I hope this is not another Itse Sagay impersonation?...Will come back to comment once I confirm it is true.

GEJ's concession of defeat has been overplayed by his supporters as a heroic act - in a desperate bid to cover up his crass incompetence and improbity in managing the country's resources. Out of respect for the office of "Ex President", The man should just quietly go and see PMB and confess his sins. He should return every penny he looted from the treasury and help recover same from his fellow bandits.

Merry Christmas to all of you wonderful people...

EternalTruths:
Buhari is a coward

How many times have the people of SS and SE challenged him to prosecute Jonathan

After all what is he scared of now, that oil has lose its value and the groundnut/cocoa of the 97% are about to finance Nigeria.

Jazzlite:
go and lock him up ke....
fashola's 500 million naira borehole is still there, his 78 million naira website is also there
Amaechi's case is in the open.....
Buhari grounded the economy deliberately by refusing to appoint ministers for months.... and finally appointing same same people!

The Chairman, Presidential Advisory
Committee on Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay
(SAN), has advised former President Goodluck
Jonathan to meet with President Muhammadu
Buhari and confess all he knows about the $2bn
arms scandal.
Sagay told our correspondent during an
interview that if Jonathan could provide
adequate information, he would be accorded
the adequate respect by virtue of being a
former Head of State.
A former National Security Adviser, Sambo
Dasuki; a former Chairman of Daar
Communications, Chief Raymond Dokpesi; and
several others have been charged for their
roles in the arms scandal.
Dasuki had also claimed to be acting on
“instructions from above.”
When asked if Jonathan could be arrested
despite his soaring popularity in the
international community for conceding defeat
in the March 28 presidential election and
congratulating Buhari, Sagay said the issue was
a ‘sensitive’ one.
He, however, argued that conceding defeat to
Buhari did not make Jonathan a hero. The
senior advocate said one good action could not
correct several evil actions.
He said, “To start with, the great reputation he
(Jonathan) seems to have is the fact that he
admitted defeat. There are thousands of
actions that are negative actions so I don’t think
that we should overplay it.
“But on the issue of the former President going
to prison, I agree that it is a bit touchy
politically but the case of Jonathan is
particularly bad if you see the manner with
which the country’s resources and government
coffers have been turned into a bazaar parlour
where everyone goes to collect his own share.
Just like Warri boys would ask, ‘You don obtain
your own?’
“Everyone was going to ‘obtain’ under Jonathan.
It was just bizarre but I understand that dealing
with a former Head of State is always a
sensitive issue but I would say he should have a
private chat with President Muhammadu
Buhari and say all that he knows and if there is
anything he has to release, then he should
release it and be allowed to go quietly into
retirement.”
Also reacting to the N120m collected by some
members of the Newspapers Proprietors
Association of Nigeria from Dasuki which is
believed to be part of the diverted $2bn, Sagay
said investigations would determine if the
newspapers were culpable or not.
He said the Chairman of NPAN, Mr. Nduka
Obaigbena, who confessed to collecting over
N500m from Dasuki, might not be charged if
the process through which he collected the
money was transparent.
Sagay said, “I think the issue of knowledge and
motive are very important. In other words, if
Nduka Obaigbena was informed that the
Federal Government had decided to
compensate him for the losses suffered by his
company and this was conveyed in writing and
the cheque was given to him from the NSA, it
would not be out of place because the NSA,
after all, is a security adviser and what
happened to Obaigbena’s company was a
security adversity so I can understand that but
if it was an underground thing, without any
formality, explanation or record, that is when it
will arouse suspicion and make one to assume
that it was an underhand deal done to obtain
Federal Government money without any
entitlement.”
The senior advocate said plea bargaining which
was bastardised under the last administration
would be more stringent under the Buhari
government.
Under former President Olusegun Obasanjo,
the Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun,
was convicted of financial impropriety and
sentenced to six months in jail while the
Managing Director of the defunct Oceanic Bank,
Cecilia Ibru, who was convicted of financial
impropriety, was jailed for six months and
made to forfeit assets worth N191bn.
However, both Balogun and Ibru spent their
jail terms in hospital and never went to prison.
In his reaction, Sagay told our correspondent
that under Buhari, people would be made to
spend more time in jail rather than be given
light sentences.
The senior advocate said there was no
provision in the constitution for convicted
people to spend their entire jail term in
hospital.
He said the Administration of Criminal Justice
Act coupled with the anti-corruption stance of
the President would ensure that no one
escaped justice.
He said, “It is something that we have to look
into but I have a feeling that with the new
government and the arrival of the
Administration of Criminal Justice Act which
has plea bargaining positions that are tougher
than the normal ones, I think we are going to
see people spending longer periods in prison
even with plea bargaining and it will be longer
than six months.”

GudluckIBB:
Anyway,onething that makes me very very happy now is the fact that Raymond Dokpesi is in kuje prison as I type this post.

“Thereafter, an amicable political solution will
be reached to allow the suspects to go home
and sin no more.

likila:
i thought they had all returned the money since.
Did shugabankasa buhari not say they gave the money to him?

LoveMachine:
This is a nice story to start my day!

And by the way handie as long as you have that sig you'll get a like from me. May you live long and prosper my brother. Peace and blessings.

Only a former Minister of State for Finance, Alhaji Bashir Yuguda, has indicated his willingness to recover N600million out of the over
N1billion traced to him.

Suspects opt to refund cash for freedom
North’s leaders may intervene
President Muhammadu Buhari and his
predecessor, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, may soon
meet over the mind- boggling revelations from
the arms cash probe.
Former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo
Dasuki, who is standing trial for alleged
misapplication and fraudulent disbursement of
over N31b meant for purchase of arms, has
alleged in his statement to the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that all his
disbursements were approved by the ex-
President.
Sources said some associates of Dr. Jonathan
were arranging a private meeting between the
leaders to enable Jonathan “straighten out”
some things with the President.
The ex-President is believed to be desirous of
addressing some of the allegations in
confidence because he is not keen on speaking
publicly “so as not to heat up the polity”.
It was also gathered that the ex-President’s
camp noted that some of the N31billion cash
was sourced from “security votes and budget
for Special Services”.
“Jonathan will prefer a private audience with
the President rather than taking up issues with
the suspects in public. Some of the
expenditures have grave security implications
as they involve some neighbouring countries,”
a source said, adding:
“As a statesman, Jonathan cannot just open up
at all. For example, there is a unit where the
overhead of past Presidents and Heads of State
was taken care of. Some of the funds disbursed
by the office had to do with these funds. If
Jonathan speaks, will he not rubbish these past
leaders?
“Some Presidents from some countries sought
financial assistance from ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan. Do you expect the former leader to
issue a statement on such a sensitive request?”
The source spoke of how Nigeria bought
vehicles and some equipment for some
countries from the funds, adding that
diplomatic etiquette does not allow such a
disclosure.
“At a point, there was negotiation to end Boko
Haram insurgency. This type of deal cannot be
put in the public domain”, he said, pleading not
to be named because he is not permitted to
talk to the media.
Also yesterday, it was learnt that some of the
suspects facing trial may opt to return looted
funds and forfeit some assets in exchange for
freedom or light sentences.
It was also learnt that some leaders of the
North may prevail on President Buhari for soft-
landing for some of the suspects.
About N31billion has been traced to more than
nine suspects facing trial in Abuja courts.
Some of the suspects, according to sources
close to the investigations, are already
overwhelmed by the evidence against them
and would prefer the plea bargain option.
The suspects are said to have volunteered to
return the funds traced to them and their
cronies through phoney companies.
They are also said to be considering the plea
bargain option to save time and get lighter jail
terms where conviction becomes necessary.
The names of the suspects seeking plea bargain
were kept under wraps last night, but only a
former Minister of State for Finance, Alhaji
Bashir Yuguda, has indicated his willingness to
recover N600million out of the over N1billion
traced to him.
A source, who spoke in confidence, said:
“Despite the fact that most of the suspects
pleaded not guilty, some of them have been
considering plea bargain to get off the hook.
“Those affected have told the EFCC in
confidence that they want to return looted
funds and assets for outright state pardon or
lighter jail terms.
“These few ones seeking plea bargain said they
ought to regain freedom to retrieve funds
where they are stashed.
“In fact, one of the suspects said having
admitted that he had slush funds, there was
nothing to prove in court again.”
Last night, counsel to one of the key suspects
said: “I think there is a plea bargain offer by
some suspects. Some lawyers appearing in the
cases have been meeting to enable the nation
to get some of these funds back.
“These suspects would, however, prefer to
return funds and assets to the EFCC for outright
pardon.
“As I am talking to you, we have not reached
any conclusion on the terms of plea bargain to
be presented to the EFCC, which is prosecuting
all the suspects.”
Some elders, led by a former Secretary to the
Government of the Federation are said to be
pushing for soft landing for some of those on
trial.
The elders are said to be worried that most of
the suspects are from the North.
It was learnt that the elders had been under
pressure to save these key Northern figures on
trial.
But some of the elders, who are unsure of
President Buhari’s reaction, were said to have
met with presidential confidants.
There were plans last night for the elders to
have an audience with the President.
Another source said: “These elders want a plea
bargain alternative, which will lead to the
surrendering of all looted funds by the
suspects.
“Thereafter, an amicable political solution will
be reached to allow the suspects to go home
and sin no more. Alternatively, those with bad
cases can serve lighter jail terms.”
