A United State (U.S) citizen and constitutional/international lawyer, Bruce Fein has written an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari regarding what he considers as the President’s selective prosecution of corruption charges against former officials in the Goodluck Jonathan administration. Fein who pointed out that the current administration’s anti-corruption move was not even-handed in the pursuit of justice, advised Buhari to make justice the hallmark of his administration and not retribution. Fein, who served as a senior official in Ronald Reagan’s Justice Department, is a principal in a government affairs and public relations firm, The Lichfield Group, based in Washington, D.C. See the full text of Fein’s letter below: Aso Rock, Abuja Nigeria Dear President Buhari: When you visited the United States Institute of Peace last July, you pledged that you would be “fair, just and scrupulously follow due process and the rule of law, as enshrined in [the Nigerian]constitution” in prosecuting corruption. Such loftiness is laudable. As the Bible instructs in Amos 5:24: “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” But to be just, the law must be evenhanded. It cannot, in the manner of Russian President Vladimir Putin, be something that is given to punish your enemies and withheld to favor your friends. If so, the law becomes an instrument of injustice bearing earmarks of the wicked rather than the good. In the United States, you declared a policy of “zero tolerance” against corruption. You solicited weapons and other assistance from the United States government based on that avowal. But were you sincere? During your election campaign, you promised widespread amnesty, not zero tolerance. You elaborated: “Whoever that is indicted of corruption between 1999 to the time of swearing-in would be pardoned. I am going to draw a line, anybody who involved himself in corruption after I assume office, will face the music.” After you were inaugurated, however, you disowned your statement and declared you would prosecute past ministers or other officials for corruption or fraud. And then again you immediately hedged. You were reminded of your dubious past by former Major General and President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, who succeeded your military dictatorship. He released this statement: “On General Buhari, it is not in IBB’s tradition to take up issues with his colleague former President. But for the purpose of record, we are conversant with General Buhari’s so-called holier-than-thou attitude. He is a one-time Minister of Petroleum and we have good records of his tenure as minister. Secondly, he presided over the Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF, which records we also have. We challenge him to come out with clean hands in those two portfolios he headed. Or we will help him to expose his records of performance during those periods. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. General Buhari should be properly guided.” You then swiftly backed off your zero tolerance policy because you would have been its first casualty. You opportunistically announced that zero tolerance would be narrowed to the predecessor administration of Goodluck Jonathan because to probe further would be “a waste of time.” That conclusion seems preposterous. In 2012, the World Bank’s ex-vice president for Africa, Oby Ezekwesili, estimated that a stupendous $400 billion in Nigerian oil revenues had been stolen or misspent since independence in 1960. The lion’s share of that corruption spans far beyond the Jonathan administration. Your zero tolerance policy seems to come with a squint to avoid seeing culpability in your political friends. A few examples are but the tip of the iceberg. A Rivers State judicial commission of inquiry found that N53 billion disappeared from the Rivers State Reserve Fund under former governor Rotimi Amaechi. Former Lagos governor and head of your campaign finance team Babatunde Fashola was accused of squandering N78 million of government money to upgrade his personal website. The EFCC has ignored these corruption allegations, and you have given both promotions: the Ministry of Transport to Mr. Amaechi, and the Ministry of Power, Works, and Housing to Mr. Fashola. In contrast, you have played judge, jury, and prosecutor in the newspapers to convict former PDP Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke of corruption. Is this evenhanded justice? United States Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson taught: “There is no more effective practical guaranty against arbitrary and unreasonable government than to require that the principles of law which officials would impose upon a minority must be imposed generally. Conversely, nothing opens the door to arbitrary action so effectively as to allow those officials to pick and choose only a few to whom they will apply legislation and thus to escape the political retribution that might be visited upon them if larger numbers were affected.” To investigate or prosecute based on political affiliation or opinion also violates Articles 2 and 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is unworthy of a great nation like Nigeria. Make the hallmark of your administration justice, not retribution, and you may live for the ages. I am a United States citizen and lawyer. I have no political standing in Nigeria. Some might argue that my speaking about the administration of justice in Nigeria bespeaks impertinence But you chose to visit the United States to solicit weapons and other assistance from my government–a government of the people, by the people, for the people. The United States government represents me. What the United States government does reflects on me. I thus have an interest in addressing the actions of foreign governments that receive United States government aid. Sunshine is said to be the best of disinfectants.

BodyKiss:Definitely No rape isn't justified...no one can truthfully say the whole thing involved... am not for her or him, so my opinion isn't standing for him or her...hope this is sorted.. and who is to blame is punished within the ambient of the law |

he overall policy thrust of this administration is built on a Tripod; that is to say – Security, Job Opportunities and Improved Infrastructure. With a safer Lagos, we would continue to attract bigger commerce and more local and foreign investment. This would create more job opportunities for our people and generate more taxes for the government to improve on the infrastructure in various sectors. With our commitment to light-up Lagos; we are sure we are on our way to creating a 24-7 economy. It is in our best interest. We are all aware of the recent trend in terror attacks all over the world. As one of the emerging global City-States, it has become compelling to reenergize the security infrastructure in meeting with present day realities. In a bid to reinvigorate the State Police Command, the Rapid Response Squad was established in1999 under the visionary leadership of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The Command was further strengthened during the administration of Babatunde Raji Fashola who set up the Security Trust Fund in 2007 to create a Public-Private Partnership to fund the huge investment required to support security operations in the State. The State Police Command has been a major beneficiary of donations of security equipment by the Lagos State Security Trust Fund and government. Today, we are raising the bar and repositioning the Lagos State Police Command to a standard comparable to similar outfits in other modern City States. Our Police Command will have its operations significantly driven by the right technology and equipment that will match the emerging sophistication of crime in our contemporary time. Subsequently, we are fortifying the State Command with the following items: 1. 100 4-Door Salon Cars 2. 55 Ford Ranger Pick-Ups 3. 10 Toyota Land Cruiser Pick-Ups 4. 15 BMW Power Bikes/Cycles 5. 100 Power Bikes 6. Isuzu Trucks 7. 3 Helicopters 8. 2 Gun Boats 9. 15 Armoured Personnel Carriers 10. Revolving Lights, Siren and Public Address System 11. Vehicular Radio Communicators 12. Security Gadgets including Bullet Proof Vests, Helmets, Handcuffs, etc 13. Uniforms, Kits, etc; and 14. Improved Insurance and Death Benefit Schemes 15. All these have been acquired at a total cost of Four Billion, Seven Hundred and Sixty-Five Million Naira It is significant to state here that over 50% of this amount came from the Lottery Revenues of the State assigned for good causes and Public good. These vehicles and equipment will enable the Command to effectively cover every part of the State and respond to distress calls faster. Members of the Police Command have been undergoing training to better equip them for the job. We have also rebranded the Rapid Response Squad of the State police Command to give them a new identity. Given the encouraging partnership and support of well-meaning citizens and corporate organisations, we are on course to making our State a safe haven only for law abiding citizens. To the Officers of the State Police Command; we say to whom much is given, much is expected. Law enforcement officers are never ‘off duty.’ They are dedicated public servants who are sworn to protect the public at any time and place. Lagosians will not accept excuses. I thank His Excellency, our dear President Muhammadu Buhari, for his support to Lagos State. He has always answered whenever we call. Sir, Lagos State needs your constant attention as the security of Lagos reflects directly on the economic fortunes of Nigeria. We need you to further strengthen the Federal support to Lagos. I thank the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, the State Commissioner of Police, the State Police Command and members of the State Security Trust Fund especially the outgoing Board of Trustees. You have done a wonderful job and the new Board has a challenge to do better. I thank Corporate Lagos and Individuals who have supported our Security Trust Fund initiative. I make a renewed call to our Corporate Citizens to donate to the Fund generously. A better, secure Lagos means an open market for all goods and services produced in Lagos. This partnership is a Win-Win and I am committed to it. Let me use this opportunity to reiterate that security is everybody’s business. Effective security thrives on collaboration between the public and the security agencies. Let us play our part by acting responsibly and giving useful information on suspected criminals and activities that might lead to the breach of security in our communities to the Police through the emergency hotline 112. As we approach the Christmas season, let us be vigilant and security conscious in our homes, offices and other places that we may be. I pray that we experience a peaceful, happy and memorable festive season and years ahead. Thank you. Itesiwaju Eko, lo je wa logun!

All the best |
Hmm...true sha...too much of everything not good...to both guys and gals |
With my experience of a sibling that lives and works @ib, your 130k in lagos is not up to your 80k plus in ib, the cost of living in ib is far less, talk of house rent, cost of transportation, feeding, coupled with the stress, also staying close to u family, it's my opinion I might b wrong...but if I was in you shoes will stick to ib, could still get a better offer in ib than lag |
Congrats to them... |
lolz ....carry over things...4 and 5 point things ...school days |
