Not at this time, please. APC should play into the hands of those that will use issues like this to create discord in the polity in order to destroy Tinubu's chances
don’t worry, they just want to embarrass and expose those forming coalition with Atiku. First it was amaechi’s wife getting 4 billion naira monthly from NDDC, now Tambuwal withdrawing over 100 billion from a poor state like Sokoto and these clowns claim that they want to rescue Nigeria.

As if Tambuwal will be successfully prosecuted...EFCC is just a tool in the hands of any ruling party to harass and intimidate the opposition.

Quote it by yourself since you are Albert Einstein.

Common sense maynot be common anyway, a trained civil lawyer of over 10 years.

If I say what's on my mind...NL will restrict me.

EFCC Host Tambuwal to high table in order to gain insights into the judiciously used one hundred and eighty nine bullions.

You expect someone who doesn't know his worth to declare his networth??
Lanruze:
The current crop of Ministers currently in power in the PBAT Admin have 22 of them with EFCC cases and are still in court including the Minister of State for Defence.

EFCC has done two things today alone that is making me doubt their intergrity.

Till today the President - PBAT has not declared his assets as stipulated by the law. At least Buhari openly declared his assets to even his cows.

APC is the worst collection of corrupt politicians in our country, previously led by Abacha’s PTF a-looter comrade and now led by the lootocracy Lagos master plan owner.

You can take that to the bank.

socialmediaman:
The 2018 Rating by Transparency International placed Nigeria at 148th position out of 180 countries. Nigeria was improving over the years under the previous government, until Buhari got elected as president, things became worse.

There is a difference between fact and fiction. We need to face facts, Buhari is worse than GEJ when it comes to fighting corruption, at least that’s what the facts prove.

Most of us believed there was corruption under Goodluck Jonathan’s Government. I agree with those who did, there was corruption, but not as bad as it is today under Mohammadu Buhari.

In 2012, Nigeria was placed at 139th position, In 2014, Nigeria gained 3 steps and was placed at 136th position. Under Buhari, Nigeria has lost many positions down to 148th.

There’s no further proof needed that corruption has worsened under Buhari’s government compared to previous years.

Is it true Tambuwal loot his state or not
It is not everybody in opposition that is being witchhunted.
Tambuwal was known as a very useless individual who looted his poor state dry.
Being in opposition will not shield him

He should just join APC and the charges will be withdrawn.
This here is the sole reason why most of these politicians are trooping to the dm

What about Yahaya Bello?
The charges have not been withdrawn and he has always been in APC.

Tambuwal can not escape his slippery nature and should now tell his own Story behind the bar.
Actually,some of these -Past Governors in Nigeria - Are the Real Debacles in NIGERIAN Politics and are Not A good Examples to the Youths and the Masses - because there is No Consequences For the Humongous Loots They Are Parading Everywhere - Locally and ABROAD!

Tambuwa is in a long thing. His crime know be today. Tambuwa only crime is betrayal. First, he betrayed Jagaban during selection of Speaker of HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE and betrayed Wike during the PDP Presidential primaries.

Of course you're right If Ben Ayade of Crossriver State could be walking freely on the streets of Nigeria after depleting the his state's treasury without any tangible project to show for it throughout his 8years tenure as governor, eventually towing the path of crosscarpeting at the tail end of his tenure. Then what is good for the goose would be good for the gander definitely.

Asset Declaration Law for Public Officers is what you are requesting ?

Even common Bankers must declare their assets not to talk of a sitting President.
Are you sure you're okay? Educate and enlighten us by quoting the law.
