Useless looters. Buhari's 2nd term will be tough for looters and their supporters.

When tyranny and oppression comes into the land,it will be in the guise of fighting crime ."-James Madison(US President 1809-1817)

Facts on the ground don't support this nonsense.We have already dodged the bullet, first by kicking out the Ineffectual Buffoon and the second time by rejecting the Atikulooter.

Just two day ago we were announced as the largest producer of rice in Africa. A week earlier we were announced as the largest performing economy in Africa.Nigeria is on to the NEXT LEVEL of prosperity and development.

If OBJ was around, the 1966 coup wouldn't have happened, as a very close comrade and friend to chukwma kaduna, he would have made him see reason not to make such move and even if they make such move..... it would have been successful

OBJ is one leader nigeria wouldn't forget so easily.... even if his people dont know his value,,,,, after awolowo, i give it to him in the west

"It is odd, strange and bizarre that while ordinary citizens can be called up to answer questions or be interrogated, the VIP cannot be questioned without the annoying insinuations of partisanship, persecution or outright politicization.

"This country cannot achieve development in peace when important cases are viewed through a political prism and the law is considered as being applicable to some, and not applicable to others.


Yeah! "All animals are equal but some animal are more equal than others only in a Buhari government.

The constitution clearly directs law enforcement agencies to promptly report and investigate any actual or potential infringement of the law and also initiate proceedings against all those involved. This President is not the one who directs them on what to do.

"President Buhari does not stand in the way of law enforcement either. Under our constitution, he has no powers to stop the investigation of anyone or institution. When they are set to investigate anything and anyone, the best friend of the law is the one who lets them do their work.

"The President’s constant refrain is that he will not tolerate any form of illegality including corruption and the law enforcement agencies have been given complete freedom to identify and bring all culprits to justice. His instructions to them are very clear: Anyone with a case to answer or found guilty should not be spared.

"Accused persons should approach the courts to plead their innocence rather than going to the public to plead persecution. The country is better served when the law enforcement agencies are allowed to do their work and we must stop the actors of this dangerous game of politicizing law enforcement."

"This was after spirited attempts to stop the exodus, by the new
leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Buhari looked fruitless.
A plan was therefore hatched to create vacancy in the presiding post by taking out the two presiding officers from the Senate on the same day.

To achieve this, the police, which had kept mum on its investigation of the Offa incident for over a month, was mobilised to revisit the Offa robbery matter by inviting Mr Saraki and then detaining him pending execution of the take-over plan, the source disclosed.EFCC was allegedly also primed to arrest Mr Ekweremadu, effectively leaving the Senate without a presiding officer.

Spokesperson of the Police, Jimoh Moshood and EFCC’s Wilson Uwujaren were not available to clarify positions of their organisations in the imbroglio. While Mr Moshood did not respond to repeated calls placed by our reporter, Mr Uwujaren’s phone was switched off.

The planners from the Senate, reportedly led by the Senate Majority Leader, Ahmed Lawan, planned to use the vacuum expected to be created to invoke Senate Rules to appoint Senate President pro-tempo, paving way to sacking the two principal officers.

HOW IT FAILED
A principal actor in the anti-Saraki camp of the Senate told PREMIUM TIMES Tuesday morning that the plan, which he described as the second attempt at taking over the Senate, after the mace theft saga, was thwarted on the altar of “hypocrisy”.

He said a few senators led by Mr Lawan sidelined other loyalists of the president, including the Parliamentary Support Group, led by Abdullahi Adamu, in executing the latest plan.There is too much hypocrisy and selfishness. Those who planned it wanted to be the sole beneficiaries of the leadership change,” the senator said, asking not to be named.

A decision among the senators on who succeeds Mr Saraki, in the event they succeeded, reportedly punctured the plan.Two names were prominent: Mr Lawan, who was leading the putsch, and Ali Ndume.........Mr Ndume however claimed ignorance of the plan when contacted Tuesday afternoon.

The altercations over who takes the throne eventually led to the leakage of the plan by the Buhari loyalists to Mr Saraki who played a fast one.
