I'm telling anyone who cares to listen, Dezaini still needs to be thoroughly quizzed. Theft of this magnitude cannot occur without an organized setup.

Hum... Thank God the clueless man does not win his 2nd term, if not...................we 4 dey see water call am fuel.

One can only imagine what this country would have become if gej had won the election. Ahn ahn, how can corruption of this magnitude take place and it went undetected. Some people definitely need to answer these mysteries and be punished.

I am waiting for the wailing wailers to start their baseless criticisms, as usual.

A report on Premium Times has beamed its search-light on corruption cases being pursued by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that is focused on Nigerian ex-governors and their sons.

Interestingly, three former governors alongside their sons are facing prosecution from the anti-corruption body over the alleged financial sleaze that occurred in the administration of the former state chief executives.

Read edited excerpts of the report below:

1. Murtala Nyako and son (Adamawa)
The former governor who was impeached by members of the then Adamawa state House of Assembly was declared wanted by the EFCC on February 4, 2014, alongside his son, Abdulazeez. They were accused for criminal conspiracy, stealing, abuse of office and money laundering. The EFCC also swooped on some key officials of the Nyako government and arrested and questioned them over the alleged massive looting of the state’s treasury.

As the EFCC commenced its investigation, they uncovered various questionable cash withdrawals that were made from the Joint State/Local Government account of the state. As at the time of writing this report, Abdulazeez is the senator representing Adamawa Central Senatorial District. The governor’s first son got elected to the upper chamber despite his well publicised trial with the EFCC.
According to the EFCC, Abdulazeez had immense control of the state’s finances to the extent that over N15billion were traced to accounts of five companies owned by him. The dup are on administrative bail as the case still drag on in the courts.

2. Martin Elechi and son (Ebonyi)
January 29, 2015, the EFCC arrested Nnanna, the son of the former governor on allegations of money laundry. Nnanna was said to have awarded questionable contracts to his family’s company running into billions of naira, which the EFCC says were never executed till his dad’s tenure elapsed.

Some top officials of the Elechi administration were also invited for questioning by the anti-graft body in Abuja. They were all accused of being part of the fraud that the EFCC said went on unabated under Eelchi’s watch. At the time the EFCC’s investigations were ongoing, the Ebonyi state House of Assembly had made concrete moves to impeach the governor while accusing him of aiding his son to inflate contracts and using state funds for private gains.
Elechi was arrested by the EFCC and was questioned in Abuja after leaving office. He washowever granted partial bail on June 17, 2015 and asked to report to the commission again.

3. Sule Lamido and his sons (Jigawa)
The travails of the Lamidos began after the governor’s his first son, Aminu, was arrested by the EFCC in December 2012, with cash amounting to $50, 000 at the Aminu Kano International Airport Kano. When the news wet public, the senior Lamido quickly released a statement debunking the allegations made against his son by the EFCC that he was involved in money laundering.
The former governor claimed Aminu was taking his daughter to an Egyptian hospital for treatment. But barely one year after, Aminu and his brother, Mustapha, were arrested by the EFCC in Kano and flown to Abuja for interrogation by the anti-graft body. Reports surfaced in the media then that monies belonging to the state government were being moved to companies owned by the Lamidos.

For instance, between June 2010 and August 2013, over N1.5billion was paid into an account in Skye Bank belonging to Bamaina Aluminium Limited, a company which has Mr. Lamido and his sons; Aminu and Mustapha as directors, according tot the EFCC. However, on July 14, 2015, an Abuja high Court granted the trio bail. They were admitted to a N25 million bail bond each, while the court held on to their passports.

You have no idea the magnitude of atrocities committed by Gadafi and crew. Judgment well served.

Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, the surviving son of Libya’s slain leader Muammar Gaddafi, has been sentenced to death in the country along with several other members of the former government.

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was captured in November 2011 shortly after his father’s summary execution by the rebel forces, as he was trying to leave Libya. He was kept in custody by a local militia in the city of Zintan for months, as the militants refused requests from an internationally recognized government in Tripoli to hand him over for trial.

Gbaja will be majority leader today, take it or leave it

Let's see how this plays out.

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the gladiators in the ongoing crisis in the House of Representatives to resolve all pending issues within six hours, ahead of the resumption of house plenary Tuesday.

Mr. Buhari met with the All Progressives Congress, APC, house caucus at the Presidential Villa Abuja, Monday.

One of the members who attended the meeting, which lasted about 30 minutes, told PREMIUM TIMES that the president “did not waste time, but simply reminded members on the need for party discipline”.

“He said he never wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Legislature, but he’s now forced to do so to maintain party discipline,” the source quoted the president as saying.

The source, who declined to be named because he was not permitted to speak to the media on the outcome of the meeting, said Mr. Buhari asked Speaker Yakubu Dogara and Femi Gbajabiamila to hold a meeting with the national chairman of the APC, John Odigie-Oyegun and find a solution to the problem within the next six hours.

“The president said it was unacceptable for him to be in office under the APC, and the PDP would be allowed to dictate who occupies positions in an administration he heads,” the source said.

“Buhari urged all members to look beyond themselves and consider the country and the platform under which they were elected.”

The source added that the APC leadership is expected to brief the president on the outcome of the meeting between Messrs. Dogara, Gbajabiamila and Odigie-Oyegun.

The meeting with the lawmakers had ended without a consensus on how to solve the lingering crisis.

Members emerged from the brief talks with the president, insisting on their varied terms as the solution to the crisis. Some lawmakers threatened violence.

The House is resuming Tuesday after nearly a month break.

The prolonged break followed a violent clash on the floor of the chambers after members supporting the speaker, Mr. Dogara, and those backing former minority leader, Mr. Gbajabiamila, engaged in a free-for-all.

Mr. Dogara emerged speaker in defiance of the APC leadership’s decision to anoint Mr. Gbajabiamila for the office.

Since then, the party has insisted Mr. Gbajabiamila be made the majority leader, a proposal Mr. Dogara rejects. The speaker says Mr. Gbajabiamila’s south west region has produced the deputy speaker, Yusuf Lasun.

Ahead of resumption Tuesday, the house warned against violence that may again erupt on the floor of the house.

Mr. Lasun also vowed Monday that he will not step down for Mr. Gbajabiamila as a way of resolving the crisis.

Messrs Dogara and Gbajabiamila were in attendance at the meeting with President Buhari.

Mr. Gbajabiamila, who spoke to journalists first, said the president insisted that the party was supreme and its structures must be adhered to.

“We spoke heart to heart with the president,” he said, adding that this was the first time the two groups had met peacefully.

Mr. Dogara and the party chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, who had extra discussions with the president, later emerged to speak with the press amid heckling from some members who threatened to assault the speaker if he said anything different.

The chairman of the party, Mr. Odigie-Oyegun, who spoke on behalf of the party, said the meeting was a family meeting and was a success, adding that in another three to four hours, there will be good news.

He opted to speak for Mr. Dogara, but the speaker spoke for himself saying he had always been on the side of the party as against the opinion of his other colleagues.

The members are expected to meet with the leadership of the party and come up with names to fill the slots for the principal officers and revert to the president. They are expected to meet with the president later Monday night.
