JUSTICETHEO:
They knew Buhari to be a fanatical Fulani Muslim extremist and supremacist.

They knew power going to Buhari will be more dangerous.

Obasanjo appointed Buhari as Minister of Petroleum in order to placate him and also build an alliance with Buhari in the event that Yradua may plan to overthrow him. Obasanjo knew that since Yaradua's ascension in both rank and position above Buhari, Buhari had a seething hatred and dislike for Yaradua and so no alliance would have been fruitful between the duo to remove Obasanjo.

Obasanjo also decided to appoint Buhari as the inaugural Minister of Petroleum because he wanted to remove Buhari from any command post from where he (Buhari) would have been able to stage a coup. The desk job at the Ministry of Petroleum would pacify Buhari by giving him access to loot in order to forgoe any ambitious plan of seizing power for himself. but they never knew that he still had his eyes on power. he started by massive looting of the ministry under his charge, obasnjo's government was thrown into confusion because nobody has ever looted such humongous amount. investigation started and buhari​ was queried, but he denied. the issue was later transferred to the succeding government of Shagari. investigation was carried out by the senate commitee on petroleum, headed by olusola saraki, the father of the present senate president. their search led them to a bank in london, where they found the money lodged in an account owned by Buhari. they reported their findings back to nigeria. prior to this, information has reached Buhari on what has happened, he quickly executed a coup sitting corruption as his excuse, sounds familiar. integrity my foot. the man he removed his government is the true man of integrity​.

The new market in owerri which was sponsored by Igbos in Lagos is a good sign that we've started thinking home.

That market is seriously booming now.

jellington:
Atiku Abubakar a symbol of the past failures and the politically corrupt in Nigeria. With all due respect, therefore, I, on behalf of millions of Nigerians want to remind you that you should shut up when we are discussing anti-corruption challenges and the way forward.
I laughed cynically when I heard you brag that you would “shock everyone because you will fight corruption …if given the opportunity to preside over the affairs of the country.” You challenged Nigerians to either “come forward with a single shred of evidence of [your] misconduct while in office or keep quiet.” Crude arrogance! You subsequently bragged that your stupendous wealth was a result of your “resourcefulness and successful investments".
What a lie! To use your own words, that display of arrogance was “morally offensive” to millions of Nigerians. Please, sir, accept my apologies, but the issue is not about your “entrepreneurial spirit” *but whether you can corroborate the SOURCE of your investments and wealth.* Sir, you are not more resourceful than millions of Nigerians, and thousands of investors with hard-earned and traceable sources of wealth. So, sir, take your sermon of rooting out corruption in Nigeria to the sedimentary rocks in the valley of Adamawa Highlands. Tell us what happened to the N7.5 B failed Chochi Dam project which you brought the contractor and supervised the project. What happened to the Jada Federal Government communication project awarded by Obasanjo under your supervision which N4.5 Billion went into a failed project. Tell Nigerians how u took a loan from Bank PHB in 1998 of N300M to run for Governorship of Adamawa, when you were controversially declared the winner and after becoming the VP the bank cancelled the loan. We have documented evidence of this loan, when you took this loan Bamanga Tukur was one of the richest people in the North East with two shipping vessels on the high seas, but just after 8 years as VP you not only became the richest in Adamawa and one of the richest in Nigeria but you built 158 mansions in the country and 42 mosques in Christian dominated areas of Adamawa State the citing and construction of some of these mosques created several crisis killing thousands of people and dethroning a First Class king.
As a show of good faith, sir, can you please explain to Nigerians how you, a retired Customs officer and VP, got the millions of Dollars, without a bank loan, you paid to the American University in Washington DC for a direct license to use the franchise of the university? We know that your estimated $25 million worth of University (ABTI American University) in Yola was not just because you were resourceful. Siemens of Germany wired $1.7 million of bribe money of Nigerian Govt officials to the account of one of your wives in the US, Jennifer. The same Jennifer and University of America told US investigators that all wire transfers of over $40 million that both of them received from offshore companies that they did not know came from Atiku Abubakar at a time you were Nigeria's Vice President.
What is the source of the inexplicable reason for your increased wealth after 8 years as VP? Accept my apologies sir, but can you explain to Nigerians the source of hundreds of multi-million Naira mansions, mostly built on what Nigerians believe to be proceeds of corruption? What of the $125m you diverted from the Petroleum Trust Development Fund (PTDF)? Can you please, sir; explain to Nigerians how you managed to command controlling shares in Bank PHB, controlling shares in Intel, and oil services companies operating in many African countries?
If you are as smart and intelligent as you want Nigerians to believe, then it will not be difficult to break down the source of your wealth. Believe me, there are millions of Nigerians out there that are more resourceful than you that will be turned into billionaires overnight if only you can show us your magic wand. So, without explaining the source of your wealth, it is an insult to ask us to provide evidence that you are chronically corrupt. The burden of proof is on you, sir.
How can Nigeria move forward, when we are hamstrung by symbols of past failures, like you Atiku? Let me remind those still living in the graveyards of yesteryears of what you represent, sir. Your mere presence in Nigerian politics reminds us of the era of fire-breathing monsters that plundered the national wealth. Sir, your administration with Obasanjo represents a government of the ugly looters and predators. Under you, and Obasanjo, corruption was so sweet and so exquisite that the political class fell over themselves to worship the mini gods in Aso Rock.
Accept my apologies, sir, but Nigerians have not forgotten that under you and Obasanjo, our yesteryears were locust-infested. When you and Obasanjo pretended to be fighting corruption while in office from 1999 to 2007, we had wretched criminals that grew the size of their stomachs and pockets from “Turn around Maintenance” of our refineries and under-selling of government entities to cronies. Under you and Obasanjo, we had ministers and thieves that were busy acquiring properties worth billions while our infrastructures decayed.
Sir, you are a woodpecker that feeds on the pantry of the poor, but found a way to avoid having boils in your mouth. The same mouth you are now using to insult us and bragging about how clean you are in amassing wealth in the midst of poverty in your backyard.
Atiku, sir, your ambition, therefore, deserves to be killed now. It is time for you to retire from public life, disappear from Twitter, political screens, and sight somewhere far away. Sir, when you drive around the hills and valleys of Adamawa Highland, are you not worried and ashamed about the difference between your fortunes and that of the poor masses you claim to represent?
Nigerians believe that corruption is a bigger threat than insecurity in your backyard in North eastern

menthane:
Did u proof-read what you wrote? U said Atiku can't get less. This APC supporters are clueless and dumb. If he can't get less that means he will get more. The other day one said Atiku will 'conceive' defeat. I asked what happened to concede. Dullards like Buhari.
Vote Atiku/Obi...

bishopkay:
Thanks for confirming to us that Atiku would not get LESS than 45% in the elections thus meaning there is every possibility of him getting over 60% of the polls

Dull like your master

Buhari's Achievements Atikulates Always Avoid


1. Spending over $5bn- 1.8Trillion naira on oil search in the north: $5b is about 22% of Nigeria's budget. Buhari said he would spend $20b on this same oil search in northern Nigeria. I wonder why Buharit's are not campaigning with this, showing us this achievement, the oil rigs. This is a monumental corruption avenue for APC as the expenditure is shrouded in secrecy, covered by uncle Baru, the NNPC GMD.


2. The absolute victory over corruption in the police, army, custom, civil service, education and the private sector: Buhari has only fought corruption of the previous PDP regime, and those who do not belong to his ethno-religious clan. He made the legislative and judicial arm look evil, while he pampers his corrupt allies.

3. Absolute nepotism of Buhari: when it is time to solicit for votes, he needs it from all regions of Nigeria, but it comes to appointments, the northerners are the best.

4. 20 trillion naira stamp duty deduction: A report form Vanguard newspapers says the 50 naira stamp duty charge deducted since 2016 from deposits made in banks have accumulated to 20 trillion naira and have not been accounted for.

5. Subsidy payment on petrol: no budget is made on fuel subsidy, yet payment is made for it. Under-recovery is the term used to veil the whole scrap.

Did you just return from a 4 year trip to mars?

Every government has a kitchen cabinet, same thing you call a cabal.

Take your campaign to the streets not Nairaland, how many Nigerians visit Nairaland sef?

Ebimor96:
Same thing was done to Chief Olu Falae when he pitched his tent with the opposition. His farm was consequently terrorized and razed by the same Herdsmen terrorists.


Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State was also visited with the same fate recently simply because he dumped the ruling APC and romanced the PDP.


Now the same foot soldiers are on Onnoghen's trails. Are we missing something here?


Same modus operandi.

WHOSE INTEREST ARE THESE HERDSMEN TERRORISTS SERVING?
