if impunity must stop in nigeria it will come from the north,northern leaders should work against elightened despotism

Mr.President should not disappoint Nigerians by appointing Akala,omisore,iyabo,oyinlola and other people of questionable character to the cabinet.irrespective of what they must have done to support him they all have one vote like other ordinary Nigerians,impunity must stop,corruption and culture of profilgacy must stop.these political jobbers should know that oppinion of the people is supreme,if they reject you MR.President, masses are the majority we will embrace you with unflinching supports.perhaps,the last election despite huge amount of money they spent shows that they dont have weight.if Jonathan perform PDP will regain their lost state in SOUTH/WEST.he is capable of redeeming PDP image.best of lucy

I am from Ondo State.I met Mimiko very well while he was a commissioner under Adefarati.All these political jobbers are at there normal confussion again.the monthly subvention gotten by these local govt should be adequatly accounted for b4 creating more LGA along with more councillors and dishonurable chairmen whom there primary objective is to steal money.position of 1999 consititution should be followed.this is purely MIMIKO political strategy to starts his 2nd term campaign he will fail.

This is where integrity of Jega would be finally tested.he must do everything to bring electoral offenders into book in order to stop this obnoxious impunity as his final assignment.this case should be treated as a criminal case similar to coup plotters, we can stop this by introducing this same law we made against military non-interference in politics.we are expecting to know people behind these rigging e.g Anambra,kwara and benue etc

1. He is an oligarch who does not believe in equality before the law. The way he jailed Lateef Jakande, Jim Nwobodo, Ambrose Ali, Pa Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Ayo Ojewumi on cases that had no foundation and allowed Awwal Ibrahim, the then Niger State governor, who was arrested in Heathrow Airport in London with 14 million pounds sterling and several millions of Niara and dollars to be put under house arrest is my evidence. He also allowed Shehu Kangiwa, Sokoto State Governor who conducted and supervised the famous Bakolori Massacre of poor peasant farmers who's land were appropriated without compesation to remain under house arrest.

1(a) Ayo Ojewumi became blind as a result of his imprisonment over false charges and died shortly after.

1 (b) Prof. Ambrose Alli also became blind as a result of this false imprisonment. When he died, he had only one undeveloped plot of land to his name.

1© Pa Adekule Ajasin was never the same after his eventual release and remained sickly for the rest of his life. Whe he died, he never had any property anywhere in the world except the one he had built from his sweat as long term teacher and school principal in Owo township.

2. He put in place a retroactive law that killed three men, innocent men in my book, by public execution.

3. He jailed Ndukar Irabor and Tunde Thompson of the Guardian on stories that were factually true under Decree 4. He had told the Nigerian journalists then that it did not matter whether the story reported was true or not, if his regime did not like it, the writer would go to jail.

4. He supervised the smuggling of 53 suitcases filled with cash through the MMA against the protests of General Tunde Idiagbon and ironically, Abubakar Atiku, the then Director General of the Customs who later became the Vice President and a compromised politician himself. This smuggling of the suit cases was supervised by his ADC, Col. Mustapha Jokolo.

5. He jailed Fela Anikulapo -Kuti on trumped up charges under an emergency law which prompted the sentencing judge to confess that he was ordered to do so and apologised to the late musician. It was Buhari's administration that said it has "decided to deal with this Fela problem once and for all."

6. He convinced all the northern political leaders against allowing the National Identity Card program because according to him, this would unravel the myth of a Northern population majority

7. He is an Islamic fundamentalist, the Bin Laden of Nigeria, who told his northern followers never to vote for anyone who was not a muslim.

8. He is a coup plotter.

9. He has never been able to account to Nigerians what he did with the 20 billion Naira of the Petroleum Trust Fund of which he was the chairman under Sani Abacha.
9(a) He has not been able to point to any project that he prosecuted outside the Northern Nigeria with the so-caled trust fund.

10. He was in full support of all the atrocities of Sani Abacha against the Nigerian people. There is no single record of his criticism of Sani Abacha during those dark days when Nigeria was on precipice. It shows that he is a patriot of convenience and as such unfit to lead the country.

11. Buhari, as part of his tribalistic practices placed President Shagari under house arrest inside a palatial mansion in Ikoyi while he locked up Shagari's Vice, Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri Prison. Shagari is Hausa/Fulani like him while Alex Ekwueme is an Igboman.

12. Ikemba Emeka Ojukwu, another Igboman who returned from 13years exile just a little over a year then was as well locked up in KiriKiri Prison by mean-hearted Buhari.Up till today we are not told what was Emeka's offence.

13. Busari Adelakun died of ulcer because Buhari refused him to be taken out of prison for immediate medical attention.The then Governor of Ogun State,Bisi Onabanjo suffered similar fate which we were told led to his untimely death.

14. Buhari ransacked the house of our late sage, Obafemi Awolowo and confisticated his International passport. Which civilized democratic society would elect the likes of Buhari as President,the same individual who overthrew an elected President? Never!

15. Plus Buhari having Sam Mbakwe in jail, went for one of Mbakwe's wives. He established himself again for what he was/is letting Mbakwe receive in jailhouse news of the death of another of Mbakwe's two wives. One (I can't remember his name now; Odenigbo?) also died in jail.

16. Buhari's henchman and sponsor, CPC governorship candidate for Kano State, is Mohammed Abacha, the same person that had/ran a personal killing squad, coordinated the killing of Kudirat Abiola & attempted to kill Ibru; and also stashed money in underground tanks, all less than 13 years ago, Nigerians have very short selective memory. Shame

?17. Buhari discriminated against persons from other ethnic groups/faiths; and that as PTF Chairman, he employed an overwhelming number of Fulani/Hausa/Moslem people at the detriment of other groups and concentrated PTF projects in the Nort, h. If in doubt read El Rufai's testimony where he wrote about Katsina boys who used the money they made at PTF to bankroll Yar'Adua's election in 1999.

18. Buhari is unforgiving. When he "took over" by coup in 1983, he even remembered an article written a very very long time ago by Bisi Onabanjo ('The Mallams are coming') and a later one in which Onabanjo wrote that people should watch out for that "gangly officer from the north" after Buhari gave a no holds barred speech at some Army functions where he was reported to be very openly pro Fulani and pro Islam to the exclusive of all else and also talked about termination of democratic rule. For that, Onabanjo got one of the harshest jail terms and treatments.

19. Buhari intolerance is worse than Obasanjo's. When he was adopted as the ANPP's candidate on the night of the party's Primaries without prior warning to the other candidates (and a few of them protested), Buhari got up and made a speech that those people must be disciplined. I subsequently saw him on BBC's "hard talk" and he frightened me and the interviewer with his archaic and fundamentalist intolerant views. His understanding and articulation is very much in doubt.

20. The evil genius, IBB and his crew similarly ran rings around Buhari. On the 10th anniversary of Abacha's demise, Buhari said that Abacha stole nothing from Nigeria! Despite millions of Dollars recovered from banks around the world and the Abacha family signing a formal agreement to return over $1 billion dollars, Buhari still said that Abacha's stealing remains an unproved allegation!!!! Why? Because Abacha set Buhari up like an emperor and let him use oil money from the Niger Delta to develop the North without supervision or questions.

21. Buhari snubbed the same Nigerians he now wants their votes by refusing to appear before Justice Oputa Truth and Reconciliation Panel. Despite the fact that Buhari knew how inportant reconciliation is to the stability of democracy. Buhari has never apologised at anytime.

22. Buhari executed Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26). To put it quite plainly, one of those three – Ogedengbe - was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. and At the time Ogedengbe committed the crime it did not carry that punishment. If we must live as civilised citizens we must go by the rules. Article 11.2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reads: "No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission WHICH DID NOT CONSTITUTE A PENAL OFFENCE, under national or international law at the time when it was committed. NOR SHALL A HEAVIER PUNISHMENT BE IMPOSED THAN THE ONE THAT WAS APPLICABLE AT THE TIME THE PENAL OFFENCE WAS COMMITTED. Killing people with retroactive laws is not the civilised thing to do - and for as long as we will have people who refuse to see the truth only because their heroes are inching to rule when they have not purged themselves we will continue to wallow in misery.
23. Let’s informed Buhari that Lateef Jakande’s $60 million metro rail project for Lagos, which he cancelled immediately after he over-threw the Second Republic, has now accumulated a debt profile of over $3 billion for Lagos State, making the state the most indebted state to Paris Club in the federation.
24 let also remind Buhari that Gbolahan Mudashiru, his Military Administrator for Lagos State, alerted him on the clause in the contract agreement that would yoke the state to this debt, if the contract was cancelled unilaterally, and that he replied Mudashiru, that he didn’t care a damn.Though the fund for the execution of that project which would have given the people of Lagos an intra-city light train transport system would not have come from Buhari’s Supreme Military Council, General Buhari, as Military Head of State, cancelled this wonderful project of the state government, with ethnicity on his mind.
25. Let us again tell him that his action of jailing Dr Alex Ekwueme, then Nigeria’s vice president, from Anambra, and keeping President Shehu Shagari, from Sokoto State in a house arrest in Ikoyi was also ethnically fired.
26. So also was the shorter end of the stick he handed the South, as chair of Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), in the execution of projects.
27. Shagari’s regime (1979-1983), incurred Buhari’s wrath when it decided to investigate the US$2.8 billion that disappeared from the Midland Bank, London account of the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation, (NNPC), during General Obasanjo’s era as military head of state that preceded Shagari’s. Dr. Olusola Saraki, Turaki of Ilorin, was the majority party leader of the Senate at the time and he headed the Senate Committee set up to trace the stolen money after some three years of clamour for such an investigation by members of the civil society. The money was traced to the Midland Bank London branch fixed account of Buhari, Obasanjo’s appointee as military head of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. The Committee’s report was presented to the Senate during the tail end of Shagari’s regime in 1983, so the House decided to deal with the matter soon after the 1983 general elections.
28. He locked up without trial, politicians and critics including Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, notorious for clamouring for the exposure of the oil money rogue. Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter then, was sacked through his prodding as military ruler, for reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told her in an interview about how the missing money was traced to Buhari’s account at a Midland Bank London branch. Vera eventually won her case of wrongful dismissal in court against the NTA and was financially compensated.
29. Abacha rehabilitated Buhari with the chairmanship of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) before he (Abacha) died in 1998. When Obasanjo returned to power in May 1999 as civilian president, he found that over 2.5 billion naira had not been properly accounted for in the PTF and that there was not much on the ground to show for the colossal expenditure the agency was claiming. On the day Obasanjo announced the scrapping of the PTF, a non-staff brother-in-law of the boss, allegedly serving as his conduit on some PTF projects, died suddenly from what appeared to be heart failure.
30. Buhari’s conflicting statements on the money laundering charges involving his ADC in 1984 on the 53 suit cases saga, has indicted him.
31. He should reveal to us his health status… Buhari at 69 yr old is a clear liability on Nigeria and Nigerians is Nigeria a health insurance scheme?

THIS IS A REAP OF DEMOCRACY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER:
Akpabio is lossing more credibity than popularity infact,he has voted himself out.this can happen in Akwa Ibom had it being this happen in Ondo or Ekiti is capable to scuttle this democracy.remember that 2nd republic was scuttled as a result of crises btw Omoboriowowo/Ajasin.no body can try it in my state there is no amount of law,army and police that can stop my people.it's indeed only state where such iilegality can't stand.the state should have set on total fireeeeeeeeee which would have been the major focus of international community becos it will go beyond domestic.

There is a strong in Indication most especially in Ondo State that Dr.Agagu and Dr.Bode Olajumoke both are PDP  may win. Gbenga Ogunniya Ondo Central may loss.In the Reps The son of former Gov.Adefarati.Gboyega Adefarati of ACN will surely win akoko south/east because of the passion and contribution made by his father.

Ribadu should tell us where he got money to buy houses in Lagos,Dubai,UK,US ans Abuja especially the one very close to Aso Rock.
Why much was his salary in police?
He should tell us his deal with OBJ and Jonathan to destroy ACN.
There is no amount of propaganda that can change my mind form BB ticket as the best.i am not a politician but i think in a universalistic dimension and i wish Nigeria well.
This country is due for revolution the only team that have the zeal is BUHARI/BAKARE Nigeria can not continues like.
The only thing permanent is change

1) Can Mr President explain what happened to the case of N104m seized from Nancy Ebere Nwosu who allegedy swore to an affidat to the EFCC that she was laundering money for Dame Patience Jonathan?

2) What about the announcement by the then EFCC spokesman,Mr Osita Nwajah on September 11, 2006 that the sum of 13.5m USD was seized from another associate of Mrs Jonathan which the anti-graft body said belonged to the now first lady?

3) Any explanation on the several billions of Naira which DSP Alamiesegha left in Bayelsa coffers as at the time of his impeachment which was allegedy squandered in months by Jonathan without anything to show for it?

4) Who presided over the FEC meeting in October 2009 where a 4 km runnway at Abuja Airport was awarded for N64b?Late Predident Yaradua was already in Saudi Hospital as at the time!

5 What happened to the 30b USD Yaradua left in the excess crude account that is virtually empty now?

6 How come it is only Nigeria under Jonathan whose foreign reserve is depleting among oil producing nations at a time of all time high increase in prices of oil products?

We understand Jonathan is scared of General Buhari promise to check out what happened to the billions of dollars the ruling PDP has sunk to the power sector to give Nigeria further darkness instead of light because he has supervised that sector in the last four years.

No amount of cheap shots will stop the change Nigeria awaits from ensuring that Nigerians enjoy regular power supply starting from finding out what the PDP did to put the light out so that money never pour into procuring darkness in our country again."

Those who have that insinuation and believe that, you need to collect money from politician b4 u supports them are the enemy to our democracy leave them alone,they are selling their future and conscience .what i am after is free and fair and emergence of the people choice at all levels.but i found Gen.Buhari as the BEST MAN among all.infact,Ribadu is the worst who promised to jail Tinubu and he is now his best friend SHAMELESS man.infact,Tinubu should be careful

Buhari is the solution to immediate problem Nigeria is facing now!!!!! to stop organised crime supervised by the state to the detriment of the perplexity approved fraud at all levels must stop.A man with independent minded that is capable of introducing strong institution against corruption not carry ca cope FCC and ICC that take permission from politicians.a lot of thing is going rough why this govt promote poverty and corruption.
there is need for stiffer punishment against electoral offender as its against military intervention in politics.they dont want to do it because,they all have organised thugs and criminals working for them.

This is the end of PDP oligarchy ogun state. Amosun is the next Governor.infact,PDP is no more in south west they have finished if care is not taken.at the National level they will loss gallantly. I believe so much in the integrity of Buhari/Jonathan they are not desperate and i must confess that if Buhari win the election president Goodluck will handover honourably and he will be conferred Noble peace prize also his name will enter Guinness book of record this is enough for a selfless as the best black man this honour is enough for for him.perhap is a good man with impeccable integrity but people around him are his problem. i known they will advise him to rig but he will not and this will make them halt for life wait for PDP SHOW OF SHAME.

Infact,i am 100% in support of Bakare.this is another chance to form a formidable voices against PDP but Tinubu selfish interest will not allow this to workout,because he knew that it would be difficult for him to manipulate Buhari.in the best interest of entire Nigerians he should declare ACN SUPPORT FOR BUHARI INFACT,THIS WILL GIVE HIM BETTER RECOGNITION.
I AM SEEING RIBADU AS OBASANJO AND JONATHAN STOOGE WHO WAS SENT TO DESTROY ACN AS UME UZEOKE DISTROY ANPP TINUBU A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR A WISE

impunity must stop in Nigeria.i am very confident that okah try is going to be fair,this is a serious issue in international arena,'war against terrorism'the best thing he should do is to prove himself guilty and beg for pardon.he ordered to current instabilty in Niger Delta,he supponsored coup in equitorial Guinea and illegal proliferation of arms he has made so much money, it time for him to repent and reject war against GEJ a man ordained by God.

June 12 was not the only mistake he made.UNDP,world Bank and IMF traced the problem of Nigeria to IBB 8yrs in power, he is now claiming he would spend 4yrs to revamp what he spoiled for 8yrs.All that Babangida has to show for his over eight years in power in Nigeria, is private colossal wealth, and the edification of corruption in our body politics. The book, The Sink, by Jeffrey Robinson, an American writer, says it all about Babangida. “Of the $120 billion siphoned out of the Nigerian treasury into offshore accounts by dishonest politicians, $20 billion is allegedly traceable to IBB directly as president from 1985 to 1993.” The Wolfsberg Principles, an initiative of 11 banks and institutions across the world to fight serious international financial crimes, traced another $3 billion of our stolen money to Babangida’s accounts abroad, and $4.3 billion to Abacha’s.  The World Bank and other international sources of information allege that his total loot from the Nigerian treasury is over $35 billion.  Now he is threatening to use a fraction of that money to return to power and a figure of N400 billion has been mentioned by his cronies as his campaign chest.
The Gulf war oil windfall is Babangida’s often-referenced loot.  Abacha set up a panel headed by the highly respected economist, Pius Okigbo, in October, 1994, to reorganize the CBN.  Okigbo’s panel discovered that $12.2 billion of the $12.4 billion accruable from the Gulf War excess crude oil sales was frittered away or unaccounted for, through nebulous or phantom projects that could not be traced. Only $206 million was left in the account.   According to Okigbo, “disbursements were clandestinely undertaken while the country was openly reeling with crushing external debt overhead. These represent, no matter the initial justification for creating the account, a gross abuse of public trust.my best advise for IBB is to return all the money  he has stoled before getting people's support this will go a long way to revamp our economy he dose'nt need to be president before doing this.As we all know he cannot reproduce MKO,Gen.Yar'dua and Dele Giwa etc.Nigerian cannot forgive him for bringing our economy to this shamble situation and suffering in the midst of plenty, where average Nigerians are living below poverty level,90% of graduate have no job to do, as a student of international jusriprudence any Nigerian who campaign for his coming back as committed sin against humanity and God because he is speaking for his own selfish interest  to the detriment of the people

This country call nigeria needs urgent attention as everything BAD,illegal,forgery and corruption etc frourishes why?? in order to savage this society from eminent collapse,government approved illegality and organised crime something urgently needs to be done against corruption and everyone involved in government should be held responsible.infact this is federal republic of negligence.where 40%of National budget spent on National Assembly with failure to enact any law for the betterment of the people.they should be shamed of themselves

corruption in politics

Nigeria house of reps is shameless house.Bankole's apology is unacceptable,he should explain to all Nigerian how budget was inflated under him Or accept himself fully involved in this alleged fraudulent act because his decision by suspending Dino’s 11 members  would cause more arm than good to him which is undemocratic
