If Amaechi actually stole from Rivers state and the current governor cannot prosecute him, he is an Ineffectual Buffoon.

Buhari is to FG what Wike is to Rivers State. EOD.

seunmsg:
This useless UK dailymail again? Instead of investigating their stories properly and getting the facts of the matter, they just copy unsubstantiated lies from PDP propaganda sites and publish to unsuspecting British public.

If any commission in Rivers state is so sure that Amaechi misappropriated £338million, the Rivers state government through the Rivers state ministry of justice should charge him to court. He has no immunity from criminal prosecution, they should charge him to court and stop making wild allegations.

Buhari is already prosecuting those who stole at the federal level, state should please join the fight against corruption by prosecuting those who stole state funds.

bigboss80s:
I think Buhari should go easy on those who stole money that was meant for bribing INEC officials for GEJ's reelection since his election was funded by dirty money as well.
The truth is that it is close to impossible to become Nigeria's president without making certain compromises but that doesn't mean that we can't change things.

Is Nigerian leader's pal 'fantastically corrupt'? Friend of African president accused of stealing £500million

* Muhammadu Buhari seen by some as leading the battle against corruption
*But worrying allegations swirl around one of Nigerian leader's close allies
*Rotimi Amaechi accused of misappropriating £338m commission probing sale of state assets
*Also accused of diverting £140m of state funds into Buhari’s presidential campaign

When David Cameron was caught on camera last week before an anti-corruption summit describing Nigeria as ‘fantastically corrupt’, the African state’s president rallied to the Prime Minister’s defence by agreeing with him.

But although Muhammadu Buhari is seen by some as leading the battle against corruption, worrying allegations swirl around one of his close allies.

Rotimi Amaechi, who travelled with the president to the summit, is Nigeria’s transport minister and is said to have bankrolled Buhari’s presidential campaign.

In the Nigerian press he has been dubbed ‘ATM’ – the American term for cash machine – because of his ability to produce vast sums of money at short notice.

He remains in his post despite being accused of misappropriating £338million by a commission investigating the sale of state assets.

Some of that money is likely to have come from UK taxpayers, who gave the country £1billion in aid over five years to 2014, including £248million in 2014 alone.

Separately, Amaechi is accused of diverting £140million of state funds into Buhari’s presidential campaign, with reports he paid for media, consultants and private jets.

The allegations come as the president stands accused of enjoying a lavish lifestyle while many millions suffer in poverty.

A leaked draft budget for 2016 showed the Nigerian government earmarked £16million for the refurbishment and maintenance of the president’s official residence, Aso Rock Guest House, in the capital Abuja.

There was also a request for £13million for building a VIP wing at a hospital used by families of the president and his ministerial team.

Mr Amaechi has denied the allegations against him.

CACAWA:
Lol
[size=18pt]so if we are only to do No 1 and 2, what about number 9 that says SUBMIT? Or would he come and collect it by himself?[/size]

shevon:
A budget that was signed when? How long did it take for NGN to slide from N218 to the present rate? 3 days?
I keep saying this and I always will, I don't belong to any party but we Nigerians are the architect of our present predicament. We always want magicians as policy makes and if Professor Pella had contested for any political office, we'd not have cast one vote for him.
This write up is premature as far as I'm concerned.

Dakad:
I'm neither for Umar nor for Saraki. I'm for justice. My point is clear, Umar might not have moral justification to preside over any case if he's been indicted by EFCC. However, Saraki doesn't have moral right to ask him to handover the case. Reason being that in a sane society Saraki should have resign long ago to clear his name. Though any accused person is innocent until proved guilty but he shouldn't have dragged that highly exalted office to such a mess. Moreover, Saraki is not being prosecuted by EFCC as you claim. Rather Saraki is being prosecuted by the Federal government over asset declaration. So I don't see how EFCC can influence Umar in any way.

Honestly, I rather prefer Saraki defend himself and clear him name since he claimed not guilty instead of using all these delay tactics.

ikwubaba:
Police can investigate and discharge you. That is a fact. The court only comes in if you are charged.

I still ask, if a police ever arrest and discharge you even the previous day, does that mean you cannot preside over a criminal case brought by police again? Assuming a judge is wrongfully accused of a crime, arrested and discharged, he should be perpetually disqualified from entertaining a criminal case? you just answer

If the chairman now disqualifies himself, who continues the case? Another chairman to be screened by the same senate?

People like you who want the perpetuation of corruption will not see the impending conflict and lacuna. Or, actually, it is what you want, so Saraki (I'm sure he is your mentor) can go Scot free.

Mba ohhh!!!

Deen77:
Umar will judge Saraki and Senate will Judge Umar. Nigeria is bigger then d two.

adanny01:
Use your God given head, think harder!

Why do you think Saraki wants Umar gone. There is only one reason.

A new CCT Chairman must be screened by the senate. In which case, Saraki and his cohorts will only approved any judge who promises to throw the case away. Imagine judges lobbying Saraki to become the CCT Judge, what do you think is at stake? JUSTICE!

It is impunity waiting to happen and every right thinking Nigerian must reject it. No one should be allowed to appoint the very judge that will dock him. That is a prerequisite for complete bias and impunity.

ikwubaba:
Nice logic. In other words, if you have ever being arrested by a police. Even if you are finally discharge and acquitted, you can never preside over a criminal case again. in short, no need to continue with you law programme. And if you have graduated, you go look for something else to do abi. Because, they can always reopen your case if you do not jail every accuse brought to your court.

Common sense no common atall.

Dakad:
What you said is absolutely correct. However it should be raise by same Saraki who is still presiding over the senate despite being alleged. Moreover, Umar had been cleared by EFCC. Saraki does not have a moral justification for what he's asking for

Firefire:
The criminal Senate President should resign immediately, what is he waiting for ? DISGRACE bah ? Bukola Saraki, you will surely be disgrace out. Ole buruku.

As many supporting looters of our common wealth in Nigeria, may your destiny be looted.

Just what I wanted to write

teechudleyy:
Lol! a new level of psychosis. this is getting interesting! I hope u get to learn something frm my diary dear. thanks. Only a backwards unintelligent person would try ti rate people by der interests. Lol! i own all this o!
Now bro own ur joblessness!

teechudleyy:
Omg! did you just call peder mork monsteads work he did before dying in 1941 cartoon? A danish artists oil on canvass work? you just betrayed yourself. I wont say much. Thank so much for letting me see im truly bigger. Jesus! Contemporary art is cartoon kwa!

teechudleyy:
One would think you were too good to reply me. But here you are with all your education and intelligence, beating the same point, even though the person u are talking to already got.the point. You now resort to the cheap and immature attitude of insulting a person. I hope that makes your sunday. As for me, i will be the bigger person and ignore you. Your intelligence is questionable and u sound too hungry to reason with.

teechudleyy:
Ur still not caring about health care, but about money.
Enjoy ur millions while i manage in my poverty trying to find good health care. Are u happy now?

frm all i see here, d way many of u are screaming about the money means u just grab n take all u can get wen d opportunity comes. How very not povertyish.

teechudleyy:
Sweetie i paid already. Im complaining now.
Yes. I kept quiet because i felt even preliminary consultation wasnt exhaustive. Im not a doc yeah.. but dont they at least check temp.

Also... defending charges with personal need is already old. Many professionals in many fields also have expenses too. And lab equipments are just as expensive as many other assets in other fields too. Its funny that when it comes to the real deal, people still have to fly to a near backward place like india.

With the way ur charges are defended, one would think u can handle it all.

teechudleyy:
I hear you. Im not against the charges. I am against the general response. If you are a doctor, in your practice, be exhaustive, dont just make conclusion. I made several instances of what makes me reluctant. Dont base your essays on just the first. Also... we all would go straight to the govt hospitals if not for the fact tht they are already packed full and you wait hours in line for treatment.

You say wordwide healthcare is expensive, that is why.dey made me pay 2000 for drugs they just went out to buy frm a chemist in my presence.

looseweight:
There are some cases that ought not to be discussed again, example is dasuki case, in most Arab countries, he would have been killed and forgotten. If this happens to about 2-5 people, I bet you, this country would be better of.
