money-spending campaigns.

This government, on its part, will ensure that the leadership exhibits proper example. Criticisms of actions and decisions taken by us will be given necessary attention and where necessary changes made in accordance with what is expected of us.

Let me reiterate what we said in 1984: This generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country but Nigeria. We must all stay and salvage it together. This time it shall be pursued with deeper commitment and genuine sincerity.
There is a lot of work to be done by every single Nigerian. Let us all dedicate ourselves to the cause of building a strong, united and viable nation for the sake of our own lives and the benefits of posterity.

Finally, I wish to commend the members of the Armed Forces and the Nigeria Police for their mature conduct during the change.


I thank you all for your co-operation and understanding.

God bless Nigeria.

I understand where you're driving at.But what could 9 million naira do to a man like Tinubu? 9million is a peanut to Tinubu mister,Even Dokpesi received whooping sum of 2billion via an intermediary

see comment? so you think Tinubu is above the law? if it is established that Tinubu stole just 1 million in a competent court of jurisdiction, he will be jailed for at least 1 year, but because he is dubiously rich, he can influence the judiciary or attack the technicality of the claim and got his sentence reduced to 3 months, but a convict is a convict, get that right!

Feigning of ignorance is not acceptable in the court of law, The Nation Newspaper should have known better to compel the 'giver of 9m to commit the intention of such to a signed document' but they never had any formal statement in a signed document and are Guilty of receiving Alledged money meant for Arms that was diverted. with such document you dont need clarification over and over without document to back your claim, The Nation Newspaper is Guilty of Accepting bribe, whether they return it or not are liable to been indicted and prosecuted

statements below are just afterthought having waited till they were mentioned;


VINTAGE press Limited has returned the N9 million it received as compensation for the seizure of copies The Nation and SportingLife in June, 2014.

In a statement yesterday, the organisation explained why it took the decision.

It said: “We are again compelled to comment on the N9 million received by Vintage Press Limited as compensation from the government of ex- President Goodluck Jonathan through the Newspapers Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN) for the seizure of our publications, The Nation and SportingLife in June, 2014

“We do this for two reasons. First, to restate the sequence of events that culminated in the payment , thereby debunking insinuations about the motive for the compensation. Second, to inform the public that the N9 million collected from NPAN on behalf of the Jonathan government has been returned to the association .

OnReflection:
Do you never grow tired of peddling your unsubstantiated yarns?
What would it cost you to engage in basic research, in order to spare us your perfidious acts of deflection?

1, The Aisha Buhari in your story(Above) was an 'arrangee' who was given money to go to a supermarket and buy expensive goods
(even though we are not told maybe she paid with a credit card that bears Aisha Buhari)but her aim was to distract and ''verbally'' assume 'the identity' of the presidents wife so as to ''confuse'' the establishment of the fraud perpetrated through the real 'Aisha Buhari' wife of Gen Buhari whose name and bank account was used for money laundering see certified true copy of the deal http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/criminal-fraud/legacy/2012/06/01/11-06-09jefferson-sent-memo.pdf

2, can you tell us Why the bank(reffered in the certified true copy above) kept quiet in revealing the true identity of Aisha buhari which they can only do when there is further probe on the case! burying the case or wishing it away is borne out of fear that the bank might reveal the true identity of the 'aisha buhari' hence, the need to huriedly concort and put together the drama of distraction in this link
Source: https://www.nairaland.com/2507937/putting-rest-aisha-buhari-fraud. and so if the bank account of aisha buhari which was used to siphone these huge monies was yet to be revealed, all those wishing the case away or tries to dismiss it are a huge joke

3, The picture posted in your link was that of an 'arrangee' that is those working for Mrs buhari presidents wife posed to frustrate the establishment of the 'identity of Mrs Aisha Buhari' knowing fully well that the Bank are under Oath not to reveal the true identity of the account owner of the money launder Mrs Aisha Buhari.

money laundering cases are perfected by engaging some other persons to claim suspects identity so as to confuse investigations,

#'One' James Onanefe Ibori was convicted of money inducement here in Nigeria, but the court held that the identity of 'james Onanefe Ibori' could not be established! another person(an arrangee) had earlier surfaced in court claiming to be James Onanefe Ibori to frustrate the case and ibori won! check Ibori vs Ogboru

''the Court of Appeal, Abuja and the Supreme Court respectively confirmed that indeed one James Onanefe Ibori was convicted and sentenced but that there was no proper identification of the said James Onanefe Ibori '' the appeal was struck out by the Court of Appeal and James Onanefe Ibori was freed by the NJC with allegations of some financial inducement worth N250million

Look around very closely, you will notice that the nation is undergoing a very rigorous repair work.

repair from obasanjo ibb and abacha, obasanjo still dines with Buhari till date, obasanjo who spent 8yrs in the 16th yr rule of PDP which APC still reffered,, who bribed all 480 national assembly members with 50million each for third 3rd term agenda in the treasury loot, obasanjo a currupt flash drive inflicted on a new system and it currupts.

ihearYou:
Much as we may never know or fully appreciate d source of funding for d APC Presidential campaign, one thing is very certain: it was not funded from d $2.1bn ARMS money. And to cast aspertions at Buhari just because he was honest enough to admit he borrowed money to buy his form (a practice many politicians do),and there is no law against such in our statutes book,shows where u are coming from. Political contests are seldom sponsored by only those who want to contest for office,people who believe in their vision invest in it,with d hope of getting rewarded if d contestant wins;d case of d old woman who gave her life saving to d Buhari campaign organisation still resonates. The case of d little girl in Lagos State cannot also be ignored. That was how many other individuals, both within and outside d party contributed their own quota to make d dream a reality. If u are really serious about this quest of urs,u can income d FOI Bill to get to d bottom of this matter,instead of coming here to play to d gallery like u hv one important fact to divulge. As d anti corruption gets messier,posts like this will become commonplace,with all manner of PDP e-rats coming to spew rubbish as their warped imagination can bring up. But it won't change anything,nor derail PMB from d course he has chosen. D anti corruption war will continue,and there is nothing all d PDP EKPAS can do about it. Long live Nigeria. Long live PMB.

sorry, buhari lied about his form money, while his wife was buying a wristwatch over N100,000,000 buhari who also declare another highbrow house in asokoro in his declaration form is guilty, and you believe the pooo in that scenario tels us your own sense of maturity

ihearYou:
All what u listed here are nothing but beer parlour and pepper soup joint gossips. If truly these things existed,While and d PDP would hv roasted Amaechi by d balls. Some Nigerians only want to bring shame to their families by posting rubbish on line. If this is d best u can come up with,then my friend, u hv missed our way. Ur story no enter class. So park well.

why are you crying now, instead of providig rebutals to each and every allegations provided

How ever, what does that have to do with the ongoing probes of how the national treasury was looted.
Anyone who have something to say about how the campaign was funded through illicit money should come out and tell the public.

since you insisted, here are the part of the illicit fund that APC used to finance its election, that is criminal;
http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/rivers-orders-prosecution-of-amaechi-others-for-misappropriating-n98bn-/222402/


1, withdrawal of N53 billion from the state reserve fund between 2014 and 2015,
2, misapplication of N3 billion Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) agriculture loan
3, concessioning of Hotel Olympia for 40 years at $1 million,
4,The Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte Hospital of which the state paid $39.2 million out of the $98 million cost without anything on ground to show for it
5, leasing of Orosi House in 2012 at the cost of N300 million per annum even when the building was already gutted by fire,
6, N35 billion spent of the monorail project, among others.the list continues

It is not a secret how Buhari campaign was funded.

kindly state how it was funded, because it remains a secret till now

Empredboy:
the money was meant to come from the federal government so Buhari didn't see it as coming from Dasuki afterall he was an elder state man so he is entitle to a replacement of car

the bolded above sum it all; Buhari ignorantly pertake from ''a forbidden fruit'' like when Eve lured Adam to eat the forbidden fruit, both were punished so buhari deserved to be arrested and punished accordingly, there is no ignorance in law, he should have ascertained that he got a 'written receipts of the actuall department who gave him Suvs and money, but he didnt

Empredboy:
yeah I forgot to tell u but dasuki didn't say it was from d $2.1B scam.

Have you contracted The-Economical-with-the-truth-virus of lai Muhhamed? Dasuki Actually indicted Buhari as A BONAFIDE BENEFACTOR of the money for arms;

''According to Dasuki’s office, alleged that General Muhammadu Buhari collected $300,000 initial payment as compensation over Boko Haram’s attack on him. His Bullet proof car that worth Millions was also replaced with new ones by Dasuki.President Buhari benefited from the alleged diversion of Arms budget by Dasuki with Newspapers owners'' http://scannewsnigeria.com/news/dasukigate-buhari-collected-300000-compensation-from-dasuki/
Buhari was so Gullible to ascertain the true source/department of the fund he received thereby guilty of embelzement by self-ignorance

Buhari supporters are hard pressed to dispute the claim
