[size=14pt]Why EFCC "Selective" witchhunt On PDP Members Best for Nigeria right now.
[/size]

I have read and heard from many people and PDP sympathizers that the current Buhari anti corruption drive is selective and Bias.

I totally agree it is selective. but I don't agree that it is bias. And there is nothing wrong in it being selective as long as the reason is the best for the country for now. Because I strongly believe it is the best thing and the best way to fight corruption in Nigeria for now. My reasons are as follows:

1. The anti corruption fight is currently concentrated on corruption at the federal level. Buhari anti corruption war is currently not active on state level and former governors. Since federal government was fully controlled by PDP in the last 16years, most corruption at federal level is PDP affair.

2. Buhari greatest interest is to recover fund. The best thing to do in this regard is to concentrate on areas where he can recover the highest amount of stolen fund. And that is federal government and are mostly PDP members.

3. It is almost impossible to prosecute all corrupt cases in Nigeria. So the need to give priority to those with the highest amount and easiest to prosecute. Thus corrupt cases with highest return are within the PDP

4. currently the NSA is the main focus of the anti corruption war at the moment. The reason being because of the amount of money involve and because Buhari govt believe they can recover some billions from the former NSA. Since the former NSA used most of the money for election affair, it is natural that majority of people involve are PDP members

5. maybe in the next two years when the anti corruption war go to state level, some APC members will be prosecuted.

6. We should also recognized that the govt has limited resources and personnel to fight the anti corruption war. so the need to select those that will give the highest impact per resources utilized.

7. It will be very naïve, unwise and stupid for Buhari to focus on corrupt practice of APC members right now. His govt is too young for that. he cannot fight everybody at once even if he wishes to . His govt will crumble if he try that right now. He need to run the govt with Nigerians not aliens. Almost every Nigerian that have held political office has skeleton in their cupboard. thus many APC members have corrupt past. But however this is not the best time for him to open APC members files. Doing that right now will be stupidity and naïve and will be bad for the country. Ability to select the best fight to fight at a time is wisdom and leadership.

8. It may appear unfair to PDP members. but to the Nigeria masses I believe it is fair. PDP were not fair to the masses when they were stealing our treasury dry. I strongly believe all the persons who stole are common wealth should be brought to book. Whether they are APC or PDP. However, since we cant do all in one day, we must start from somewhere and from those that will give the highest return and impact.

9.The fact that the anti corruption war is currently ignoring APC members does not mean the war is not sincere. It is only a pragmatic approach to a complex problem. When you have a lot of complex problem to solve, you ranked it and choose where to start from. That is currently what is going on.

10. The truth is that all the people who are shouting witch-hunting, "selective", "vendetta" want the anti corruption war to fail. If I have access to Buhari, I will tell him to completely ignore them. Those people want him to fight on all front so that he will lose and then come back to mock him.

11. I know some people will come and say it is hippocracy to currently ignore people like Tinubu etc in the anti-corruption war. But I choose to disagree with them. it is not hippocracy but pragmatism. Even if Buhari have an intention to open Tinubu files, this is not the best time to do it. That can wait for much later. A leader must focus on National interest. it will not be in the interest of Nigeria for tinubu files to be opened at this time should he have corrupt cases. Timing is a major component of decision making and leadership. if you do the right thing at wrong time, it is as good as a wrong thing. GEJ had the opportunity to jail Tinubu since PDP supporters keep making reference to him as corrupt man, yet GEJ could not. Tinubu was tried for corruption by code of conduct Bureau under GEJ govt. Tinubu won the case. Now you PDP supporters now think it is Buhari who Tinubu used his so called "corrupt money according to PDP supporters" to sponsor should now be the one to jail him!!! That is the worst form of hippocracy I have ever heard of.

12.I also know some people will argue about Atiku, Obasanjo etc and say why are they not being tried also. Just as I explain earlier, it is much easier to trace fund, files and documents of corrupt practice done in the last 4years than those done in the last 8 or 16years. So it is only practical to concentrate on the last 4 years at the moment. To me, this is wisdom.

13 We need to understand the post is not saying that APC members and older leaders (atiku, OBJ etc) corrupt practice should be ignored. The post is only talking about now. Which is at this current time (t), it is very wise to focus on immediate past PDP govt because it will benefit Nigeria as country more than doing otherwise right now. In the future, the anti corruption drive can spread to others. But now is not the time .

14. The fact that it may not be wise to look at past corrupt act of top APC members right now does not mean Buhari should tolerate massive corruption from his cabinet or ministers. Buhari must ensure any looting under his govt is not tolerated. Should any member of his cabinent be found wanting of corruption under his current govt, the person should be punished with no mercy.

15. I agree this is not the ideal case since everybody are equal before the law in ideal situation. but it is still better than GEJ mindset, who believe that since he cannot jail all corrupt people, everybody should go free. In his mind he was being fair. The truth is that, that was one of the greatest Injustice Jonathan did to Nigerian masses. That empowered every political leader to steal without any fear of consequence.
GEJ mindset was corruption did not start with me and so it is not me that will fight it.

16. As we hope for the best, we should appreciate what is better than the past. The more we the masses support Buhari anti corruption war, the bolder he will be in fighting it. The bolder he become the less selective he will become and the more APC members will be prosecuted.

coollabman:
the book was never in the bible in the first place! church fathers as at that time gathered and examined several scriptures to determine if they were genuinely inspired by the holy spirit. Christianity just became state religion in Rome and there was need to streamline activities and stamp out paganism. many christian sects and scriptures were available then. some were overtly heretical (as in their message did not align with that of the church fathers) while some (like the book of Enoch) were somehow complicated. these books certainly contained biblical truth, but there were passages/chapters/verses in these books that were suspicious. hence these books were described as non-canonical and excluded from what eventually became the bible (as we see it today).

LordAdam:
Allah forbid! What change?

Increasing electricity rate by up to 60% is your change ba?

Even after paying marketers the money owed them, there is scarcity, is that your change?

Or the meaningless killings and disregard of court orders, is that the change?

Make me no mention the exchange rate, regressive policies, and you guys eating your vomit like dogs (no subsidy, there is subsidy, remove subsidy).

Gerrarrahia Idiot!

LordAdam:
If that is all you got from the article, then you are a lost cause. In fact, educating you is a sin, because it will have no impact on you.

Zombie!

-Lord

LordAdam:
Is it not media blackmail?

Did you not notice how the electronically controlled zombies jumped on the thread to scream anti-GEJ sentiments, without reading the article, like he was the one that managed the companies or oversaw the selection process?

It was an okay writeup but the intent was wrong especially when you look at the title. Why did the writer not say "Rice Mafia orchestrate massive fraud in Nigeria N117b rice import quota scheme"? Rather than use "massive fraud" to suggest that the whole scheme was ridden with fraud whereas only the marketers and their cronies defrauded Nigerians.

GEJ did his job of formulating good policies. The Minister of Agriculture did his best to ensure the policies were enforced. And saboteurs in the ministry that are still employed in the ministry under PMB's government today sabotaged the policy. These same people will likely sabotage PMB's policies too, like is evident with the fuel subsidy scandal.

As long as people like you and those I quoted earlier on continue to reason like jelly fishes, nothing meaningful will happen in Nigeria.

-Lord

FREEDOM4BIAFRA:
This is a heartless and inhumane fine that will affect MTN. Nigerians need MTN more than it needs Nigerians as it can still make profits from 19 other countries, tho not as much.

Please how is Nnamdi Kanu a trusted leader? A man who uses insults and hate to propagate an agenda he probably doesn't understand. A man who calls a country a zoo and yet uses the zoos passport as a means of identification.

You claim there is no federal presence in the south East yet can you count the number of south easterners that have been part of successive Governments in this country?

For you to clamour for self determination you must be economically viable. Y do you think we have massive migration of youths from the east to all other parts of the WORLD? Apart from Anambra state every other eastern state applied for the bail out funds to pay salaries.i.e overhead. Doesn't that speak volumes. The states could not generate incomes to cater for their overheads and you want to secede! Please let us stop being bamboozled with ethnic sentiments and start to hold our leaders accountable. The youths of the South east should start to realise that their blind agitation will only get them killed or incarcerated. We must de-emphasize Biafra as a state or nation but emphasize it as a people of a great nation NIGERIA.

Hate or like him,it takes unusual courage and self conviction for any high profile figure in Nigeria to go against an incumbent. When dat is now added to d fact that mbaka is a MOG,a segment of d society notorious in Nigeria for always endorsing and seeing favorable visions for incumbents, one gets to admire d courage of fr.mbaka d more and assume he did indeed have an higher spiritual message too powerful to ignore and too convincing not to share with d congregation.
Knowing that a victory for gej cud effectively ruin him in every imaginable manner renders fr.mbaka's sermon and message all d more convincing.
I think dis time fr.Obama did indeed read d right signals. He may become one of d most visited and most popular priests when buhari eventually defeats gej.

Meanwhile
What is Hypocrisy? Hypocrisy is when a south-south guy criticizes Rotimi Ameachi for joining APC but praise Bafarawa & Shekarau for joining PDP! Hypocrisy is when PDP goes to court to stop PDP legislators from defecting to APC but celebrate when APC legislators decamp to PDP. Hypocrisy is when the senate president refused to read Saraki & co’s defection letter to APC but was quick to read Chukwumerije's defection letter to PDP! Hypocrisy is when PDP celebrate the defection of Gov. Theodore Orji & Ohakim to PDP and goes to court to stop kwankwaso & co from defecting to APC! Hypocrisy is when Oghiadomhe is sacked, to go & pursue his governorship ambition but Nyisom Wike is left to double as minister of education & military administrator of River state! Hypocrisy is when Bashir Argungu writes against GEJ and is called tribalistic and Edwin clerk's utterances are termed freedom of speech. Hypocrisy is when Stella Oduah is sacked for corruption charges that amount to N255million and Diezani Allison Madueke is left as minister with corruption charges amounting to $20billion! Hypocrisy is when PDP say 16 is > than19 & 5 is > than 26! For how long will this continue? Hypocrisy is when you vote Jonathan and claim that you are not voting PDP. Hypocrisy is when Doyin Okupe equates Jonathan with Jesus Christ and Christian members of PDP justify it. Hypocrisy is when you claim to hate corruption and still slam Buhari for prosecuting and Jailing corrupt Officials. Hypocrisy is when you criticize GMB for saying Abacha was not corrupt but hail Jonathan for withdrawing corruption charges against Muhammed Abacha. Hypocrisy is when you expect every Ijaw man to vote Jonathan but accuse the Hausa/Fulani man of promoting northern Agenda by campaigning for fellow Hausa-Fulani man. Hypocrisy is when you shout Hallelujah when Jonathan goes to kneel before a Pastor asking for Christian endorsement, but shout ISLAMIC Agenda when a Muslim politician asks fellow Muslims to vote him. Hypocrisy is when you accuse Buhari of being too old to be President, but hailed Jonathan for appointing 86years Old Tukur as an Ambassador-at-Large and praised him for appointing Chief Tony Aninih as NPA Chairman. Hypocrisy is When PDP celebrate the defection of Ondo State speaker for his defection from LP to PDP and ask Tambuwal to Vacate his seat because of his Defection from PDP to APC". What more can I say? Hypocrisy and PDP are like Siamese twins. Say no to hypocrisy!!Votewisely come February2015
