That's because we've limited corruption to jst stealing money

The lifestyle he and his family live in London cannot be accounted for by his salary or his declared assets

So Buhari’s regime was “the worst corrupt regime,” but you’re suddenly mute while Tinubu pushes a ₦15 trillion fraud project disguised as a coastal highway , awarded without transparency, environmental assessments, or even a competitive bidding process?

Tinubu dipped his hands into our commonwealth, dolled out trillions, and handed it over to his Chagoury ally under the guise of development. That’s not anti-corruption, that’s corruption with a beachfront view.

Let’s not pretend this is about integrity. If Buhari’s government was a mess, Tinubu’s is a masterclass in elite looting, rebranded as reform. From shady contracts to his Lebanese crony, to skyrocketing food prices, a free-falling naira, and a country run like a private estate, this isn’t progress. It’s a grander, greedier heist.
Cabbage without any substantial fact. How many times will this costal highway linger ? Listen to Umahi latest Interview at Arise TV and learn rather than spewing venom.

But people under him looted so massively and his government battered the economy of this country,he never supervised and on going project as a leader,all he does is to wait for commissioning, whether the project was properly and truthfully executed or not doesn't bother him.
Can anyone show us a picture or video of Buhari visiting the site as president of an ongoing project apart from a finished project he is commissioning?
He completely loose guard when it comes to superintending over his Ministers.all of them were just having a free ride and doing what they like
A president primary job shouldn't be visiting construction sites, they have ministers foe such jobs

Same as Jonathan, Jonathan has no corrupt case except for his cabinet, the people working with him were so corrupt and looting.

Godwin Emefiele did a dirty job and looted enough during the cashless period under buhari

Both of you up are hypocrites, so what pdp did in 16yrs was not corruption? 16 billion dollars for energy and money went down the drain during Obasanjo's regime, and mind you this was direct from the presidency! Many of his monsters and even his IG of police were convicted of corruption charges and served jail terms..

His vice Atiku was openly accused of corruption by his principal obasanjo and was indicted in the Halliburton bribery scandal, and Jefferson the US Congress man served jail terms!

Pin point any project started and completed by that regime!

Are you overlooking the highest corruption heist by several appointees of Jonathan administration? Diezani Madueke, Sambo Dasuki, Andrew Yakubu ex GMD NNPC, Kola Aluko and jide omokere, Dan Etete etc who stole monies in billions of dollars? How can we forget the role of pastor Oritsejafor whose Private jet was caught with monies meant for arms procurement in South Africa?

What projects were started and finished by that administration?

If you wanna throw stones please do it without bias, there is no corruption cause any one of you can tie Buhari and Tinubu to, meanwhile Buhari remains the only president who have directly done major projects from start to finish in Nigeria's post independent history! Keffi to Makurdi road dualizatuon spanning over 200kilimeters, the Enugu axis is currently ongoing in Tinubu's government, Second Niger bridge is visible for all to see! He completed the Abuja Kaduna rail project!
I am a beneficiary of the COVID loan, I also know of family members, friends who benefitted from those loans too!

Tinubi's govt is doing the coastal roads and the projects are ongoing simultaneously!

Not running brief for any of them but pointing out the hypocrisy is avoiding pdp and accusing others as if they gave us heaven on earth?

Can't such code be overlooked especially when it is obvious that the president in subject committed the crime
Don't think so, it has been like that since time memorial. Even if an ex president stole trillions without any single achievement (which can be seen in the past and present administration), you can't probe them. That is just black man's way of politics. Even down to the governors. If you see any top political office holder getting probed, know it's cus of party beefs, not to the interest of the citizens.

Both of these presidents bask in the grandeur of chronic corruption. Technically, both of them won’t directly steal monies, but will award contracts through fictitious processes and get kickbacks through proxy.

It is laughable when you read these comments online saying Buhari didn’t steal money. He was the minister of petroleum and you know what was recently found through audits that trillions of Naira have been unaccounted for! The corruption culture in Nigeria is eternal and it is what will sink this contraption below sea level.

Re: Despite Accusations, Nobody Could Pin Any Corruption On Buhari - Pastor Bakare by CreativeOrbit: 8:05am On Jul 15, 2025
With all due respect to Pastor Bakare, the assertion that ‘nobody could pin any corruption on Buhari’ oversimplifies the reality of governance under his administration. While it is true that President Buhari maintained a personal reputation for modest living, corruption is not limited to individual conduct alone — it extends to the systemic failures, impunity, and the protection of cronies that flourished under his watch.

Under Buhari’s administration, we witnessed staggering allegations and documented cases of mismanagement: the opaque fuel subsidy regime, the multi-billion naira scandals in NNPC, the unaccounted trillions in security spending, and the repeated failure to prosecute high-profile aides credibly accused of corruption. Even respected global agencies consistently ranked Nigeria poorly in corruption perception indexes during his tenure.

Therefore, claiming that nobody could ‘pin any corruption on Buhari’ is misleading because the test of integrity in leadership is not merely personal frugality but the courage and will to build transparent institutions, ensure accountability at all levels, and subject all public officers — including allies — to the rule of law without selective treatment. In that regard, the record speaks for itself.

He was completely clueless. Dollars from CBN sold left and right in black market under his watch - ask El Rufai
He was C-in-C and minister for Petroleum for eight years yes the sector was in complete ruins. Billions disbursed for refinery was looted.
Naira was printed with reckless abandon - ask Obaseki. You can also ask PBAT who is presently battling with the aftermath
He presided without accountability.
Yet 'noting was/is pinned on him' but we are trying to pin all-what-not on Obi!
Re: Despite Accusations, Nobody Could Pin Any Corruption On Buhari - Pastor Bakare by ManOfSon: 8:12am On Jul 15, 2025
Because you don't know what corruption is, Pastor Bakare. Nepotism - the use of public authority to enrich friends and family - is the worst form of corruption! Buhari's biggest legacy is nepotistic corruption.

Let’s be clear, my argument isn’t with PDP. I was responding to a claim that Buhari’s regime was the worst in corruption and pointing out that Tinubu’s takes it even further.

A ₦15 trillion coastal highway handed to his Lebanese ally without bidding, transparency, or due process isn’t reform, it’s a bigger, bolder heist. You can’t keep using PDP’s past to excuse today’s corruption. The looting didn’t end it just got a beachfront view.

Corruption is the least we would have accused him of. He was incompetent, ineffective and ill prepared to provide leadership and direction.

Corruption thrived under him.
Corruption is also turning blind eye to evil done by those over whom you have authority.

How did his cousin who used to be a recharge card seller suddenly become a billionaire in his regime? What happened to those suitcases then?

Corruption is borrowing money or budgeting money for something and not channelling it to that accordingly.

Corruption is also seeing that a contract is inflated and yet approve it.

Corruption is also nepotism.

Corruption is broad.

They said that they will correct the evils of PDP. APC is evil. They campaigned with the perceived ills of PDP. Tinubu’s stated clearly that he will continue from where buhari stopped. At least the bad governance today is a Testament of it.

Why would he be mentioned? He would be stupid if he was
Has Goodluck Jonathan been named in any fraud case? Yar Adua? Obasanjo? So in that regard his case is not special

That is not how it works

What is important is to look at their lifestyle

How was Buhari able to afford to live in London or pay for healthcare there?
What about his wife and children ? What kind of lifestyle do they live for example the university education in the UK . Who paid for that?
The lifestyle on display in London is not consistent with his salary or declared assets

Let us not pretend he did not benefit

He was clearly intentional in looking after his family members like Daura e,g

He can have plausible deniability but many people close to him became overnight dollar millionaires and after he left office they continue to fund a lifestyle that is obviously beyond his means and maintaining a facade of incorruptibility

There's no one that can rule Nigeria in her current system that would ever be praised by all and sundry.

It's the Nigerian nature.

The only thing Tinubu can do to place his battered name on the good book is to break this country and the system into a regional system of Government or at least a parliamentary system of Government.

This current system can't take us anywhere reasonable.

you made my point actually. He was in it with emefiele but he covered it up. Even all these tinubu is doing now will probably go unsaid in the next tenure.

Haaa

You are not corrupt, but you put most highly inefficient people whose expertise is in robbing the treasury to the last in position, in that case do you actually play different from corrupt yourself?

Under him, Nigeria Air charade was launched that billions was used to stage-manage, what of billions budgeted for state of the art Aso rock medical facilities? Where are they? With all the billions, the people in powers still visit abroad for their medicals...

Is this a joke or something?

Buhari was not corrupt but he was grossly incompetent. He was brainless and also clueless.
Under his watch politicians were on a looting spree. He could not question any document brought to him before signing.
He drove Nigeria into multi dimensional poverty.
So the question is not about him not being corrupt but how well was he able to lead the country.
You're right my brother, he had good intentions for Nigerians WALAHI!
But sincerely he didn't have the mental capacity to lead and actualize those good intentions.
Re: Despite Accusations, Nobody Could Pin Any Corruption On Buhari - Pastor Bakare by Apel147(m): 10:17am On Jul 15, 2025
What I am telling you is that pdp stole more money than APC u should be using them as reference points!

Have you quickly forgotten why ex CBN governor Emir Sanusi was sacked by Jonathan?

“President Goodluck Jonathan today ordered the suspension… weeks after the CBN Governor exposed the theft of at least $20 billion by officials of Nigerian petroleum ministry” .

the coastal highway project is currently ongoing if you are blind to see it, then blame yourself. You should be talking about other Tinubu's obvious corrupt practices like the billions they allocated to Yatch from the budget. The coastal highway is a good project and will come to completion
