Should be? If you are talking about people who should be in jail, of course there are many of them. The President himself should be in jail.
I am curious to know, Tinubu should be in jail for what crime ?

Re: "Akpabio Should Be In Jail, Not Leading Senate." - Tola Adeniyi by anonimi:
tinsel:
I really don't understand how some people think. You want to put Akpabio in jail because of a mere mouth allegation.
You have to read first before you can think properly and not embarrass yourself with your ignorance.

The OP is about Akpabio’s EFCC case for stealing, which he has been redeemed for, since he fell for the harassment to join Oshiomhole’s Association of Past Crooks, APC where sins are forgiven as long as one is loyal to the Baba sọpe Ogas at the top.


OEPHIUS:
It is no longer news that Nigeria’s Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio is set to decamp to the APC; what started has a rumour after his notable absence from the PDP NEC meeting has gathered so much momentum as the former Governor yesterday paid a visit to President Buhari in London.

The defection which seems very likely as Senator Akpabio has failed to release a statement against the rumors, comes as a shock to even the most assuming political analysts and journalists especially at a time when the main opposition party, the PDP has put its house in order and is set to welcome even more decampees from the disintegrating APC.

THE FACTS.

A closer look at the Akwa Ibom politician reveals a weak grasp in his home state of Akwa Ibom where he has been continuously hounded and blackmailed by President Buhari led APC administration over several allegations of corruption.

In 2015, The EFCC ran investigations on Akpabio which led to his subsequent arrest over a misappropriation of N101.8 billion state funds which plunged Akwa Ibom state into debt. The former Governor was not charged to court and resumed his duties in the floor of the senate.

In another report, the former Governor was probed again for gifting an unnamed commercial bank the sum of N1.4billion. Another case that was recorded but not taken to court.

The APC led Federal Government hounding of Senator Akpabio was so severe that the Akwa Ibom Government House was invaded by DSS agents in a plot to steal state secrets in an attempt to acquire more evidence against former Governor Akpabio.

In 2016, Senator Akpabio was arrested for a 3rd time by the EFCC when the Anti-graft commission alleged the illegal withdrawal of N18bn to the acquisition of a multi billion naira mansion at Plot 5, Okogosi Spring Close, off Katsina-Ala Crescent, Maitama-Abuja, a multi-billion naira mansionette at Plot 28 Colorado Close, Maitama, Abuja and another multi-billion naira mansion at 22 Probyn Road, Ikoyi, Lagos. For the 3rd time Senator Akpabio was released and no legal charges were filed.

JOINING THE APC

Since 2015, the once vibrant politician lost his voice and failed woefully to provide proper leadership as minority leader in the senate due to the subsequent media backlash against his person and the corruption allegations being thrown around his name.

While other Senators like Bukola Saraki faced all allegations and politically motivated persecution head on, Akpabio may have opted to quietly plead and “settle” with his blackmailers at the expense of the senate, his party, his political career and now ultimately, the people of Akwa Ibom State.

The Anti Corruption War

A move largely perceived as desperate, Akpabio’s defection to APC puts the final coffin to President Buhari’s anti corruption war. It further confirms the long assumed ideology that the APC is a party of protected corruption, where the members and high rollers of corruption in Nigeria are immune from persecution. Senator Akpabio’s rich history of corruption and corrupt allegations is set to be magically swept under the rug.

The same Government that hounded Akpabio, arrested him several times and invaded his former office with DSS agents to get evidence against him have thrown their arms wide open to receive him in their fold. Whether Akpabio was threatened to join the APC or not, it will go down in history that he was a subdued man.

Buhari’s infamous integrity has failed the litmus test with Akpabio. The Nigerian President who prides himself as incorruptible has thrown caution to the wind and made Senator Akpabio, one of the most corrupt persons in Nigeria according to President Buhari’s EFCC to be the Apple of the APC’s eye.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Senator Godswill Akpabio’s corruption allegations have long been in the wind perhaps as hard evidence which has been used recently to blackmail the former Governor. Perhaps enough evidence to get a conviction at the court which would see Akpabio off to prison. However; with the new turn of events, Akpabio who has been alleged to have his eyes on the prized seat of Senate President, may begin to enjoy the peace of mind that comes as he is no longer a perceived threat to the President Buhari administration, perhaps at the expense of his own political goodwill.

What of the man from the north who stole N80 billion+?
Akpabio must have stolen money realised from crude oil in his backyard.
Such monies have been stolen by outsiders in the last 50 years without trace.

Below is a comment from another user.

I dont understand what they mean by this. Akpabio is a man of integrity.
They call failures Men of integrity in Nigeria, it means the opposite of integrity.
1. Buhari
2. Tinubu
3. Akpabio

If a lady falsely accused this s.imp tomorrow and they send the cl.own to prison of even kill him, his family will say they want justice. Like, it took a change of sit scenario for Natasha to remember sexual harassment of 2023? And we must hang Akpabio for that? Seriously?? 😆

For those people that still think a major punishment should be meted out based on a woman's vocal accusations of sexual harassment, I sincerely pray that they or their close family member experience it very soon.
I doubt if you read the post. He only commented on verifiable facts. He stated unequivocally that Akpabio has cases associated with embezzlement of public funds hanging around his neck with the EFCC.

That legally, he should be under criminal investigation which should not have guaranteed his eligibility to be in any government office or position.

That’s his point.

Second point - he mentioned that Akpabio shouldn’t be a judge in his own case. That’s one of the prominent pillars of the evergreen principle of “natural justice.”

He didn’t judge Akpabio. He only stated verifiable facts about him and I quite agree with him 100%.

When EFCC under Buhari was pursuing this case then, it was this same people that were crying witchhunt, intolerance to the opposition.

Donald Trump who is a serial rapist is currently the President of US. Imagine a human being raping a porn actress, someone whose vagina is on the screen of most youths in Nigeria and all round the world, except North Korea where the penalty for watching porn is death, how can you rape such a dirty public toilet?
World leaders by seriousness of criminal activities.

1. Vladimir Putin- Serial Killer
2. Donald Trump- Serial Rapist
3. Bola Tinubu- Serial Thief

Akpabio is like a junior thief under the Tinubu umbrella.

Lol... Y'all will be shocked to know that Akpabio, in all his failings, is not even the worst of the bunch leading this nation.

A great man once said...

"If you need to ascertain the temperature of an organisation, simply put the thermometer in the mouth of the leader or leaders"


There is no mystery to the downward spiral of every sector of Nigeria, especially since 2015.


No nation can outgrow or develop beyond the quality of leaders it has.
APC has produced the worst leadership in Africa. It wasn't that PDP was doing a great job but the leadership of Buhari and Tinubu has been a sorry sight.

Why bringing Tinubu into this? Why trying to make this look like a tribal shit? You should know in situation like these all dick and Harry flex muscle, its normal.

And in a nutshell can you tell me the crime Tinubu committed and provide any substantial proof at your possession pls if you don't want thunder to fire you don't come here and be felling e 460k dollar nonsense with no proof.

Akpabio is going nowhere this one talking is he clean? So we know his type and no one will take him serious.

Did ibb, abacha, our own Pej, Madueke, Hell Rufai, Peter Obi, Atiku, Saraki etc gone to jail? From Shagari era till date all politician and head of state and president should be in jail so what the hell are you talking?

When Atiku and other Northern vultures said Akpabio should be jail or force to step down did you mention Atiku crime then? Hell No, so pls mechionuu biko.

List all Tinubu crime and I will list obi my own brother sins for everyone to see shey you no get sense ba? I go force you to get sense.
