Bro nothing will happen. Heavens wont fall and Nigeria wont collapse
Heaven never falls.

If it continues like this, we have to accept that we are under a dictatorship.

Why not arrest Atiku?

Why not arrest Amaechi?

Why not arrest Dino?

Why not arrest El Rufai?

Etc Etc.

Its just bad timing to try to intimidate opposition.

If he has corruption case to answer,why is it now after 2 years he left office as a governor of sokoto state simply because he is opposition to maladministration of APC led federal government.
Tinubu was put on the docket for corruption 5 years after he left Alausa as Lagos state governor. Once EFCC picks you , you need to clear your name. I am in opposition you cannot touch nor dey there.

If Tambuwal is innocent he will come back stronger

He has not coerced Fayose who was arrested, prosecuted by EFCC without any evidence. I am not saying Fayose didn't steal o. Let everyone indicted go to court and proven innocent.

It’s funny how Atiku calls it ‘political harassment’ when his allies are involved, but stays silent when others face corruption probes. Justice must be blind, not selective .

Every single person in the APC, PDP, and the ADC are corrupt.

So why not arrest everyone?

Please tell me if you are president.

And suddenly you start arresting members of your opposition.

Harrassing them.

Intimidating them.

Is that good?

Ok, if they decamp to your party, suddenly they are innocent?

Like Akpabio?

Who knows whether the 189 billions in cash is part of the money fueling insecurities in Northern Nigeria.
Obasanjo’s jilted woman comments because Atiku frustrated his third term agenda have been overtaken by his 2019 endorsement of Atiku, who resisted northern pressure to make Obasanjo a one term president in 2003.

2003 was the first time that ebilokan’s expired soldier asked us to give him the job of president.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.

Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.

Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.

The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.

The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.

Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.

The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.

But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.

During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).

The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.

Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.

Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:

“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.

“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”

If anybody needs to be arrested he will be arrested position or opposition.
Obasanjo did it
Good luck did it
Buhari did it
Joe biden did it

So stop being hypocritical, the game is to weaken your opposition power , that os politics.
What we should ask ourself , did he or did he not commit the crime.

Why does this matter? Let APC lock up all the LP, PDP, ADC criminals, and when the ADC /PDP are in government, they should lock up APC politicians.

Sokoto is a complete mess, yet these useless former governors is only interested in political power.

Nigeria's justice system is one that deems one innocent until proven guilty not the other way round. The onus is not on him to prove his innocence. It is rather on EFCC to prove his guilt
Re: Tambuwal: Atiku reacts to EFCC's detention of ex-Sokoto Governor by WizardOfNG: 4:13pm On Aug 12, 2025
This is another proof Atiku will be a terrible president. Why preemptively announce innocence or guilt?

All genuinely dedicated leaders know that, regardless of personal opinion, they must always show public respect for the rule of law.

This just shows the patently lawless nature of Atiku same way he disgrwcefully insisted Akpabio has a history of sexaully harassing women based on the unproven allegation of Senatoe Lie-Tasha. Na wa.

The most corrupt politicians are in Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC that was previously led by Abacha’s PTF a-looter comrade who handed over to the Lagos magician. The magician for making money disappear, like the trillions annual Lagos budget and the $84 billion subsidy savings of zero impact.

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.

This alone shows the nature of President Atiku will be.

Pragmatically sound and critical-thinking folks don't use opinions of individuals as factual validation of anything.

Unless you can prove any claim you make, I don't want to hear it.
